Matt, I recently lost a friend to suicide this past July. He introduced me to you and your band around Shogun. To keep his spirit alive, I purchased my first guitar. The first song I'm going to learn will be one from Trivium. Even through the darkest of times, music is a huge release for me. Keep influencing the next generation. I appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

[@KondorXT]

Very sorry to hear that man. Great way to live on their legacy.

[@kristimarriner7673]

So sorry for your loss.💔

[@DoonX1]

Sorry man...rough times. I would recommend you learning but to fall or insurrection first. They are pretty easy songs. Good luck man. And sorry again.

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

I'm sorry about your friend my condolences

[@matthewkheafy]

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️

[@dsweehgfdder5012]

As gorgeous as this guitar is, I cannot WAIT for the new signature epiphones. Gonna get it the second I can

[@ericvalverderosado2046]

Yeah, they are taking forever to launch it

[@cream6975]

Im hoping theres gonna be a 7 string explorer

[@NsIX3]

Snofall.....lets go baybeeeee

[@hammondsfromtexas]

Same!

[@Ottophil]

@Advanced Solutions lol you can’t even afford epiphone and you’re gonna shit on gibson. Typical poor person

[@ronniejacobsen3000]

Yes! Headless!!!! I used to hate headless but now it's pretty much all I play, so ergonomic and comfortable in my getting older lol.

[@heavymetalchef5132]

The Reaper is definitely a fitting name for this Beast!

[@justintavares9730]

the cheeky Rising riff snuck in there ;) hahah

[@themanwithamission]

This thing sounds like evil incarnate

[@aeroragesys]

Matt, your picking is amazing. Would love more thrashy Shogun-esque riffs on the next album!

[@KirbySTompy]

Oh man, that case is amazing. Oh man, that guitar is gorgeous

[@shapedokkan]

it looks like a legendary weapon from a video game lol

[@deanbootlegguitarist9000]

Been a trivium fan since I first heard the song blinding tears something something. One of the few songs that got me into metal core n all sorts. When I found out that you guys were like 17, 18 during the recording of the ember to inferno album, it blew my mind. Awesome guitar riffs, crazy drum tracks. Anyways long live trivium

[@Calvin-pn5ud]

I think it stayed in tune during shipping is because it is not made from wood.

[@helco2856]

All these gifts. Must be a Christmas like every other month for you lol

It sounds so beefy, perhaps a rendition of Down from the Sky on it?

[@Kaji653]

Now that has to be used in a music video I wanna see it in all its glory being shredded on

[@dherdy9205]

Thanks Matt currently the 7 string has dived a little though you can here what we've been missing , the extra fretting is real , And there's a few nice models appearing in the shadows of the net ,

[@dedompler]

This video definitely scored Aristides some sales. It looks incredible and you make it sound reaaaal nice

[@jeffdean277]

God damn i wish I could afford one. I played one a couple months ago and I know what you mean. Insanely comfortable and easy to play.

[@romanpleshkov1125]

wow, this guitar sounds good

[@franksalazar7939]

Wow that guitar sounds Amazing! 🔥🔥

[@kovacsistvanhetfield]

Sick tone holy sht!!!!!

[@CitizenSnips89]

Throwin in that fine technical skill with smoke on the water. Flex received.

[@lyledurand]

Would love to see you demo the DSP Gojira plugin Matt!

[@DoonX1]

Insanely light...coming from the guy who littlerly put more wights on his first signature guitar to make it heavyer.... Change is good. Lol!

[@TheOtherDudeGuitar]

Awesome guitar. Sounds amazing.

[@garysanders3193]

That thing is ridiculously awesome!

[@tonyme7426]

Like the way you like me when adjusting straps. Thanks for leaving that in.

[@castianplagued]

Dream guitar right there. Been Listening to since I was teen even had a bad shirt back in them days 😅

[@tonycarpaccio9550]

Every guitar they make looks amazing. Even saw this pink sparkle one on insta that I would rock lol.

