Aristides 060 Guitar Review: THE Modern Guitar.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- Let's do it. This is probably the single most requested guitar I've ever had on the channel. They don't send them out for reviews, and they're hard to get a hold of. Let's pick through the details of the exhausted Aristides 060 6-string modern guitar. No wood, just magical Arium squirted into a mold. How did it work out for them? Let's check it out.

Great review! To be more specific, the guy i bought it from sold it with the 4th position not working. I just had it rewired to a traditional 5 way setup and didnt touch the push pull function. It still has the schaller megaswitch m, so that is the wiring set up currently running in it. You should have all positions of the switch working right now. By the way i picked up a set of thornbuckers after i saw your video on them. So glad i did. They are probably tied for 1st in my favorite pickups lol
Ha! Yeah 4th sounds like a telephone almost. I'll have to redo it at some point but I'm not in a rush. If it only had position 1, it'd do 99% of what I want to play on it :P
Thumbs up for Opeth!
Blackwater Park is one of my favorites, if not my favorite album of all time.
Me too man, might be my #1 of all time. 10/10, all the way through.
*Great review* ... as usual!
Thanks dude, took me forever to put together cause I've been so busy. Kept putting off the editing lol.
As far as modern guitars go I want multi-scale. The change in string tension does make a difference and I find the fanned frets easy to navigate so that did open up more options for me. Also looking into headless options is another thing too I think those 2 are ways to get over that modern guitar fatigue.
Yeah Strandberg will take you on a trip if you want weird EVERYTHING haha. I dig em, but they are out there for sure.
Been waiting for this one. Nice review as always. Bonus points for Opeth. "Modern guitar fatigue" hasn't set in for me (never owned a $2K+ high end guitar). Instead, I would call it "modern guitar paralysis," as in I can't choose my first high end guitar based on the overwhelming options and brands. So I'll keep living vicariously through you until inspiration strikes.
That's just it...they're all great. They all do what you need. So really, it just comes down to style, shape, brand preference, etc. I don't think anyone is missing out by going Kiesel over this. Mayones over Music Man, etc. Pick your poison! They're all awesome.
Aristides are costum made. There is a list with specs you can choose when you order one. Every guitar is created with specs the player wants. Paintwork, pick-ups, hardware is all like the previous owner ordered it.
Your bridge appears to be slightly off its location post (high E side). The sting relation to the edge of the neck is slightly off and the front edge is not sitting parallel to the recess rout . Should just pull in to position if you detune and gently push until the two points on the high E side pivot make equal contact on the post.
Yeah I noticed that too. I tried to fix it, but when I retune it seems to want to slot back in as it is. I'll try another adjustment next time I take the strings completely off.
Love the gold hardware against the white…except the pickup covers
hey! i liked the white and gold combination!
To each their own! Wasn't for me though :)
Yeah, I like white and gold combo too! But I understand why so many people don't...
Oh snap thats my battleworn aqua 080s!, miss it dearly
Definitely does the high gain great! Wanted to let you know the Eastman I bought, does not disappoint, especially for the price, the best fretwork I’ve seen and polished ebony fingerboard looks amazing! Lollar pickups sound great! And stays in tune well for that style headstock! So if ever need a backup for your Gibson, would be a great option.
That's awesome news. I really want to check one out, and I've heard Lollars are basically perfect pickups. Sounds like I should just sell the R9 and keep the cash and enjoy an Eastman haha.
Very nice guitar and review.
My dream, “progressive” guitars are Mayones Duvell and Aristides 060 with the biggest frets I can get my hands on, but like you said, I’d also be happy with a LOT of other metal guitars.
While the arium is interesting, there is something magical with Mayones’ open pore exotic necks. Maybe I’m just old and love wood.
