News:Aristides Instruments Designer reveals “Arium”

Meet Aristides Poort. The Dutch Civil Engineer responsible for taking the guitar world by storm with the Design of the OIO guitar, and the development of Arium.

Mr. Poort has been hard at work for decades immersed in guitar design for those of you who are hearing his name for the first time. Mr Poort is the man responsible for “Catalyst Guitars” a ceramic guitar line that raised some eyebrows and peeked the interest most notably of Vernon Reid.

Mr. Poort quickly realized that it would take more than ceramic guitars with a sales pitch of a “wood alternative guitar”. He would need a material with great resonance, sustain and lots of research. This was a 15-year journey of developing a material that would have perfect acoustic properties and he had the Technical University of Delft along the way.

Aristides has caught the attention of many guitar players including: Bert Meulendijk, Erik Rutjes, Ward Veenstra, Magnus Tveiten, and Legendary Whitesnake guitarist/composer Adrian Vandenberg.

Mr. Poort took some time to fill in the gaps for those who are still unsure of what arium is.

Aristides instruments reputation for great sustain, resonance and craftsmanship is growing as well as its dealer network. Customguitarboutique.com is proud to join the Aristides instruments family. more
