NAMM 2010: Adrian Vandenberg For Aristides Guitars

Very cool guitars. I want one.

I'm not really sure about these. wouldn't your sound lose warmth with this wood?

where's the guitar? this was a total waste of time

It's not wood!!!! It's a ceramic compound that has a similar molecular structure to wood but resonates FAR FAR better. It actually increases the amount of sustain (acoustic) that the guitar has, as well as giving clear crisp notes. No lack of warmth. Go look up the guitar on their website, you can find out more about them there. They have a product video as well.

go to www.artisidesinstruments.com to find out more about them. There's alot of science mumbo-jumbo stuff where they explain what "arium" is and everything which is ok to know I guess. The product video and specs are really what I was concerned about when I was checking this thing out. Just go over the specks for the 010 and the video.

Adrian is such a perv...

Adje is the perfect guy for pushing this guitar. He's never endorsed anything in his life and throughout the years he's made a couple of decisions which obviously weren't in the best interest of his career (or his wallet) but he still made them because he knew that's what would make him happy

If this brand doesn't get off the ground I hope these guys are smart enough to sell the concept to other guitar companies, because there's a lot of good manufacturing ideas which aren't making their way to our homes because the creators are too stubborn to realize that they don't know how to run a company, because sadly enough knowing how to make a good instrument ain't all there is to this branch

And please don't sell this company to Gibson, 'cause if you look at what they're killing the Steinberger brand... makes me wanna cry
