Made in my hometown! Haarlem, The Netherlands 👀 Been to their workshop and I was in a band with a guy that works there. Really innovative company and absolutely worth following since they're growing quickly!
I recently got my 060R from Aristides. I agree 100% with everything fluff said here. they're not cheap instruments, but they are absolutely rock solid. Mine came to me direct from the netherlands, and after a 5,000 mile flight it was IN FUCKING TUNE. OUT OF THE BOX. IN TUNE. blew my mind. I adore my aristides.
I have the 070R with Floyd rose tremelo and Ragnorok pick ups and to this point. Im not sure I would go back to anything else. They make incredible finishes and you can basically add what ever style of pick ups, base type, finish, toggle switching. I love mine for sure, and I would recommend it.
That guitar sounds great for not being wood. Love your videos Fluff. Can’t wait to see you and the guys in Dragged Under on the 24th in Fresno, California
fully agree, I've had PRS/Caparison/Mayones and while those are top notch. My Aristides just have something special with them. My 070 has a set of SD Black Winters and I've never tried a guitar that nails split tones like an actual strat unless it's Fluences or some lower output pickups.
I think I played that exact guitar at our stop in Seattle. He came out to hang out with Kyle from Vitriol. He was a really nice guy, and that guitar played great!
i am completely in love the look of these guitars. the matte finish is *chefs kiss* beautiful. im guessing because they are not made out of wood, it would increase sustainablility and durability, no?
Is this an infomercial? "Popular" guitars? I would describe Fender, Ibanez, etc. as popular. Usually really appreciate the videos. This was disappointing. Didn't mention construction of body or neck other than to say "not wood".
Dustin Brooks $3000 because these are made by a small Dutch company that puts the most insane detail into the craftsmanship of their instruments. so you’re paying for the proprietary material they developed, all the man hours that go into crafting one (they still fret it by hand, paint it with an actual painter, etc), aaaand the euro vs usd difference. about the same price as any custom shop including Fender, Ibanez, Gibson, etc
People pay a lot more for lesser guitars. Considering they are custom made to order and their work is impeccable, it’s not really that much. These are world class instruments. Not exactly a first guitar for sure.
I first got interested in them from Nothing More. And me being a HUGE nothing more fan... I’m very intrigued... and I too love the HomeTeam, my band shared a basement at a house show with them little over a year ago in Colorado.
@@brianb4877 Well, it still has a truss rod, so I am going to say you may still need one. At least the manufacturers don't have the confidence to say you won't
“Like a legit guitar”? Dude, they are some of the finest guitars made. Impeccable work on a very resonant instrument. Amazing guitars. Oh and it’s pronounced Aris-tee-dees. its a common Greek name. Owners usually call them Aris-titties. Yeah we love them that much.
speedriff That’s OK with me and I’m happy to say we’re all good friends in this community. But Aristides is a Dutch company. If you ask a Dutch taxi driver to drive to the Aris-tee-dees company, he will say: “The what company???” The Dutch also say: E-ba-nez. Americans say: Aaiii-ban-neesss to Ibanez. So in Holland we pronounce it that way, that’s why. The way the Dutch say Amsterdam is different than the English pronouncation of the same name of course. So, no problem with that, but someone with a first name Aristides in The Netherlands (the founder of the company for example) listens only to Aris-tee-dèz.
eeepeeegeee yes I know it’s a Dutch company and if you ask a cabby to drive you there, you better have the address. Yeah, I’ve been to the factory. The name is Greek, I don’t care if the Dutch pronounce it wrong. Pascal pronounced it correctly and he owns the company.
Does this guitar not have a truss rod? Also the indentations on the body and headstock look cool for 10 minutes but after that I think I'd rather have a guitar without them. Lastly the back needs a better design in my opinion. The translucent back seems cool but there is so little going on inside the guitar I think that I would prefer just a piece that matches the color of the body to hide the components. I feel like translucent parts need to be justified with led lighting or something like that. Otherwise making it blend into the guitar body would be preferable to me.
I love the duncan alpha omega pickups. 👌 I've had a set in my #1 guitar for a couple years now and I've never had an itch to try anything else since. Side note, that color is sick. I wanna love the guitar but the headstock puts me off.
Am i the only one who thought it was Fluff’s dad who was trying out the guitar?
But he have a daughter lol
Right there with ya man.
Yeah, it's weird when "dad" is younger than I am.
Not only did I think Fluff's dad was going to try the guitar out, I'm legit disappointed he didn't.
Dude wants to start a kink on here where he's the subscribers daddy?
Every demo of these I've seen pronounces this brand differently
Oisin McPhillips Aris-titties 😂
I feel like Fluff contacted the company and asked them.
Oisin McPhillips
Its the piezo of guitar brands
In greek it would be Are- is-TEE-dees
Air-es-tee-dez
At first, I thought Fluff was referring to himself as "dad"
Edit: Oh.
Matching the shirt to the guitar. That's a power move right there.
They both match his purty baby blues 👀

