2019 Aristides 020 Silver Sparkle Burst w/ Lundgren Black Heaven Pickups, Mono Case

Up for sale, a 2019 Aristides 020 in like-new condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original Mono padded case and case candy. Based in Haarlem in the Netherlands, Aristides produces some of the most forward-thinking guitars in the business, a wood-free instrument crafted using a proprietary construction method, developed over years of R&D, comprising a rigid exoskeleton with a resonant core. The instrument is crafted from carefully molded layers of topcoat, glass fiber, and carbon, filled with a custom-made material called Arium, designed to provide resonance, stability, and a lightweight form factor. This particular Aristides 020 features a pair of Lundgren Black Heaven humbuckers and a Silver Sparkle Burst finish.

The proprietary construction results in a notably resonant acoustic response, providing an ideal platform for the pickup pair. The Lundgren Black Heaven humbuckers combine the power, aggression, and tightness of their classic M6 design with a more refined, organic character for increased tonal versatility, yielding focused sounds at the bridge and warm articulation from the Alnico magnet neck position humbucker. Additional features include a push/pull global Coil Tap and two-way toggle that engages the bridge pickup for maximal power. This Aristides 020 weighs 7lbs 12oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