Yeah that's totally fair. I dig the look of wood too, even if it doesn't make a huge difference for this sort of high-output tone. The Arium seems to do just as good of a job. But hey, I bet a Mayones would get you there too :)
A couple of you requested I start a Discord server. I'll probably mention it on the next Let's Buy video, but here is a link if you want to discuss guitars with the community early (aka there is no one in there!): discord.gg/KjWzGpx
Great review. A couple of points that might justify the price: 1) there is no outsourcing, so they should have the the best quality control. You can't compare it then to the price of a made in Korea ESP or a made in Indonesia Ibanez but to the upper end Made in Japan models where you know they are being properly checked when they leave the factory. 2) Being not made of wood, I won't have to worry about things like fret sprout, neck bowing, uncomfortable neck joints, truss rod adjustments that I would probably have to worry about with wood guitars since they are subject to the elements. Also, I won't have to kill any endangered rain-forest trees to make the fretboards. 3) the raw color option makes it under $2500 or so, which makes it competitive to say, a Keisel which can get quite expensive once you add in all the exra bells and whistles as well.
Yeah totally fair. Their factory looks state of the art too. Not to mention our currency (in the States) probably doesn't go that far over there. I love the idea of NO wood...zero movement anywhere. They're awesome guitars, certainly. But yeah, big money.
@@TheGuitarPit I wonder why they still come with truss rods if they have no wood in them?
@@shanewalton8888 I think I actually saw them mention that in a video. It's just to make people feel good, mostly haha. There is also an off chance that you load up the neck with super heavy strings and need to adjust it to compensate for the tension difference? I could be wrong but I vaguely remember hearing that somewhere.
@@TheGuitarPit That could be right. I know heavier strings tend to bow one of my crappier guitars. lol
Interesting comparisons between 'all modern type guitars', do you think if you put thornbuckers in it you'd get a more versatile sound, or does the construction dictate the sonic characteristics?
That's a good question. I'm not sure in this case, because the material is pretty unique so Thornbuckers might sound a lot different than what I would expect? I'm not gonna spend $500 to find out, but for high output stuff, this thing hangs with all the other top notch guitars in the same bracket. When I did that swap on the Vigier it certainly changed the way it sounded, but didn't get it 100% to where my Suhr is, so I think construction and materials certainly play a role.
@@TheGuitarPit Interesting..... I can understand why putting more money into an already expensive guitar isn't a priority! Sounded like position 4 was out of phase? Have you checked out a schematic to see if the pickups are wired correctly?
@@MattsGAP The previous owner actually replied in the comments here. I thought he had said it was broken, but I guess he received it with a problem on 4th position and fixed it...but I think something came loose. It's very low and telephone-y.
I’m not surprised at all about guitars like this sounding good, or things like digital modeling tech sounding good. If you can get the sound you want out of it, it’s silly to think, “but this guitar isn’t that one wood that they’ve been using for decades, that would sound much better.” I think this guitar you are demoing is great. Thanks for making the video!
Thanks Jason. Yeah I thought it sounded great. Only thing is, if you want half broken up, vintage clean tones, you should probably shop elsewhere. But I don't think most expect this guitar to deliver on that sort of vibe :)
The Guitar Pit I see. Well, they don’t all do everything we want, but needing a different sound is one of the ways I justify getting a new model, so that’s cool! :)
Yes I agree they are pretty much flawless. I think compared to wooden ultra modern guitars it is entirely down to the tones you get at the clean end as to what you'r going to like. For instance a Suhr Modern can easily be specked to cover vintage tones but this can't.
Agreed. I'd be curious to hear what this sounds like with vintage pickups, but I suspect the results wouldn't be what most people are looking for.
I decided to sell everything except for my 060 and my strandberg, I don't miss anything I sold (Musicman, Ibanez, Kiesel, PRS, Gretsch), these two covers everything I need.
Ok I do miss the Gretsch but I'm not a vintage guy anyway...
Ha! Yeah I'd believe it. Unless you need vintage tones, an 060 and Strandberg is certainly all you need :)
Pascal aristides the owner of aristides was asked on Instagram a few weeks ago if they would ever make a single cut guitar and he replied simply...NAMM 2020. So maybe a single cut aristides is on the way? 🤞
Ha! That'd be neat. Wonder how it would sound...the material is super resonant so it might be a good match? Who knows I guess.
Well..
I recently got to try a few of these. They were awesome. They felt natural and sounded great. They were close to perfection and they should be for the price (I say close to because I am sure there is a flaw but I couldn't find one). They're a bit heavy but I like that. I would like to have one!
Yup. Totally agree. If you want something vintage or classic, skip it. But if you want metal/modern perfection...really hard to argue against it.