1:17 Fluff with a decent clean tone.. Am I Dreaming?
I recently got my 060R from Aristides. I agree 100% with everything fluff said here. they're not cheap instruments, but they are absolutely rock solid. Mine came to me direct from the netherlands, and after a 5,000 mile flight it was IN FUCKING TUNE. OUT OF THE BOX. IN TUNE. blew my mind. I adore my aristides.
I just placed an order but I am undecided on the 060R or the 060SR, thoughts on multiscale?
I have the 070R with Floyd rose tremelo and Ragnorok pick ups and to this point. Im not sure I would go back to anything else. They make incredible finishes and you can basically add what ever style of pick ups, base type, finish, toggle switching. I love mine for sure, and I would recommend it.
I love how durable they feel. Especially to people who don't really care about fancy tops and all that.
That color thoooooooo +1 for the God called in sick today riff
And his shirt even matches the guitar...
@@clemensmoeller4549 oh yeah you know he planned that haha
The fact that you played deadbolt on this guitar makes me so happy!!!
The quality of your reviews have gotten so much better in the last few months! They're looking great, structure and quality wise
That guitar sounds great for not being wood. Love your videos Fluff. Can’t wait to see you and the guys in Dragged Under on the 24th in Fresno, California
My mans broke out the Thrice and AFI riffs from the early 2000's..HOLLA!
He started playing Deadbolt as I read this comment haha
nobody leave this place without singing the blues!...love that movie! :D
Does Fluff finally have an actual clean tone now?
He's babysitting that too.
I have an Aristides 080s. Best guitar I have ever played! They are totally worth the price.
fully agree, I've had PRS/Caparison/Mayones and while those are top notch. My Aristides just have something special with them. My 070 has a set of SD Black Winters and I've never tried a guitar that nails split tones like an actual strat unless it's Fluences or some lower output pickups.
Caught those Thrice "Deadbolt" and AFI "God Called in SIck Today" licks. NOICE! Those are classic rock now. We're so old.
I think I played that exact guitar at our stop in Seattle. He came out to hang out with Kyle from Vitriol. He was a really nice guy, and that guitar played great!
I caught that old school AFI riff bro! Totally behind that Bub!!!! Heck yeah! Thanks for that, made my day!
Damn been awhile since ive heard God Called In Sick Today.
ITS BEEN AWHILE
@@spartan_xbox7169 Is that supposed to be a Staind joke or a grammar correction?
Nice pulling out that old AFI lick from God Callen in Sick Today. Maaaan that took me back
All the props for the AFI riff my guy.
My favorite videos on your channel is when you review guitars. That way, we get to see guitars we are not familiar with, and we might want to get one.
best guitar in the world! love from a 070 owner
I took an 020 in trade for a Gibson 339 and yeah. I looooove it. The only thing I could say would make it better if if it was an H06 :D
Afi ! Glad to hear you play that
I love that Deadbolt's riff!
yess amazing song
i am completely in love the look of these guitars. the matte finish is *chefs kiss* beautiful. im guessing because they are not made out of wood, it would increase sustainablility and durability, no?
They have a T-style variant coming which looks sick
I think it is available to order now....
just got one and it's amazing, I think for tele fans it retains that vibe.
The colors are on point. I would rock that too.
I definitely want a 070 version.
Aristides looks sick, Heafy uses one alot on his stream. 080 I believe, and I think he's working on a 090
The home team is imo one of the best current pop punk bands
0:33 Goddamn! That's probably the most brutal riff I've ever heard you play!
I'm so glad bright shiny colored super strats are getting cool again.
Is that a Baritone Obsessed shirt?? Hell yeah, Fluff! Keep on rockin! \m/
DUDE!! YOU AND THAT BEAUTIFUL GUITAR ARE BEASTS!! 🤘
"Today on rasputin gear..."
You got that great shirt on again, would love to see more baritone stuff here!
"Don't nobody leave here without singin the blues" Albert Collins in that movie. You forgot to mention that these guitars run around $3000.
Is this an infomercial? "Popular" guitars? I would describe Fender, Ibanez, etc. as popular. Usually really appreciate the videos. This was disappointing. Didn't mention construction of body or neck other than to say "not wood".
Because they use composite materials?? Lolol
@@tjstips808 That's because bolt-on, neck-thru, and set neck construction aren't accurate. They made with various layers in a mold.
Dustin Brooks $3000 because these are made by a small Dutch company that puts the most insane detail into the craftsmanship of their instruments. so you’re paying for the proprietary material they developed, all the man hours that go into crafting one (they still fret it by hand, paint it with an actual painter, etc), aaaand the euro vs usd difference. about the same price as any custom shop including Fender, Ibanez, Gibson, etc
I understand all that. I just wasn't prepared for that high of a price tag.
Thank you for playing AFI
This guitar is parfect looking good for me in every way..
I have the same pickups in my Mark Holcomb signature prs and I love them
That first breakdown you played caused me to damage my nervous system due to being out in public and being unable to headbang
My 11 year old self is FREAKING OUT at that color
...or "Don't tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead"
Very nice baritone obsessed tee you have there fluff!
I love everything about it. I just cant imagine how any guitar could be worth that much money.
#shitpoorpeoplesay

