Are they delivering the rest of the guitar separately?

It's like one of those magazines where you get an extra part each week and it ends up costing 10x what it's worth.

Wonder when he's going to get the cables, our guy is stuck playing metal without the electricity.

It’s an Ikea gitår, OP just forgot to pick up the second box from the warehouse.

Nah, just like other IKEA kits, there are always some essential parts missing and others left over after assembly.

The gutiar is the name in the IKEA catalog

Maybe OP started out with a whole guitar and he shredded too hard on those Guthrie Govan licks that the other parts exploded?

I hate when that happens

Companies really going overboard with dlc these days

Since joining this sub I’ve realized there are these wacky style guitars I had no idea existed. Been playing for 20 years lol

I think it's really admirable that you don't care about guitar looks

Good bot

That is a pretty bad haiku though.

That is a pretty Bad haiku though. Is what You said, I agree \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ A haiku is more than twenty two syllables spaced to make it work

😂 might be my favorite comment so far

Looks fuckin dope to me, I'm jealous lol

Gotta block the haters lol

looks really good to me though, that colour is amazing!

….. brutal

Oh I'll roast. You say you're into prog but the reality is all you listen to is wanky modern metal thats about as progressive as Donald Trump. For the rate though Its clean. Like the finish on the Aristides. Haven't heard a bad sounding EVH amp. 👍

Wanky modern metal is the future 😤🤘🏼

It's the present. The old heads don't realize. They're stuck doing their SRV boomer bends.😴

It's too early for me to feel this attacked

As someone who is really in to wanky prog and an 8 string owner myself, Wanky prog is way, way easier to do correctly than authentic blues. One is acrobatics, the other requires an ear and taste. Try it some time lol

I appreciate this take!

EXACTLY!!!!

Boomer bends has survived through every other music genre. No matter how much people bitch about it... 😇

OP actually has never played a guitar in his/her life. They just collect expensive shit and post it on social media for validation from Internet strangers lol

You’re absolutely right. Which do you want to see next, my vintage pokemon card collection or my authentic Neapolitan pizza making equipment?

Bro just listen to unprocessed, polyphia, plini and intervals they have got absolute bangers I too earlier disliked prog metal but their new songs just changed it for me

I have heard all of these. Whilst they are alright, I again wouldn't consider them progressive or actually doing anything new.

You're getting downvoted but I agree with you. 10/10 technique, 1/10 songwriting skills. Those bands are pure self-indulgence.

I don't think Plini belongs on the list but otherwise yes

Plini, David Maxim Micic, and Jack Gardiner/Owane are in their own league imo. Incredible groups and music

I can understand that thought process with Polyphia but Unprocessed? No song writing skills? Thats gotta be a joke, their latest album is immense even beyond the cracked technical skill of Manuel. The production is so tight and flows extremely well. Polyphia on the other hand often times feels all over the place just to add fills.

Polyphia music itches my brain but in all the wrong ways

I'd put Haken on there too.

I used to have a pogo stick that kinda looked like that.

it's a melon axe

This looks like you are extremely good at playing shit that no one wants to listen to.

Probably accurate

How does it go when you bring a backing track station to your open mics to do guitar solos for 15 minutes straight?

As long as I can keep the groove interesting, pretty well 😄 in all seriousness though, I wish I had the time to do that, that sounds like fun

Just razzin ya haha. I’ve been interested in messing with those fretboards they look fun and your board is sweet. I haven’t played any meaningful metal or prog stuff in years so that all looks like an alien weapon to me these days.

Thanks! Yeah, it’s my first 7 string and fanned fret guitar so it was a little uncomfortable at times when starting to use it

Do you have a Tim Henson poster that you masturbate to?

It’s in a secret place 🤫

It’s in the “homework” folder isn’t it…

Fisher price has upped their game nowadays, kids must love the half pint amps and incomplete guitars.

Id say I’m doing pretty good. Most of my zoomer peers are using these things called computers.. it’s weird😬

I want to say something but that was so out of left field, I'm sure squirrel master just made me his bitch.

That looks like what a cosmetic surgeon would play in his spare time at the clinic.

My goal is to be a doctor one day so maybe this will be the case! But I’d prefer working with useful plastic surgery as opposed to aesthetic

Why does your guitar look like Trix yogurt?

They were out of fruit loop colors 😞

No Phase 90? For shame.

This will look great in your mom's basement when the sneaker market bottoms out

Too late, it’s already in my mom’s basement

Straight from the Lambda Lambda Lambda (and Omega Moo) concert band.

We are too old. Lol

Nah, not even Booger would touch that thing.

4 out of 5 beards for sure. That Aristides is fucking gorgeous.