I bought one a few weeks back and love it but I’m in the camp of playing modern shred guitars like Ibanez and Jackson and ESP.
Yeah they are crazy. I just don't see why I'd buy anything else in the same category since it seems basically perfect across the board. Really interesting instrument.
The Guitar Pit
at the moment the collection is:
Ibanez Sz320, a mixture between a les Paul and a Ibanez because it has a very thick mahogany board with rosewood board and 22 frets and 12 inch radius but is a strat shape.
Daemoness Atlantean, a weird custom made guitar with 24 frets, a Ash Board and a Floyd, not a superstrat at all.
Esp LTD Eclipse with a Floyd, 24 Frets Mahogany Body and neck, Ebony Board and EMGs, 14 inch fretboard radius.
Jackson USA WR1, Quintessential Metal Guitar with Alder body, Ebony Board and Maple Neck with a Floyd and Dimarzios, 12-16 inch radius.
Aristides 060 as I’ve said.
PRS SE Holcomb (Of Periphery) with Mahogany Body, Maple Neck and Ebony Board with 24 frets and Seymour Duncan pickups, has a super flat 20 inch fret board radius.
Ibanez RGIT, like an regular rg but neck thru.
Jericho Baritone with Evertune, 17 inch radius, Dimarzio Pickups, 27 inch scale, Ash Body, Maple Neck, Ebony Board with 24 Stainless Steel Frets.
Ibanez MMM1 baritone, 28inch scale, Mahogany Body with Mahogany/Purpleheart Neck and rosewood Board, 12 inch radius and 22 frets.
I will clarify that the Aristides is one of the best guitars I’ve ever played alongside my Daemoness and my Jackson.
Whoah, awesome lineup man. Daemoness look mind blowing. The detail on some of their inlay and art is incredible. And agreed, the 060 is basically a perfect 10 on all fronts. Unless you don't like the style, I just don't see how you can go wrong.
The Guitar Pit I’ve met Dylan who is the main man of Daemoness, he’s an awesome luthier and all around cool guy, the Daemoness I have is one of the first Daemoness guitars made so doesn’t have all the fancy appointments, I got it for less than 1500 used because it was gigged pretty hard but it still plays fantastic
It’s the 22nd in the gallery, doesn’t necessarily mean it was the 22nd made but both Dylan and Barnes (Social Media manager and Artist relations.) have confirmed it’s a old one.

Cool review...agree 100% on the modern guitar fatigue.
Wide flat neck, SS jumbo frets, hipshot hardware, bareknuckle or fishman pickups. All they're doing is swapping the body, so just pick something that looks cool and is comfortable and you're all set! :)
Cool guitar and vid! Good choice on the MODs
Thanks bud!
I like the idea of a neck that never needs adjustment.
Yeah me too. And with the SS frets, it's basically 100% bullet proof. Really cool.
Pretty interesting guitars. Some day I'll afford one of them
Great review! Also love the fact you're playing Opeth lol
Bleak all the way through! Thought I'd torture you guys haha.
3:05 I have to disagree. The material a guitar is made out of makes no difference to the tone once it’s plugged in. It’s all pickups and hardware. Acoustic however is a different deal.
What about the Ibanez Ergodyne?
You're very picky about guitars and I love it! Thanks for the video and keep it up :)
People always say I'm too hard on stuff but I'm just trying to document all the details for people who have to buy guitars without trying them in person :) Doing my best!
Lots of Opeth in here!
I don't play nearly enough different guitars to make a call on that, but going by specs modern guitars are kind of homogenized. Emg, bare knuckle, Dimarzio or a seymour Duncan. Stainless frets are becoming the norm, much the same brands of high preformance hardware, wood the same thing and woods not doing a whole lot with the pick ups that are put in there.
Stuff like Fenders, Friedmans, prs, suhrs,... All either their own pickups their own hardware,...
Seems not unlikely. A lot of the time a brand is jut the look or the vibe you want to put out there I suppose.
Yeah it's just Opeth Bleak all the way through, except the clean demo haha. But you're right, homogenized is the right word. If all guitars have bareknuckles, hipshot hardware, and SS frets...the differences are tiny. Fit/finish stuff still applies, but ANY of the top brands are gonna be nearly spotless. I just don't see a reason to own a bunch of similarly spec'd guitars. Just pick whatever fits you.
