"I want ballsy low end, I want clear highs. I want cutting midrange, I want broadness. This was never possible in one single guitar until Aristides found a way to do it: Arium. Add insane playability, stability and swag and you have the perfect guitars."
Timo Somers
Timo Somers, Ayreon, Supersonic Revolution
"It’s no secret I’ve had an obsession with Arium for a long time now, and I always reach for it while recording especially. It’s played a major role in creating my bands sound, and I feel that the material offers something very special, and unique, sonically. The prospect of recording with my usual go to’s, plus this Arium bass opens up a whole new world of possibilities, and I cannot wait to get it in my hands!"

About the T – Style
The Aristides T/0 T-Style guitar is the ergonomic, tonally balanced custom guitar of choice for players looking for a comfortable neck, rich sustain, & 22 frets. T/0 is explicitly designed to not only advance a classic singlecut with Aristides’ trademark design philosophy & attention to detail but is also based on customer feedback & artist requests to create a versatile platform with all-new specifications for Aristides & the largest array of customization available on any Aristides model. T/0’s slightly larger Aristides neck profile & 10-14″ compound radius quickly made it a fan-favorite among rock & traditional players, with its 22 frets providing chimey, harmonically rich neck position tone. A slightly deeper body balances comfortably, contributes to a fat, clear sound, & is perfectly suited to an EverTune bridge. 6 bridges, the highest number of pickup options, choice of pickguard, multiple control layouts, & more all contribute to T/0’s position as both a unique feeling & sounding Aristides model & as a sonic chameleon that can be tailored to your exact needs as a player. Whether you’re a long time fan of T-Style guitars, or considering your options for high-performance modern instruments, T/0 combines the best strengths of highly-skilled traditional luthiery with the tonal & durability benefits only available from one-piece Arium construction.
What is Arium?
All Aristides instruments are made using a proprietary material called ‘Arium.’ Not only is Arium tonally balanced with rich sustain, it is incredibly stable – all of our guitars are built with an integrally-layered exoskeleton & resonant Arium core. The end result is not only a sustainable instrument that will last a lifetime – but also a guitar built to the highest quality standards by a team of dedicated luthiers. Click below to learn more!