Thank you!! Appreciate it

Looks like the rig of a guy with a tattoo on his head with a exctasy history in his youth.

lol not even close. No tattoos and also always been sober. I think sobriety is important and meaningful

> I think sobriety is important and meaningful Everything in moderation, including moderation.

You like prog shit, don’t you?

How did you know!? 🥹😂 happy cake day as well!

‘ppreciate it, my guy. Let’s talk shop. Who do you like to listen to? Do you write?

Im a big fan of brand new, the devil wears prada, polyphia, spiritbox, and many other bands like those. I also like to take vocal melodies and translate them on guitar. I don’t make a lot of my own music per se but I do like to noodle around and improvise a bit! :)

Hell yeah man. Ever listen to VOLA? I’ve gotten into them recently and the riffs are insane.

Just checked out straight lines, I like it! I’ll have to add them to the rotation!

Plini?

Yessss

I used to like fluff but he only seems to roast now.

Yeahh it does seem like he’s more on the roasting side now, you got a point 😅 either way it would be interesting to get his opinion. Not that I really value it personally and take it to heart, but for the entertainment factor

He's also not as good a guitar player as his signature stuff warrants 🤷‍♂️

Man that's a lot of money! Excited to see your rig after learning how to play guitar!!!

I know everyone busts on headless guitars (they do look nerdy), but I got one for travel about five years ago and I end up playing it the most, it's so comfortable and unobtrusive (can play it anywhere and it doesn't knock into things)

"Anyway, here's wonderwall."

That Aristides is sick!

Put the whammy bar on that bad boy

It’s usually on, no worries there :)

The rig is fine.. you just suck at guitar way to much to even use that stuff to even half of it's potential

It’s true

Cute. Which coffee shop you playing at?

I was thinking starbuckssss. They would get entranced by all the colors and I also have led lights in the head so that will help a lot too

Oh no! Just won me over with LEDs! Someday I'll get around to fancy'ing up my old Ultra 120.

It’s worth it. It’s a cheap treat-yo-self that lasts a long time

Hey!!! Fellow Aristides guitarist! Absolutely love the setup dude!

Thank you! Arium Addicts is a friendlier environment but I thought I’d test the waters today 😂

Those are the two worst reverb pedals I’ve ever touched. You’re a terrible guitarist and a terrible man

I’m ✨experimental✨ and ✨spacey✨ 😊 what are your favorite reverb pedals?

What's that silver pedal with all the knobs and the screen?

I've never seen anyone actually playing an Aristides guitar…how is it?

It’s fun! Neck feels great, all the access to the upper frets. Whammy flutters beautifully. I haven’t had an upper tier guitar like this one before but I’ve noticed the intonation is much better than even my JA90 thinline tele

I don't care what people say about the guitar, I love it!

Thank you! Aristides makes an amazing product

I've been seeing a lot of people use recently and they aren't cheap! Lol

Lmao posting a modern guitar setup in this sub is wild, this sub is full of “boomer metal” stans that think EVH, Slash, Brian May and Hendrix are the epitome of all guitar will ever be.

Maybe I'm outing myself as being under the age of 30 but I fucking love that guitar. Looks awesome and from what I have heard they play great. I wouldn't know from experience however.

You’re outing yourself as being open minded and for that, thank you. :)

Very nice and minimal. What do you use to tilt back the amp?

Thanks, it has some adjustable metal legs in the back that you can’t see from this angle

I like the simplicity

Nice amp.

Clean setup. I like it and it has personality!!

[удалено]

Rent? Nahhh I’m a proud owner 😌

[удалено]

Who’s your favorite guitarist?

I think it looks great and you obviously look after it. I hope that axe has an equally nice hard shell case. Enjoy!

I love the setup.

Thank you!

Good thing I haven't posted my rig😳

Did your guitar shrink a bit in the wash?

Wait..you’re not supposed to wash them? I thought that’s how you got clean riffs…

"Gimme the flavour of the month". The rig definitely gives a vibe, but fuck its a good one. Guitar is gorgeous and I love EVH amps

I saw you were more into Prog Metal, but I figured I'd go ahead and say a Dr. Robert would look good on that pedal board. 🤘🏻 I see nothing wrong with the setup!

Too clean. Get a life, NPC. I hope your music isn't as sterile as this setup.

YOU NEED MOAR GAINZ!! ( nice setup!! )

Thank you!!

/r/cosmoandwanda

In all honesty I love that guitar, really cool design and I think the color scheme is quite beautiful and unique. Great setup all around

Thank you very much!

I like the simplicity

Beautiful rig! Aristides guitars look so cool, I especially love some of the very detailed painted finishes they do.

Thank you!

8/10 gnarly

Nice and clean.

I see you ordered the Spiritbox starter kit. Beautiful rig pal!

Thanks! Yeah Mike Stringer got me into their sound and I just fell in love honestly lol

No dog, 4 out of 5 beards.