[@benjamincostley3109]

That's fire. I really want one

[@horriblejohn9441]

Sick guitar that's amazing

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

what a cool guitar I wish it had a headstock though Great video Matt I love Trivium

[@royalcat10]

I agree with that. I certainly can see the convenience and it's possibly an objective *upside* to not having a headstock; due to removing something that's prone to breaking and keeping the strings much straighter could improve tuning stability but... A guitar just looks so... Incomplete, without a headstock.

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

@@royalcat10 yeah I agree a guitar without a headstock just looks weird to me and incomplete just like you said

[@iconiconiconiconicon]

Personally i love the look of a headless. Hated them before but whaddayaknow they grew on me. Especially with 7 and 8 strings

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

@@iconiconiconiconicon yeah 7 and 8 strings are prety cool but man you have to stretch your hands a lot to reach all those strings it would take me awhile to get used to playing those kinds of guitars whatever you like or are used to playing is cool that's why I love that there are different guitars for everyone to choose from and play

[@iconiconiconiconicon]

@@TETRARCHFREAK Yeah I hear you, it definitely takes some time to get used to the "extra" strings. The smaller form factor with this guitar and lets say Strandbergs makes the 7 and 8 strings seem more accessible since I don't have huge hands

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

I had just mentioned how I want to grab your dual-strap system(names skipping me), and that Im planning on not getting anymore guitars till I save for an expensive one that will be my main workhorse for life, which the Aristidies H/07 was looking best for me as a chuggy mainly rhythm player.

[@martijnvanderark4117]

I live in Holland and i cant wait to try one of em

[@goodnice2564]

VERY NICE GUITAR

[@anthonyp3450]

New stuff is good.✨

[@richjennings63]

Now that guitar is a cyberpunk 2077 guitar

[@mikeminol]

That looks awesome!!

[@uhhDthOKAY]

Using the Revv or 5150 in this video?

[@planetearthify]

Hopefully the new heafy signatures are available in stores for Canada this time around.

[@nicolasthibodeau7122]

Don’t know if Matt Signature are available in Canada but I have just ordered Corey Signature two days ago on the Long and McQuade site

[@jussi-pekkalaakko8768]

sounds awesome

[@andreasaltinalmazis-kondyl6344]

those cleans man...

[@SoundFriendly]

I don't think this guitar needs an other review other than this one :D :D

[@thetroubledmonk]

Matt...you fucking beast. That be some serious tight guitar playing. If you are going to play guitar that close to the mic, add some of them vocals good sir. Oh, and absolute beauty of a guitar, but not going to lie, I will forever be weirded out by guitars missing the headstock.

[@allboutthemojo]

Prices start at 2,600 euros. Beautiful but you can get a fully custom guitar made for $1000

[@Grant_Sheppard]

Wish there was a website to where you can get them. I can't find one.

[@cpamiseso]

Asking insignificant bits, how do you like the Arium stuff compared to traditionally wooden guitars, Matt? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

[@cpamiseso]

I mean, from weight perspectives, sound, feel on hands, etc if you could possibly give 1-10 rating perhaps.

[@adamauzmendi7851]

Hey mate the beard is looking lush these days 👍🏼😉 Can’t wait for COVID to blow over so you guys can get back down under to AUS keen to see dead men live 🤘

[@Alvarius_official]

Iv played one of these the ring on thisnis amazing . Looks like a star wars guitar

[@docsworld1369]

I talked with you at your merch table in Orlando at House of Blues New Year party with Sevendust and Blacktide in 2012. I didn’t even know who you were. I used to skip out on opening bands and just come in for the headliners. Glad I saw Trivium and Blacktide that night. This guitar sounds like death coming for us. Great job capturing such a ruthless tone.

[@primaalexilaiho7699]

Cool guitar 🤘

[@Franclorn]

We need a Steinberger Spirit Matt Heafy signature guitar so we can all get killer headless guitars at a reasonable price point. Can you talk to your friends at Gibson and make that happen, please? :)

[@jesselopez693]

Bro you get the sickest guitars.