Love the pallbearer shirt man
is there a guitar brand with the same no wood concept but with a better look and maybe even custom shape?
Not a lot, if I can recall. You could check out Flaxwood guitars, but there aren't a ton of options. There have been a couple other brands that attempted it but none of them look better than an Aristides, in my opinion.
@@TheGuitarPit ay thanks for the reply, was hoping someone would see my comment and know anything
I did not expect to like this guitars tone but it sounds great!
Sounds about the same as other modern stuff with bareknuckles in it. Plays smooth as hell, so I'd say it's as good as the other options in this bracket. A bit more expensive so you've gotta want the style and weird material. Otherwise I think most would be happy with any of the other modern options.
This is a no Gold zone! It looks great with the black hardware!
That's right! It's soooo nasty on a white guitar too, looks like bling city.
Sounds great and nice playing Chris. So, this type of guitar should never expand or contract?
They claim zero movement based on weather. That's probably true, since the Vigier manages to do that with much less "high tech" stuff. In their factory walk through, it looked like the entire back of the neck is a sheet of carbon fiber as well.
How's the neck compared to a Suhr modern shape wise? Do you cramp on chording with this? I've come to dislike Jackson/Ibanez necks for instance, so I want to make sure it's not too D-shaped.
I liked the neck, but it's pretty thin. Reminds me of a normal Kiesel neck. Certainly thicker than Ibanez, and less shoulders than the Jackson. It's thinner than a Suhr Modern elliptical, but also has less shoulders than the Suhr as well. The 060 is comfortable...but certainly on the thinner side. And yeah, I wouldn't want to be playing regular chords on this thing all day, personally.
I play vigier guitars, the action are somehow really spot on vs my. JP15 and RG, could it be because the 12" radius?
Maybe! Not sure. The neck also has ZERO play in it so I think the Vigier and 060 have a leg up as far as being rock bottom low action capable guitars. My JP6 neck didn't move much, but even a hair can throw it off when the action is slammed absolute lowest possible.
Would you put strandberg in the modern guitar fatigue catagory? They seem to be the most different. I like your perspective though. Why but a Ferrari when you already own a Lamborghini.
Strandbergs are pretty unique in my opinion. They're modern, but you can get them with Suhr pickups, various other options, and their weight and neck shape is 100% unique. 4.5lbs and that odd neck carve is something you can't get somewhere else, so I think they are still worth owning. But yeah, all the other stuff I mentioned is just as good...I just don't need 5 guitars with the same hardware and pickups if that makes sense.
Thumbs up for bleak
Hell yeah, best album of all time.
Are the pickups F-space or not? Thinking of changing the pickups on mine, thx!
I would think so, if you have the hipshot trem. I'd measure just to be sure though.
If a piece of wood could be injected with “🤘🏼Metal🤘🏼” and some devil mojo, it would be that guitar!
Friggin righteous!
Or in this case, a piece of nothing was injected with metal. It's 100% devilmojo juice haha.
The Guitar Pit
Lol!
Pure devil bone!🤘🏼
Do you have a Shimano couch? A big name in bicycle and fishing gear.
Great review Chris.
A couch? Something you saw in this video? No Shimano anything, but lemme know what you mean and I'll tell you what it is haha. And thanks as always, man.
The Guitar Pit 1:48-1:50 Maybe that’s the gig bag?
@@Eventual420 Ohhhhh! Good call, that logo is very similar. I totally get it now. Yeah, that's a Mono gig bag, which I should have shot more b-roll of because it's really interesting. Aristides come with them. Well made, great protection, and even have a neck support thing built in. monocreators.com/pages/m80-stealth
The Guitar Pit, yes that’s interesting information. Really modern appointments in every way with Aristides. On a guess, is this a European company?
Made in the Netherlands, which is a big part of the rough price. I bet the exchange and shipping doesn't do us any favors in the US!
Can I get replacement barrel tuners for Sperzel
Have you played Flaxwood, Switch Vibracell and/or RKS?
Haven't tried any of those. RKS can be found pretty cheap. Switch even less, but the ones I saw looked kind of janky. Flaxwood looked cool, although I've only seen a couple here and there on Reverb. A couple people have mentioned Switch as something to check out, but the good condition ones look a little more expensive than "a fun experiment."
