Considering Aristides offers a huge amount of pickups, having a comparison with some of them, divided by guitar shape, will be really great and a source of inspiration for future builds 🤓
Before making my Aristides 060R review, I wanted to get all the info. This Factory Tour should be an example to all those companies when it comes to detail, vision and openness. I absolutely loved it! If I ever have the chance and resources to order my custom Aristides, it’ll be a complete joy and I’ll knew that the utmost attention to detail will be given to my order! Thank you for this very detailed tour!
It’s amazing how every make of pickups, bridges, frets, nut, even STRINGS, are exactly what I’d offer if I had a guitar company. State of the art, no compromises- so refreshing.
Extremely satisfied customer. These guys can pretty much make anything happen. If you're in the market for a custom guitar, it's seriously worth it!!!! Best guitars on planet earth.
@@AristidesInstruments Your guitars are absolutely stunning! I build my own guitars and my home. From either wooden kits, or I buy the necks and bodies separately and build them myself as well or I modify Guitars that I buy inexpensive and make them really nice. I have some videos on my page. I just don’t have a woodshop at home to build them from scratch. And I’m a woman, and I don’t have enough time to do that anyways, lol! But I did want to point something out in your video. You mentioned that Jescar Fretwire made in the United States. It is indeed an American company, and you do buy them from them here in America out of New York, but they are indeed manufactured in Germany. I just thought you might like to know that. I hope you’re having an amazing day! ☮️💜😊
personalizzati ma non nella forma dei corpi,,,solo due stampi ,,solo due forme,,non propio originali nel disegno ,credo che siano strumenti fantastici ma nella linea monotona.
Proud customer and Aristides Artist here, I’m consistently impressed with the craftsmanship and engineering behind their guitars. This factory tour offers a great look at how each aspect of their guitars is carefully designed and crafted. I've found Aristides guitars to be incredibly resonant, comfortable to play, and highly reliable in terms of tuning stability and intonation. I own five of them and they're just an absolute joy to play every single time. If you're looking for something innovative and well-built, they’re definitely worth considering!
I was lucky enough to take the tour this summer. Massive thanks to Pascal and the rest of the team for taking the time to show me around. The guitars are impeccable and the sustain is unlike anything I've ever played. I'm still trying to decide what specs to go for, haha.
wow, that was really an amazing factory tour, i´m so happy and proud of all the heart (and hard) work you put in your guitars, as a very proud owner of 6 aristides instruments guitars so far, i can only confirm how amazing your instruments are! much love to whole team!
So stoked for my build to reach the next step!!!! I know it’ll be worth the wait!! No one touches these guys when it comes to customer experience and communication!
Thank you for the tour. When I’m ready to order one of those beauties I’ll save you from hustle of the shipping - happen to live 1 km from the factory 😀
Can say the people at Aristides are a pleasire to deal with. Knowing my gear was made with love and passion makes me value it so much more. Can't wait to receive my sr070!
Best instruments ever. I have two, and I’ve never been more comfortable discussing prospective builds than with these super nice Dutch gentlemen. I encourage anyone interested to hit these guys up.
Hi, I'm Joe from Japan. I love you so much. I'm happy to see your beautiful products in videos. However, it has become difficult to get Aristides guitars in Japan.Because the distributor has changed, in order to get your products in Japan, we have to pay 1.4 to 1.8 times as much as before. And judging from the sales prices in other countries, I think this extra money is going to this greedy distributor Of course, we understand that there are various business benefits to using distributors, but the situation in Japan is crazy. (we would rather pay extra to a great manufacturer like you than pay the distributor). We are waiting for this situation to change. Much love to you all.
What sold me on the bass I bought from you , when I visited the factory many years ago, was the main result of using Arium as apposed to wood. You are highlighting the looks rather than the amazing everlasting sustain or dead stop of a note that was achieved when sounding a note. Also the fact that in extreme cold or heat weather situations Arium, as opposed to wood, did not change!
