Aristides STX6R Purple

Aristides STX6R Purple
Serial Number: 4565
Weight: 8.22 lbs.

The Aristides STX6R in Purple brings a bold raw-finish color to Aristides' one-piece Arium construction, and adds an EverTune bridge and Fishman Fluence pickups. Arium is Aristides' own composite. The body and neck are formed as a single structure, so there's no neck joint to interrupt vibration and no wood to shift with the seasons, which gives the STX6R even resonance, long sustain, and very stable playability. The raw purple finish carries through to a purple headstock with no logo, a clean, understated touch that sets this guitar apart from the usual branded look. It weighs 8.22 lb.

The Arium neck has a C carve (.770" at the 1st fret, .800" at the 12th) with a raw finish that feels natural and fast. The Richlite fretboard's 12" to 16" compound radius is comfortable for chording near the nut and flattens out for low action and wide bends in the upper register, with a 12th fret inlay marking the octave. Twenty-four stainless steel Jescar FW57110 frets play smoothly and hold up for years, over a 25.5" scale with a 1.66" Graphtech TUSQ nut. The one-piece construction gives clear access to the top frets.

The EverTune bridge's constant-tension system keeps every string at pitch through heavy picking, aggressive bends, and changing stage conditions, paired with Hipshot locking tuners in black hardware. Two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers deliver tight, articulate, low-noise tone under high gain. They're controlled by volume and tone knobs and a 5-way blade selector, and the push/pull tone knob switches between Fluence voicings, so you can move from crushing modern rhythm tones to warmer, more open sounds. Whether you're a progressive metal player, a modern rock guitarist who wants a guitar that stays in tune, or a collector looking for a distinctive boutique composite instrument, the Aristides STX6R in Purple stands out (Serial #4565). It includes a deluxe gig bag. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Aristides dealer.