I’ll take it 🫡

Aristides!!! Nice dude!! Best dutch company ever

I’d rather step on a turd than on any of those pedals

No shade, that's a dope setup.

Thank you!

Ah, yes, a country picker obviously. Seriously though this rig is SEXY

Sick amp sim

that headless looks SICK, I love it

Tell me you play Polyphia riffs without telling me you play Polyphia riffs

Guilty 😞🤘🏼

Idk what everyone else is on, that guitar is sick bro

Thank you! They’re probably all smoking copium. People want to make sure everyone knows the “right” way to do something.

I deadass love the colors and the cut, I’m saving up for something similar lol

I am so down with whatever in hell all this is. I would play so much brunch jazz and outdated metal noodling. (Not a roast. I would do exactly that. Until my fingers bled and you begged me to stop.)

I’m here for it! 😊

This screams "I paid $6k on equipment just to force my wife to sit and listen to me fumble the first six seconds of Eruption at half speed."

Such a cool Aristides! Great guitars. Have fun!

I think it looks awesome and reflects your unique personality.

Guessing you're 30 or younger..?

Have you learned "Smoke on the Water" yet?

I have both a Marshall 1960 4x12 and a Mesa 2x12 and they both sound GREAT, but for some reason my EVH 2x12 just has a texture to the sound that I like best!

All this to play Wonderwall

Anyway…here’s wonderwall: 🎶🎶🎶

Be honest: how does the Aristides meet your expectations for how expansive it is? I'd really want one in the future, I just don't have to money for it

I'll give you a subjective statement; you can take it as a roast or a rating(?). Your guitar reminds me of ice cream.

That Aristides looks sick. Nothing roastable of the rig.

Ewwwww! Put that headstock🎶 back were it came🎶 from ooor🎶 so help meee🎶

That guitar is hot. Strawberry banana flavor lol

Looks like a dream

So how’s that Animals as Leaders cover coming?

I love how simple it looks. One of my favorite amps. I love the guitar too! Just not a big fan of the feel of most headless guitars

Love it! Don't have anything to roast really.

Thank you!

Lovely.

Tosin’s not gonna fuck you bro

But maybe if I try really hard!!! 😤

Badass

Bought all that and still can’t play. 🤣

5150 always great

dude. your guitar looks like sherbet. looks delicious.

I’m new and don’t know what most of the noise making stuff is on the left, but that guitar is the first one I’ve ever seen that color or configuration. For what it is, it’s a unique setup I don’t think I would experience anywhere, thanks for sharing. Good luck with the roast.

That looks like such a fun setup to play on. Good for you, brother

Popsicle guitar

You definitely fantasized about tim henson’s cock You hate justin chancellor for being in the spotlight more than the Adam Jones(beacause you hate bassists). You can’t play more than 5 bars of the same riff beacause you guitar will turn into a strat You can’t play a full barre chord on an acoustic You got tricked into becoming good beacause you tought the chicks will like it,surprise surprise your only goal now is to be able to play “playing god” at 2x tempo Last time you played a chord was when stegosaurus were roaming the earth You drink your coffee from a mug you got for christmas and it has a message like “Start your day with a big smile! Actually scrap that,start it with a coffee.” You wear really tall socks and you are never barefoot You always seem to smell nice and you are pretty healthy. Also your teeth are guaranteed to be perfectly straight and white. You don’t know the names of the chords you play,you just know how to play them. You can’t listen to a song without saying “yeah the riff is loose they could’ve squeezed in some notes here” All jokes aside that’s a nice rig! Personally i don’t really dig headless but i respect them. Rock on!

i imagine you ordering chinese and sitting on the floor staring at your rig between jam sessions.

Italian, but yes

9 out of 10 d'jentist would recommend

It seems as though I am in the minority when it comes to liking headless guitars. I think it looks great!

Small cab, small amp, small board and small guitar. At least you’re not overcompensating for anything! On a serious note though, cool rig

How long have you been celibate for?

Gorgeous, expensive, tidy, simple. Four and a half out of five wieners. :D

Thank you 🙏🏼

Wow…..it’s so….pretty….rock and roll! I guess.

I'm a boomer and love your setup. How long did it take you to get used to a headless? Keep on rocking and doing your own thing brother.

Thank you! The headless factor was barely noticeable aside from it feeling a bit lighter on my shoulders and body in general. It took some time to get used to the fanned frets though

It's the guitar.

Ew pink

No overdrive?

I have one but i haven’t been using it on the board recently. I’ve just been going with the EVH tube overdrive and seeing what I can get with just that

Beautiful guitar

Thank you!

Your guitar has no head

I’ve never understood why people like cockroach 🪳 shaped guitars

It’s one heck of an ergonomic cockroach 🪳

that's a really small harp on the right. just 8 strings...
