“When I was first in the market for an Aristides, I was enamored by all their different finish options. But when I finally got to play one, I fell in love with the craftsmanship and care that went into their instruments. Aristides offers a guitar with zero compromises and unparalleled attention to detail. From tuning stability to build quality to unique paint options, Aristides guitars provide an unmatched playing experience and an unbelievably reliable tool of expression.”

Bio
Craft music that resonates deeply and leaves a lasting Impact- that’s the mission of Costa Maitoglou. Born within the vibrant music scene of Monmouth County, New Jersey, Costa was quick to establish himself. At just 12 years old, Costa was already playing at local clubs and venues throughout Jersey, having picked up the guitar just a few years prior. Knowing music is what he wanted to pursue professionally, his passion and relentless drive guided him towards Berklee College of Music, where he honed his craft and graduated in 2025 with a degree in Independent Recording & Production.
Blending technical prowess with emotional intensity, Costa delivers a unique voice to modern guitar work. In 2021, he founded the metalcore band Archon Theory, pushing the boundaries between aggression and beauty. The band’s debut EP, A Place Devoid of Love, dropped on August 24, 2024, earning praise for its raw emotion.
Continuing to evolve, Archon Theory released their latest single, “Garrote,” on July 11, 2025—a darker, heavier track that marks a new chapter in Costa’s musical journey.