@@TheGuitarPit RKS ruby was one the original duitars I idolized. Not cheap. Switch guitars look wise range a ton, an Stealth is more traditional looking, I like the Wild body style but only in certain colors. Flaxwood has some fair deals on Reverb or eBay right now, even the Hybrid model.
The resonance certainly adds to the tone in higher gain applications, you get a lot more attack in your picking, and you get a lot of sustain for solos.
Of course that’s just from my experience, and i can’t really say anything because everybody has different experiences with certain guitars. What I am certain of is my desire to make an Aristides my dream guitar for my band, they look so cool and fluid feeling!
Pallbearer shirt!

In this pic you can see the two pins on the treble side pivot. Your bridge has one pin not pushed in all the way.
They need to be the same length .
Ahhhh gotcha. Alright I'll take a look next time I have the bridge off. Thanks for the tip.
Looks and sounds great Chris, let me know when you get fed up with it, Lmao, i wish, out of my price range, Cheers buddy
Hah! Thanks as always dude.
No modern fatigue here... I personally hope that these innovations will end up being produced by big guitar companies. In volume, it's probably dead cheap to mass produce these molded guitars.
Yeah fair, I bet a huge company could get these down to a fairly accessible level. If they're willing to do the extra legwork to get the frets right, and immaculate wiring, and all the other detail here...that's another question haha.
I want one of these
i can already smell more modern guitars,maybe the Jason Richardson Ernie Ball sig........!!!!!!!
Dude that Richardson thing is awesome looking. Love the shape and top on there. Too bad it's a fortune AND a 7 string. Not really what I'm looking for :P
@@TheGuitarPit then maybe you have to wait till 2020, because the 6 string version is coming in 2020, you are gonna love it!!!!! or there will be soon a sterling version which would probably go for 1k.
Not a fan of gold eh??? 😆
Great review man. It sounds good. Cheers
No gold hardwareeeee! I can make an exception when it matches a fancy theme like a PRS or Knaggs I guess? Otherwise, get outta here with that gold!
Without trying to pry in your personal life, what do you do for a living?
I do a mix of digital marketing, ads, website building, video editing, etc. Computer stuff!
@@TheGuitarPit gotchya.. it sure looks to pay off.. beautiful collection! Thanks for the content and reply :)
Mostly I just keep selling stuff I already have. It's more a rotating cast rather than the world's biggest guitar collection :)
Why buy a 2k axe and change out the hardware???
Cause it's a $3500 guitar with ugly hardware :)
I don't know about growing tired ... sure: the classic super strat theme may be a bit boring and the guitar that makes me a better player has yet to be invented ^^ I have an Etherial Guitar coming (hopefully the last guitar this year) and Matt has some cool ideas ... To some degree my Rick Toone S2 is also a variation of the super strat, but that thing is the greatest guitar I have ever touched ... so ... lots of things to get excited about :) What I don't get (or at least only to a very small degree) is how people get so excited about whether or not some reissue guitar is .5% closer to some 59 original ...
You got the Rick Toone already? Figured shipping would take forever. Dying to hear what you think. Think you'll put together some photos or even a quick video? :P And wow, an Etherial too. I haven't seen those around much, but I remember the Rings of Saturn guy had one at some point. Totally crazy looking. And fair point on the reissue thing, but I think part of it is everyone wants to play the holy grail and no one has $250k to get a real one. A close reissue might scratch that itch for them. I honestly love my R9...I've never played a real 59 so I have no idea how it compares, but it plays as good as my modern stuff and personally, I like the way it sounds a little more.
@@TheGuitarPit Your Review of the R9 did make me look at some Gibson Les Paul VOS / Custom Shop at a local dealer. They had a couple and I actually liked two of those, but I can't get sufficiently excited about someone trying to copy an old guitar (only guitar I got close to buying was a Fender Eric Johnson Strat they had on Sale). As long as it is done well, I don't eevn see that much of a difference whether it's Gibson making those copies or anybody else. And especially those things vintage fans hang their hat on like the shape of the burst, or whether a repair in the electronics was done with sufficiently aged copper wire, because copper wire back then sounded way different ... not my cup of tea ^^
Short of compairing it to the real thing, what would be interesting to me would be a comparison of the R9 to a good Les Paul Copy like a Burny or similar.
