        The Rightmost blue one is an Aristides 060 FR which is my best guitar while being a wedding present from my wife.
        Aristides are a Dutch Company specialising in modern guitars that are completely devoid of wood.
        They use a mixture of Carbon Fibre, Fibre Glass and a Proprietary composite known as Arium.
        It was purchased used on Reverb for $2700 from a guy based in the Baltimore Maryland Area (new this spec would cost about $4000)
        It’s by far the most expertly crafted and most inspiring I’ve owned despite not being the most comfortable for my personal tastes.
        Specs:
        One Piece Vacuum Molded Arium Neck and Body
        Richlite Fretboard
        24 Stainless Steel Medium Jumbo Jescar Frets
        Bareknuckle Aristides Custom Pickups (based on the Holydiver and Emerald set)
        12-16 inch Compound Fretboard radius
        25.5 inch scale length
        Hipshot Non Locking tuners
        Thin C shape Satin Neck
        Original Floyd Rose
        Schaller Strap Locks
        Luminlay Side Dots
        5 way switch with zero load tone circuit
        Gloss Deep Blue Sky Sparkle Finish
        Setup in D Standard with D’addario 10-52

        Absolutely Killer instrument with tons of low end thump while remaining crystal clear and aggressive.
        It’s a keeper and I’ll never sell it.

        I've been curious about those Aristedes for awhile. It certainly is pretty! I know the build quality on them is generally acknowledged to be great, and the molded ceramic of the bodies is formulated to be toneful.

        A few further questions:
        Is the body resonant when you play it; do you feel it vibrate much or does it keep most of the energy in the strings & neck?
        Necks are wood, right? How lively is this one - singing or relatively stiff? Does it have a few hot spots like most do?
        What does the guitar weigh? and does it balance well?

        Thanks.
