r/Aristides

Are these colored strings or is this lighting? Can't seem to find anything like it.

Aristides guitars are located and manufactured in the Netherlands.

They are a small, innovative and cutting-edge custom shop brand. The bodies and necks are made from a one-piece glass fiber & carbon composite material which Aristides calls 'Arium'.

 

Manufacturer's description:

>"The Aristides Standard Series are [...] both fueled by advanced design innovations & crafted with the intense attention to detail of traditional guitar building. A huge variety of pickup, hardware, & finish options tailor the instrument to your exact preferences & playing style. Its comfortable neck, amazing upper fret access, & elegant body carves quickly made it a favorite among discerning guitarists [...] The Aristides Standard Series is [...] the best value way to experience the benefits only available from one-piece Arium construction.
> >The 060 is our favourite model to hand to a player who wants to try one of our guitars for the first time. It’s like meeting an old friend that got some new upgrades. [...] The neck is a perfect “Goldilocks” profile that everyone seems to fall in love with. [...] Also available left-handed, as well as baritone."

Once Mick Gordon and Fredrik collaborated on an industrial metal track for the Wolfenstein: The New Order - their only one together in that style. So this is my fantasy of what "Sum" by Meshuggah would sound like with a similar vibe 🌚