[@RacingwithMax]

It shipped that quickly?! Goddamn, that's nuts. I ordered a floyd rose bridge set for a guitar rebuild I'm working on and it's been sat in New York for the past four weeks. Dread to think of how long it's going to take to finally get to the UK Also ordered a set of Hetfield EMG's and just got told a few hours ago that the EMG Warehouse in the UK don't have them so they've gotta come from the US so it's anyone's guess as to when they'll arrive Anyway, rant over. Sick Guitar there my dude. Pretty damn jealous. Any chance of seeing these Axes debuting on the Stage one day?

[@diogofreitas161]

OMGD AMAZINGGGG

[@jameskemmett4473]

Beauty!

[@joshwairau183]

Hell yeah

[@mylesayakawa2234]

I'm pretty sure I need that shirt

[@acvr-pd3kt]

yooo... Do you prefer the abasi guitars over the aristides, feel/tone wise? Wish one feels more natural or comfortable to play in? Thinking of buying one but have not decided yet.

[@juliolupinojl]

Uaaaau 👊👏👏👏! !! Sinistrona essa guitar! !!

[@NsIX3]

So If I'm not mistaken, these guitars aren't made of wood? Still sounds damn good

[@bndncn]

Right, it's a carbon and glass fiber "shell" filled with a kind of ceramic/glass foam that more or less gives you the resonance of a hollow body with the tone of a solid body. Aristides guitars are known for how loud they are when not plugged in. They're just insanely resonant. Also, the shell is one piece, so it's not like a bolt-on neck or even a neck-thru design, it's all literally one piece.

[@masonthomas6834]

Oleg would say that it chugs. And chugs it does.

[@JiosX]

What's the difference between H/07 and H/07R?

[@tiptopflipflop7991]

The R means that there is no finish on the guitar. Aristides just builds the guitar out of their special sauce called "arium" and they can apply pretty much any color you want to it. I'm getting an H/07r cause the finished models are really expensive.

[@TMac-Attack]

Badass!!

[@colonelinfernal5004]

If Batman had a guitar, this would be his axe.

[@kevy4548]

Sounds very heavy

[@magnusswann2403]

epiphone case in background, has he got the demo models ;)

[@chuggnutz]

This is a super sexy guitar, and sounds beautiful. What's the easiest trivium song to play? I'm slowly learning and can play a few Static X and System of a down songs so far. I can play small parts of rhythm on a 7 string to Chelsea Grin too but nothing major. Would honestly love to learn a whole Trivium song though. Been listening to you guys since your first album and your music holds a special place in my heart.

[@nicolasthibodeau7122]

Dying in your arms and Built to fall are kinda easy, good song to start with in my opinion !

[@chuggnutz]

@@nicolasthibodeau7122 Thank you for your help/advice. 🙂

[@crestfallen821]

will u use it live with trivium at some point?

[@2BAvalon]

How can you tune it?

[@TheOtherDudeGuitar]

The tuners are on the bottom of the guitar.

Aristides called. They want an apology for insulting one of their instruments like that.

another same looking guitar, but sounds good tho

That’s definitely a beautiful guitar sounds like it plays great but I’m pretty sure it’s out of my price range which sucks oh well You hate to see it

[@SilkandScrooge]

That thing probably cost money

I just want a body like that with a headstock is that too much to ask for?

Awesome guitar but it needs a head!! 🤘🤘

With how excited he was to get that guitar I was excepting him to squeal like a girl

[@donjuanmurphy5180]

Bro, ya should shave ya head...it feels and looks waaay better...its liberating 🤘🏾😈

[@LesGrossman69]

I can never take a guitar without a headstock serious, it just looks so dinky. Sound great though

[@NoiZeTribe4Life]

sounds good cuz but thts an ugly ass axe HAHA

[@argh6666]

Sounds really bad... Very thin and mushy distortion.

[@eastjebus6870]

looks like they just ripped off Strandbergs Boden...

[@johnwalter6410]

Headless guitars are fugly though

[@scottc3321]

Dont like it. His sig epihpones are hella nicer and sound amazing. I this sounds like cheap mudd. Dont get me wrong, Matt could make a piece yarn and a box sound incredible, but not this. Too muddy, clarity sucks (imo). Im sure they ask some ultra ridiculous price too. I hope he sticks with his signatures. Way better investmet.
