“As a musician having a guitar you can trust to perform in the studio and on the road is mandatory, I knew when I got my Aristides these guitars are one of a kind, innovative and modern like nothing else I have played. There’s no guitar like it, sleek, light and has its own type of resonance. Getting to work hands on with a company that helps spark creativity and imagination is all I can ask for and Aristides delivers.”
