ARISTIDES / 010 Classic White

The 010 is a new generation guitar made with the new material Allium. It has a body resonance comparable to a Stradivarius, a sensitive picking response that allows the player to freely control the tone at will, and an astonishingly long sustain. ""The 010 is better than any model I've played so far. It's the best guitar ever,"" says Adrian Vandenberg.

""From the solid lows to the sharp highs, the sound is smooth and unobstructed. It's a reliable guitar. I'm looking forward to using it more and making it a part of my body."" - Ichiro Tanaka

""What's particularly noteworthy is the sense of pitch and resonance. It's a wonderful guitar with a very natural feel, and you wouldn't even notice it's made of new materials. I use it a lot for live performances and recordings."" - Koichi Korenaga

*Compound radius
This refers to a fingerboard finish that gradually increases the radius from the low to the high positions. The low position radius is set to the same as a regular electric guitar to emphasize grip. The high position radius is increased and closer to flat, eliminating sound cutting and choking when bending.
