Raw

Raw models feature a directly-colored exoskeleton for a shorter build time & reduced cost. Raws are sealed with a nano coating for durability & playability & feature a slightly textured surface. Built by the exact same team to the same high quality standards, Raw-finish Aristides Guitars are striking, dependable workhorses with a unique character all their own.

Painted

Painted finishes are designed & applied in-house by our small dedicated paint team focused on using unique innovations & techniques to create beautiful, toneful finishes that range from elegant solid colors to completely custom from-scratch paint jobs only limited by the client’s imagination.