Nice informative vid. I love this Dutch guitar company for their innovation, craftsmanship and customer interaction. I wish the team all the best for the future!
Best guitar I own :) awesome instruments and the guys take so much care during the whole process. Ordering was the best customer service every, you get an response within a few hours and they make everything possible ❤
I have two, an 070SR, and an 070S Trem. Was lucky enough to visit the factory in January this year, Tim showed us around, everyone was super chilled and we had a great time! Absolutely amazing guitars, I don't need anything else... oh I mean apart from an 070S with multi-scale evertune. 😏
Very cool guitars!! I have never heard of Aristides before. I am blown away! Welcome to the future. Who needs wood? Since it is not made of wood I bet once you set up the neck it must never change right? Do they warp over time or during certain temp conditions? This guitar seems like it will be immortal! I would love to buy a T series!
I love your innovation and your modern materials. Contrary to popular belief (and some prominent guitar company owners), guitars do NOT need to be made out of wood to look and sound great. You and Emerald in Ireland (on the acoustic side) are at the forefront of guitar building. Very cool - I hope to own one someday. EDIT - I LOVE Richlite fretboards...I have 3 guitars with Richlite and have commissioned a custom 8-string with Richlite. A fantastic modern material.
I've heard only excellent things about these guitars and basses!! Saw Timo Somers and Barend Courbois use them, and their guitars / basses (respectively) are NEVER dull. There's a really musical focus to their sound, plenty resonance and sustain for days... I would absolutely love to design my own multiscale one day - although first I need to thin the musical "herd" to create the financial wriggle room... From what I've seen: Yes, they're not cheap. But worth every cent.
still really trying to save up for a 070R with an evertune, love to see the production progress, and i might be abled to vist the factory if that possible, im also dutch :)
Awesome! If you ever want to swing by to see the shop in person and try some guitars, just send us an email on sales@aristidesinstruments.com and we'll set it up! :)
After watching most of the video, I had to pause and check, one thing: Does Aristides make Left-Handed guitars. Yes, you do. What a relief... I will need to think for a while (and allocate funds for a while) about what I would want in a custom guitar with so many options. I like that you've made a guitar sans the wood though because lumber is finite...and music should not be, especially guitar music. I also like that you do regular and multiscale guitars, headless and headed guitars, and have like every bridge as an option. I am looking to get an Evertune on my next guitar and see that you have them (even in multiscale!) as an option. Very nice tour, great looking facility. Seems like a bunch of solid people, great craftsman and artists... I'd expect nothing less from the Dutch 😎
Iff you talk about green guitars, (not about the colour) this arium made guitars are my number one to go! I have tree of em and need nothing else from 1994 till now on! The stainless frets are like new, but i play 4 times a week..... ♨️😊
1:05 I got no sleep last night and as a result of my depravity I’m currently snickering at the black shapes on the table. How’s your afternoon going? 😂
Great tour! Incredible how detailed you showed it to us. Thank you! I don't really dig the cavities in the body. So I wouldn't buy one. But some of the paint results look really great and the fretboard material looks very promising.
I absolutely love the H/06, which is the only Aristides I’ve played (and, if I’m honest, the only one I want). I was wondering if you would use other colors of Richlite - there’s one, called the Columbia, that Richlite sell as a fingerboard. It has a pale moon ebony kind of a vibe, when sanded.
For what you get, and all of the options available, I think it's the best deal out there for the money, the only thing that makes me hesitate is not glueing the frets.
8:28 Why is guitar resonance a concern when magnetic transducer pickups are used? Does this mean the magnetic transducers are also microphonic, and Arium's acoustic resonance properties play a role in the overall sound profile?
What kind of in-depth videos would you like to see from us in the future? Thanks for all of your comments, everyone!
I would like to see more about how you developed the multiscale Evertune bridge in conjunction with Evertune.