But I am more into somebody trying to take things a step further like Etherial or two like Rick Toone ... I am happy to pay a premium for that. I am just not looking for that "one tone"and if I were, I am pretty sure I would try to work out the part of the tone, that is made by the guitar, with Skervesen or Equilibrium or similar.
I wouldn't mind doing a quick video review of the S2, but I don't really have any video equipment (at all ... not even a selfie stick or similar for my mobile ...). I have some vacation days coming up though, so lets see.
And a very brief "review"" of the S2: Neck Aluminium - looks to be 1 piece - with stainles steel frets. Bolt On System with no upper fret access issues at all. Ash Body with an elaborate proprietary bridge / tuning system. Custom Dimarzios, Master Volume and 9 Position "Tone Pot" with a 5 way blade switch. Guitar is surprisingly heavy, but everything is extremely solid. Tuning system works great - kind of like most headless with tuners near the bridge, which makes tuning on most headless guitars a bit tedious. These Tuning knobs are staggered so they work great. The knobs are also protected from accidentally turning - everything very well thought out. The neck profile is a bit weird - it is kind of like a Strandberg on Steroids ... it is asymetric, thicker on the low string side (all the way, through, not like the "diagonal" Strandberg thing) and it makes a Wizzard Neck look like a baseball bat. It did take some getting used to, but it works great. Setup is incredible - it came set up extremely low straight from shipping - just over 1 mm at the 12th fret on the low string side and at the same time no buzz or anything. The only other Guitar I have with a setup out of the box this incredible is a Padalka. Worth mentioning: It was shipped from Virginia to Oregon via UPS surface, then Oregon to Switzerland via FedEx, and I unboxed it perfectly in tune after about 10 days shipping ... Tone: Both response and sustain are remarkable, sounds great with my Axe FX High Gain as well as Low / Mid Gain Pickup presets. I love everything about it.
The only little negative: I haven't really figured out the Strap Buttons - one seems normal, but the output jack seems to double as the second Strap button. I don't know which system would safely attach to this. Probably not an issue since I doubt this baby will leave my house again ...
Sorry, this one ended up in spam for some reason. Sounds stunning. Interesting to hear that the neck is metal, I didn't expect that. All of the hardware looks so incredible on though..100% bespoke. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far! Some day maybe I'll be lucky to see one at a shop and give it a whirl :)
@@TheGuitarPit Some of the necks are made of wood but I guess the Dark Grey ones with the three point connector system are probably all Aluminum. It would be interesting to find out how much the profile can be cusomised, but the neck thickness definitely takes advantage of the fact that there is no truss rod.
You got me kinda jonesing for one of these now...thanks a lot! LOL
Ha, sorry man! If I'm 100% honest, this guitar is super cool and is a great modern shred thing, but I think you'd be totally happy with plenty of similar guitars. If you want hipshot hardware, bare knuckles, and SS frets...there is probably 15 brands that'll get you there for the half the price. So while this might be the best "body" I think you'd be 98% as happy with a $1500 Kiesel, etc, if that makes sense. I know I certainly would be.
The Guitar Pit - I get ya. I love the Majesty BFR I did the video on and that ticks all the boxes for the “modern” guitar for me...it’s just those Aristides are intriguing!
Yeah I'd be happy to make that trade as well. Majesty BFR is crazy cool. I really like this Aristides, but I struggle to say I like it more than any other similar guitar I've had. Makes it tough to justify the price. I'd offer to trade you this one for the Majesty but gold isn't my color :P
I kinda liked the gold hardware!
Fair enough, but it wasn't for me. I don't think I like gold...anything? Just personal preference :)
cool guitar nonetheless! I agree on the modern guitar fatigue, the 060 kinda reminds me of the majesty without the piezo/preamp thing
What is he playing at minute 15?
Almost every sound clip is from Opeth - Bleak, just different parts of a long song :)

The Stradivarius of our day
Please promote this
I think the best word to describe this guitarist is bitchen!! to me they're lovely looking . my favorite looking guitars but then again I love Parker'fly deluxe'
So they come out of a mold and they are all the same. Sounds pretty generic to me and it cost alot. Im sure its cool but not my thing but hey what ever works for you. Hope you enjoy ur new axe !!!
