Offered here is an exceptionally rare Aristides 070 Custom
This guitar was originally built for Misha Mansoor during the early Aristides chapter of his career, & stands as a genuinely special piece from that period. Beyond being a striking custom build, it carries ties to a formative stretch in modern progressive metal, with use connected to the Periphery III and Juggernaut sessions. It can also be seen in Remain Indoors: The Making of Select Difficulty on YouTube.
Out of the many Aristides instruments I’ve come across, this one is a standout. The combination of spec choices, finish, & pickup layout makes it feel unlike the typical 070. A 7-string loaded with three single coils is a wild configuration on paper, but in practice it gives this guitar a voice that is articulate, aggressive, glassy, punchy, & far more versatile than most extended-range builds.
Condition is excellent, & it presents as a serious collector-grade piece that is still absolutely usable for a player who wants something inspiring, uncommon, & historically significant.
Specs:
Aristides 070 Custom
26.5" scale length
Blue/Green Chameleon finish
Satin neck back
Bare Knuckle Trilogy Suite bridge pickup
Bare Knuckle Mother’s Milk middle pickup
Bare Knuckle Mother’s Milk neck pickup

Early-era artist-associated Aristides build
