I have always thought of this company as a strictly modern metal shredder guitar, but they make a Telecaster style guitar and it is awesome!
Molding & Curing
Aristides’ proprietary construction method provides huge tonal, durability, & consistency benefits not available elsewhere. This process was developed over years of R&D to comprise of a rigid exoskeleton with a resonant core; the result being reminiscent of chambered guitars. Our luthiers spend 8 hours carefully layering topcoat, glass fibre, carbon, & more in a custom mold to create the exoskeleton before carefully & evenly distributing Arium throughout for our desired tonal characteristics. After the body is acoustically tested, weighed, & approved, it is cured twice in a heated chamber for tone & durability. Of course, at this point all we have is the beginning of a guitar. This is our “wood.” Finally, the real work can begin.
The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.
