Aristides 070 Custom | Bronze Oxidized

This Custom Aristides 070 in Bronze Oxidized finish is one of the most unique extended-range guitars on the market—combining Arium construction, cutting-edge hardware, and an ultra-rare oxidized metal finish for players who want something truly exceptional. Built around the iconic 070 platform, this model features a 26.5" scale length for perfect tension in low tunings, making it ideal for modern metal, progressive, and technical players who demand stability and clarity.

The Bronze Oxidized finish is what sets this instrument apart. Aristides creates this look through a multi-stage metallization process: a thin layer of real metal particles is applied to the Arium body, the guitar is submerged in a chemical bath to oxidize the surface, then hand-sanded to reveal the rich bronze layer beneath. A protective nano coating seals the patina, ensuring long-term durability while keeping the feel smooth and clean. The result is a dramatic, industrial, one-of-a-kind aesthetic—no two oxidized finishes will ever look alike.

This build is also equipped with premium hardware upgrades, including a Hipshot Contour tremolo, Hipshot locking tuners, and a factory-installed Schaller Sure-Claw. The Sure-Claw is a significant addition—it allows for precise, effortless spring tension adjustment and improves tremolo stability under heavy use. For players who rely on accurate tuning and a responsive trem system, this is a major performance advantage over traditional claw setups.

The modern offset dot inlays add a clean, minimalist touch that complements the guitar’s futuristic-meets-artisanal vibe. And as with every Aristides, you get unmatched resonance, consistency, and reliability thanks to their proprietary Arium construction.

If you're looking for a custom Aristides 070 that stands out visually and sonically—perfect for low tunings, high-gain clarity, and progressive playing styles—this Bronze Oxidized 070 is a rare opportunity. A premium extended-range guitar with museum-grade aesthetics and world-class playability.
