AHX Baritone is our premium line of baritone guitars and basses, equipped with our patent-pending FretCircuit smart assistive technology.
AHX instruments deliver versatile tonal solutions for every genre. With just one guitar or bass, you can cover virtually any style — from clean and jazzy to high-gain rock and beyond.
What is FretCircuit and how does it work?
FretCircuit is a modular, worry-free circuitry system built into the guitar neck. Add or swap assistive modules — visual indicators, tactile sensors, maintenance sensors — safely and easily, with no destructive wiring or expensive repairs.
Can I upgrade or change modules myself?
Yes! FretCircuit is designed for DIY upgrades. Modules plug in and out quickly, so you can customize your guitar without a technician.
Does it affect the tone or playability of the guitar?
Not at all. The circuitry is integrated into the neck with minimal impact on tone, weight, or balance. Your AHX Baritone still feels and sounds like a premium guitar.
What if a module fails?
Modules are easily replaceable. FretCircuit’s plug & play design means you can swap a module yourself quickly and economically.

Are these guitars suitable for live performance? Is FretCircuit only for players with disabilities, or for everyone?
Absolutely — AHX Baritone Guitars are built for all players. FretCircuit modules enhance performance, accessibility, and customization for everyone, whether you’re on stage, in the studio, or practicing at home.
What is the FretCircuit companion software and what does it do?
The companion software lets you customize and control your FretCircuit modules from your computer or mobile device. Adjust settings, monitor sensor data, switch modes, and update your modules — all easily, without needing technical expertise.
What materials do AHX Baritone guitars use when incorporating FretCircuit? Are non-wood materials involved?
AHX guitars still use traditional tonewoods — no non-wood materials, no screw-in fretboards, and no “weird-futuristic” designs. Our patent-pending FretCircuit technology is carefully integrated to preserve the classic look, feel, and sound we all love.