I love that blue finish 💙😍

Mark Holcomb’s alpha & omegas for the win
/m\
Things I didn't know I needed until right now
At first sight in the livestream I thought it had the BKP-Aristides Pickups but now I see it has Duncans. D'oh!
Great matching shirt for that guitar. Never knew you were so fashionable.
Is this brand the cure for setups?
@@brianb4877 Well, it still has a truss rod, so I am going to say you may still need one. At least the manufacturers don't have the confidence to say you won't
When you start playing the clean riff at 1:15- I always think you’re about to play “Stayin’ Alive”
Nice Deadbolt Riff Fluff!!! 4 1/2 out of 5 beards
“Like a legit guitar”? Dude, they are some of the finest guitars made. Impeccable work on a very resonant instrument. Amazing guitars.
Oh and it’s pronounced Aris-tee-dees. its a common Greek name.
Owners usually call them Aris-titties. Yeah we love them that much.
His playing doesn't even come close to doing thay guitar justice.
Actually it’s pronounced Aris-tee-dèz
eeepeeegeee actually, having a good friend who had the name, the end isn’t pronounced “dez” but rather “dees”. He was Greek descent, obviously.
speedriff That’s OK with me and I’m happy to say we’re all good friends in this community. But Aristides is a Dutch company.

What was that at 3:50? It almost sounded like Dirt Room from Blue October but I'm pretty sure it wasn't.
Thats such an eye catching color
Thrice and afi.... great songs!!
Holy shit That preview riff went hard
I've been following them on IG for a while, Each one is amazing. Wish I could afford one.
That.
Thing.
Looks.
Fucking.
KILLER.
love the ENGL! I like everything about the Aristides but the shape of the headstock.
Clean sounded great
That is one beautiful guitar ❤️
My buddy Matt Perrin has a couple of these, his band Angelmaker are killer
Totally fan of the matching Tshirt!
Adventures in babysitting....retro goodness right there!
I've been following aristides guitars on instagram for a while now, cant believe i've only seen a video of this guitar today 😂
Another thrice song in a demo? Gonna have to say i love it
Dad, coffee and riffs.
Now a film major, I had seen that film as a young kid.
What up Fluff, love those fiddles
mayones vs aristides vs strandberg. If you guys could only afford one of these which one would you pick and why?
Adventures in Babysitting the dishes are done man
That tbrice riff though ;)
(Paris voice)
That’s hot.
Does this guitar not have a truss rod? Also the indentations on the body and headstock look cool for 10 minutes but after that I think I'd rather have a guitar without them.

Great Video, it would be cool if you could show off more of the phänomenal sustain of these guitars with some solo sounds.
Interesting guitar. I'm thinking a cable would make a big difference. It has that "wireless" texture to it.
Yeah! Netherlands represent!
U r too cool and funny! 😂Thanks for the great review
Started singing AFI after the demo.
230/ 305 ..totally dig that riff
Hope Aristides can make more affordable guitars in some point, this ones are really lovely from an esthetic and engineering perspective
They have a "raw" series that is closer to $2,500. Same price as an Ibanez Prestige.
God Called in Sick Today 🤘🏼
I CAN'T HELP MY LAUGHTER AS THEY CRY
Get those metalcore riffs. 🤘🤘
Caught that Thrice in there, fluff
I love the duncan alpha omega pickups. 👌 I've had a set in my #1 guitar for a couple years now and I've never had an itch to try anything else since. Side note, that color is sick. I wanna love the guitar but the headstock puts me off.
Brother I know the look and feel the feels! 4:11
exquisite tone
I am getting a 060s tomorrow.
little bit of AFI there. Nice.
God called in sick todayyyyyy!!!!!!!
My Aristides is my heart!
Nice review! Do I pay for a custom or do I buy a new Ibanez?
What Seymour Duncan pickups set was in the guitar?
My guess is the Mark Holcomb signature, I think they’re the only Duncan’s that have black screws. I’m not 100% on that tho
1:50 labels them as the Alpha and Omega, seems like it.
Aren't the Alpha and Omegas the set that Mark Holcomb uses?
I remember like a few years ago you said we won't see any ENGL products on this channel. Is everything cool now?
Great tone wood