The return off Wilkenson trems...... 🥳
@@EnomisTheGremlin We do have some pickup videos on our channel already if you're curious! - Paul
That may be the best-looking version of a Telecaster that I've ever seen
Thank you!

Aristides guitars make forever guitars. Unparalleled work.
This was awesome. Thank you for opening up your factory to the world. Super cool to see the whole process
"This wraps up the quick overview of Aristides" He says @ 43:30. Sir, some of us have ADHD. You had me at Hello.
"Maybe one day" type of instrument, huh? They are so beautiful and I hope to one day have the privilege of playing one of these! 🤘🤪👍
I feel incredibly fortunate to own one of these amazing instruments. ❤
Had the amazing pleasure of working on these guitars while teching on tour! Truly amazing instruments and superb build quality!

Still so happy to be part of this family! Been exclusively playing Aristides since 2018 simply because there's nothing that compares to it
Great factory full of great people, so glad I got the chance to visit y'all, Much love guys!
Great Video Guitars and Work! 👍👍
So stoked for my build to reach the next step!!!! I know it’ll be worth the wait!! No one touches these guys when it comes to customer experience and communication!
I liked the tour. I really like the look of the guitars! I like that you can basically do anything as far as the looks of the guitar goes. 👍
I have 2 Aristides (080S with BKPs, 060 with Evertune and Lundgren pickups), and they're phenomenal.
Thank you for the tour. When I’m ready to order one of those beauties I’ll save you from hustle of the shipping - happen to live 1 km from the factory 😀

Dooooood...was just looking at guitars on your site yesterday and you put this video out...maybe it's an omen!!! Maybe it's time!!!
Can’t wait to meet y’all next saturday! Best guitars ever!
VERY cool to see the ins and outs of how these beautiful guitars are made!
Easily among the pinnacle of most impressive companies building extremely high quality instruments

I must have watched this video a dozen times in hopes that mine will get finished sooner🤣I can't wait!!!
Love the passion that you guys have for your craft, one day I hope to have my own Aristides guitar.
I’m finally a grown up and can buy one of these soon 😂 these guitars were my childhood dream.
Super cool update on the build process! I am looking forward for my next one to arrive 🤘
Definitely great job, keep it going, awesome guitars☺️🙏🏻✨
Bro, always wondered what happened with you Guys 🤔 glad to have update on the fantastic work the team has been putting out there.
Killer tour. Thank you!
This is awesome
Awesome video. Thanks for the hard work
Saving for my first Aristides rn :)
I can't wait to pickup my build in a years time. Counting down every day.
I always wanted to try out these beasts! Hopefully it will happen at Guitar Summit in few weeks!
We'll be there with a booth and hope to see you there!!
best paint jobs in the industry!
Im a new fan of these. Looking forward to make a custom one!
These look amazing
This was absolutely amazing to watch from start to finish! ❤
awesum! cant wait to get my build going!
Great tour! Maybe someday I'll get my hands on an Aristides... until then, a subscribe will have to do.
Amazing, I hope I will have 1 someday
That luminlay has me hooked 😮
Guitars of the choicest quality. Never found a fault with any of mine. Great tones and comfortable necks.
Enjoyed this! Being in the UK the build process looks like the one that was used when Status did solid composite basses.
I build with wood but incorporate modern materials. I love what you guys do and I think the guitars look really great.
What a beautiful video 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! There's more where that came from! - Paul
you guys rocks!
awesome ♥
That kintsugi paint test looked sick
Awesome Guys!!!!
Thank you Einar Solberg for the long awaited tour update!
I am honored to hear that Kratos was involved with guitar Lamination.
the most beautiful guitars of 2024 are here
30:34 THAT JPM PICASSO FINISH IS MY DREAM
I can't wait for my custom 070 to be completed, purple/red chameleon finish, and a 12th fret sleep token inlay
i. can't. wait.
I would LOVE to own an Aristides guitars one day.

Hell yes boys!
Tonight’s entertainment sorted!
One day I'll have her 🎉
One of the guitar players in my band has a t-style Aristides and he loves it. I wish there were some other single cut designs.
I've heard only excellent things about these guitars and basses!! Saw Timo Somers and Barend Courbois use them, and their guitars / basses (respectively) are NEVER dull.
There's a really musical focus to their sound, plenty resonance and sustain for days...
I would absolutely love to design my own multiscale one day - although first I need to thin the musical "herd" to create the financial wriggle room...

The T series in 7 string with 22 frets 27" scale with a Fishman Modern in the bridge and a fishman single in the neck would be awesome.
Order one then 😉
i can only watch in envy and hope i can afford one of these someday lol

When I saw the molds my first thought was "huh, I really wonder how they pour the wood into those molds"
1:05 I got no sleep last night and as a result of my depravity I’m currently snickering at the black shapes on the table. How’s your afternoon going? 😂
21:37 STUCK! 😂
It super car factory ❤
Would love to see a V, or an offset V shape someday. I’d buy one of those in a heartbeat!
Great tour! Incredible how detailed you showed it to us. Thank you!
I don't really dig the cavities in the body. So I wouldn't buy one. But some of the paint results look really great and the fretboard material looks very promising.
I fucks with the Roland Cube in the background
At 40.09, on the chameleon with gold binding, thats circular gallifreyan on the fretboard, right? Way cool :)
Ik ben gefascineerd door de Nederlandse fabricage van gitaren.
Need my sparkly 080s now lol

캬 곧이구나 곧 오더를 넣을시간이