Personally I think almost every modern guitar with bare knuckles sounds the same. Or other high output pickups. But hey, if you need *one*, this one is pretty awesome :)
You say that as if most guitars arent already just made on a cnc machine lol if your looking for unique, get ur own custom one made. I hate the idea that "hand made" are the best of the best because more often than not your just paying a ridiculously high premium for potential defects lol
I have two vader kisels. Great guitars but they aren't like a Parker or vigier that have necks that don't move or need regular adjusting. You Def need to adjust your kiesel between summer and winter.
Yeah many of the brands that claim they have carbon fiber rods reinforcing the neck still need minor adjustments. Vigier, Aristides and Parker are the only ones that stand out as 100% weatherproof.
Lol I have played a Vigier with 9s! Friggin ridiculous !
Yeah it's basically TOO easy. Maybe if you're a guitar god it's the best, but for me it's just mistake city haha.
Ugh I wish more companies would use richlite fretboards. So tired of the streaky brown ebony fretboards out there.
I haven't heard much about the tone differences, but from what I understand it isn't much. I do love wood, but I have zero problem seeing richlite on new modern stuff. Seems like a perfect match!
niceeee
Aw yeeeeeah.
The resonance is for the players benefit not the audience!
...and as a result...the audience
Yeah, and it comes through very well in this guitar. The springs are a little noisy but nothing a little foam can't fix.
🙈gnnnnnn:-) Seriously, great review mate, very interesting geetar, all the best, Clive✌
Thanks Clive!
Impressively "modern" guitar! And yet they're just doing what Parker envisioned in a sense, but with greater sustainability, it seems.
Yeah pretty neat, eh? I do miss the wood, but I don't really think you're missing out on the playability, resonance, or metal tones.
@@TheGuitarPit It's rad indeed.
BTW, listening to Plini go through his signature Boden and saying he chose veneer over 4A top because it looks nice and it'd help preserve forests made me think our mindless consumerism regarding guitars.
If solutions such as Flaxwood's and Aristides' costs come down into a more widely payable price range, they should become the standard.
You look like john mayer
Probably great but so NOT my thing lol
Yeah I get it, it's extreme modern but it's very cool if that's the EXACT thing you want. Otherwise, easy to skip it :P
@@TheGuitarPit yep, im a fan of old brands, fat necks, small frets, traditional Woods etc.
This is America.. What were you thinking? How dare you have the audacity, the self esteem to voice your personal opinion..!
This is America!
You can't think differently than everybody else.
You need to own every modurn style guitar ever made.
You need to believe what you're told believe.
I spelled Modern wrong on purpose.
Great review, and I hope my sarcasm was evident.
Really enjoy your channel, and this review
Thanks...
Haha thanks man. Yeah I get that it's fun to own different guitars, but there are only so many wide/flat neck, SS fret, bare knuckle guitars I can review before I say "ehhh alright they're all great...pick one!"
Chris, are sitting by your laptop?
Go play outside, right now young man.
I just brought home a PRS McCarty 594 in River Blue.
Yeah, it's a great guitar. I can't play skinny necks anymore.
They hurt my wrist and thumb.
When are you going to take us to buy a new guitar?
Beautiful! I want a 594 with a rosewood neck some day. I haven't sold anything recently so I haven't been shopping as much! Hopefully someone will buy something so I can get back on the horse :)
Unfortunately, PRS discontinued the rosewood neck option.
There's a great music shop nearby, and the owner (PRS dealer) was disappointed, 'cuz that was his next choice...
I'm thinking Music Man Albert Lee HH.. I've played a couple, and I think they sound fantastic, and tonally would be a great SG alternative.
Thanks... 😁👍
Wow!!! I Kinda hate it.

Mankind produced industrial waste. Later Mankind turned that into Paneling and invented the trailer park. Now the Modern Mankind has invented the Aristides! Like Paneling no one is sure what it's made of but we are certain it's not wood.
Great review! Only you could make a vid on a chunk of industrial waste and convince us it's worth $3500!
Thanks Mego! How about that nuclear waste we bury in Nevada? What brand is metal enough to make a radioactive guitar? :)
