    Erik and Pascal are amazing guys! Come on people, this is a very informative video. There's so many talking in other YT-vids for minutes and minutes (unboxing!!!) and in the end saying nothing at all. If you have to feed people saying Oh My God! or Uhmm or Ahmmm in every sentence you have to feed almost the entire western world.
    This company has taken the making of guitars to an scientific level. I've been there several times and besides that, they are always very friendly and acquiescent, it's fantastic to see the way they're approaching the art of manufacturing guitars. Always open to a new angle of incidence, doing beautiful paintings, different pickups, special fretboards, etc.
    In my life I've been in lots of factories of all kinds of disciplines, but this one is one of the very few that are really devoted from the first minute till the last to all of their products. Not trying to sell thousands of guitars monthly, but steady going into the future.

    Just got my 060 and it's one of the best guitar I've ever played. I have a Mayones, Ernie Ball Majestys, PRS CU24, Kiesel, American Strat and have owned over 150 ohter guitars. Thank you so much for the inside look and a high quality product.

    • @Tiger1016.
      @Tiger1016. 3 роки тому

      Curious if the strongly positive sentiments, especially regarding tone, have continued to remain 2 years later. I just picked up a 020 that will be delivered in a week. Am hoping to love the tone in comparison to the various PRS and Kiesels that I currently own (core CU24, SC594, and Hollowbody II with maple neck and board, and an Aries A6E with sh body and maple neck and board). It will obviously be different, just hopefully in a pleasant and soulful way. Want it to work so bad because of the apparent tuning stability and honestly the large swimming pool cavity on the back, which gives me all of the space I have ever wanted for some elaborate wiring schemes.

    • @ZackSeifMusic
      @ZackSeifMusic 3 роки тому +1

      @@Tiger1016. So admittedly I no longer own Aristides guitars as I just prefer my PRS and Musicman guitars. The 060 plays super well and has a great look and feel. Tone wise I just prefer what I know. The 020 I have no experience with but my friends love them. Very comfy.

    Meanwhile in the United States, Gibson charges $11,000 for a model that is over half a century old, made almost exactly like the guitar model they still charge an arm and a leg for in 2016 and then rough it up a little bit and oh my god, low and behold the Gibson Custom True Historic 1959 Les Paul....

    @jameskeyes1131 4 роки тому

    I'm an engineer and am very impressed with the process. These guitars are so unusual and look cool. The shape with the indents is something different from the normal flat surface of plywood body guitars. Look modern and are extremely stiff compared to wooden ones. Having the neck be an integral part of the instrument means no problems with stiffness and constant tightening. Seem to be very well made with much money invested in tooling. These people aren't fooling around. They seem to have lots of orders. Hope they do well.

    2)How will anchor affect fingerboard? is it flexible enough?
    3)Did he touched his penus? 21:14
    4) Is there any garantee on them?
    5)Are they balanced? will the neck dive?
    must say they r super sexy, need to check the sound

    • @Poepopdestoep
      @Poepopdestoep 6 років тому +2

      Never heard of a Aristides neck breaking, fretboard is richlite these days, so no open grain, very stable material. Anchor? You mean the trusrodd? Adjustable just like any guitar. Yes he did touch it ;) Garantee, you'll have to check with Aristides themselves. They are balanced, no neck dive whatsoever, even with the 8 string inline headstock. Check out Ihsahn, monuments, periphery, delain, nothing more, end many many others that are using aristides guitars.

    • @mcrekkr
      @mcrekkr 8 років тому +1

      All cords. You essentially look at a 8 string the same way as you would any other 6 string but with an extra low B and F# or if you want to make it easier when you play bar cords tune the F# down to a E.

    • @TheRealFoxeR

      You're welcome. Not without effect pedals, no. The active pickups have fewer wounds on their coils and a pre-amp (which is where the battery is for).
      I think you are confusing it with a piezo pickup (which sounds more or less like an acoustic).

      johnnypk1963 I'd say titanium frets haven't been used yet because of how hard they'd be to work with.

      There is absolutely no way you wear through frets in 18 months. I've seen some guitars from the 80s that were played every day but still had playable nickel frets

      @@athmaid I can wear out the Frets on
      a cheap Ibanez RG in only 9 months.... I did it twice when I transferred to electric guitar and bought cheap second hand ones, with the flattest fretboards to get started . They got worn out enough to make the instrument become unplayable and very out of tune.
      My Shawn Lane Vigier has Stainless steel frets, with a completely flat fretboard and I have had it for nearly five years, and there are a couple of spots with very minor wear that need attention soon. And I have the hint of a buzz also on one fret up high.
      I think that I wear out softer frets very quickly because I was classically trained, and can't help playing every note with a miniature little vibrato, like I did playing classical for many thousands of hours... well that's the best guess of my friends and the guy who is currently building me a Guitar with True Temperament Frets... Stainless steel of course! It will also have an Evertune Bridge as I'm getting rather old and fed up with wasting time on tuning!
      PostScript...I know exactly when bought my Ibanez RG350MZ.... during February 2017 Ibanez released loads of instruments to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the guitar they first released with Steve Vai . There was a warehouse full of the cheap things for only
      ... £150 - £200, mine was £180 .
      I had demolished the frets on an RG already, but didn't know enough yet about guitars to decide which "proper" guitar to buy, and liked the flatness of Ibanez. I'm disabled and can't drive, which made the process take even more time.
      I tried just about every electric guitar you could think of including Ibanez that must have had stainless steel frets...some of the more notable ones that I liked where Musical Man (one of the John Pettrucci ones) and PRS, and a Suhr.
      I was eventually swayed by the flat, classical style, fretboard of the Vigier, AND the fact that it's got a big chunk of carbon fibre instead of a truss rod. This neck isn't going to move, and I guess Shawn Lane picked Vigier because he spent a lot of time in India. I bought the Vigier in November 2017 and the frets on the RG350MZ built in 2011, were so bad since I started playing it in February 2017 , that it wasn't worth spending the money on it to sell it on. It was taken apart and its parts were sold off on my niece's kid's eBay of all places...I have no Idea how that works.
      The RG I had before that was an Ibanez GRG270B , a much cheaper model from 2009. But, there was something about the profile and feel of the neck that I really liked, much more than the Wizard neck on the latter Ibanez. I still have it because of this, and the Luthier who embarked on designing and building my new guitar, along with myself designed the neck of my new guitar to have some similarities kind of crossed with my Vigier neck. It's taken time, he's Very busy, but it is almost finished. It will be ready in September this year, so it's taken nearly a year, which is not too long .
      Post-postscript. I was thinking of how many Hours that I might have played the RG350MZ from Feb 2017 to Nov 2017 and being a much older person, it's not like the amount I used to maybe, but I can still play all day long . And when I play on metal strings I much prefer as light as possible, which, when combined with my techniques, might contribute to excessive wear. I don't know really? Because I am very immobile, and one of the few things that still works on my body is my hands so I still play a lot of guitar(only electric because they can't cope with classical anymore) ....I always improvise along with anything I watching online, TV and most music I listen to, even when I'm watching a movie with my wife in the evening I am still playing. So I might actually play for more hours than I used to when I was studying classical guitar on a formal basis in the eighties . Blah blah blah
