Aristides STX6R Dark Teal

Aristides STX6R Dark Teal
Serial Number: 4566
Weight: 8.16 lbs.

The Aristides STX6R in Dark Teal pairs a deep, moody raw-finish color with Aristides' one-piece Arium construction 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 move with humidity or temperature, which gives the STX6R even resonance, long sustain, and very stable playability. The raw dark teal finish continues onto a matching headstock with no logo, and a raw black pickguard adds contrast. It weighs 8.16 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 quick under your hand. The Richlite fretboard's 12" to 16" compound radius keeps chords comfortable near the nut and flattens out for low action and wide bends up high, and there's an STX inlay at the 12th fret. Twenty-four stainless steel Jescar FW57110 frets play smoothly and last for years, over a 25.5" scale with a 1.66" Graphtech TUSQ nut. The one-piece build gives clear access to the upper frets, and a Hipshot Hardtail bridge and Hipshot locking tuners in black hardware keep the tuning steady.

Two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers deliver tight, articulate, low-noise tone that stays focused under heavy 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 go from punishing modern rhythm tones to warmer, more open sounds. Whether you're a progressive metal player, a modern rock guitarist after a guitar that feels as good as it looks, or a collector looking for a distinctive boutique composite instrument, the Aristides STX6R in Dark Teal is an easy choice (Serial #4566). It includes a deluxe gig bag. Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized Aristides dealer.
