This. I think the Aristides is as stable as any other guitar. The neck is pretty stiff from the perspective of the truss rod. They tend to be dead flat at string tension with the truss rod in the neutral position. This is fine because you can add relief from the rod. This gives you some idea.
This is true. And kind of weird. However it's highly predictable and therefore easy to live. Once it's been played for 10 minutes it stays put as well as anything. The solution is Aristides plus Evertune.
Neither of mine do this . They are very particular to intonate though but that is because when you play them acoustically you hear every single overtone. I agree about the H/O 6. I have mine out the whole time .
Understood. But a lot of them do. Known issue and discussed directly with Aristides.
Is the black one from guitarguitar? I must have come home from work and loaded up that page every day for a month and looked at that guitar, would have bought it but for the reverse headstock! Looks great, nice flame top. The blue one is stunning also. I don’t get Suhr’s obsession with pau ferro fretboards on a lot of their non-custom guitars, ebony and maple are much nicer. I’m not that impressed with their choice of finishes/specs on their standard lines of guitars either, the only nice Suhrs I’ve seen are customs. Will wait and see what GG and Peach get in next year.
I think both of those are entirely personal tastes.
Curious about the pricing on these. Beautiful looking guitars.
Got my original JEM for sale...love my Suhrs!
Me neither but i hear good things.
For us lucky folks here in the ripoff Britain, Angels seem to start from around £4.5k and head on up from there. On the Peach Guitars website -which is the UK's only Anderson dealer - Angels range from £4.5k for a solid finish to £5.8k for the fancy stuff. Suhr Modern Customs are around 10% cheaper for an equivalent spec, and the US Tyler Studio Elites are an astronomical £6-7k+, with Tyler Japans slightly cheaper than a Suhr Custom. I have sold 3 guitars this year to fund the Anderson. Some of the comments about the consistency of Anderson guitars in this thread have been very reassuring for what is by far my most expensive guitar purchase.
I am confident that you will be pleased your custom Anderson. I own two and have played a handful of others. They were all very good. Tom Anderson does the final QC and plays every single guitar before it leaves the shop.
Those original floral guitars are great!
Another good thing about Anderson is that their guitars are consistently quite light, around 6.7lbs-7.4lbs. My Angel is 6.9lbs. On the other hand, Suhr Moderns for example, tend to hover around 8lbs. I'm quite picky on weight, and I'd rather not order a custom Suhr if there's a chance it's going to be 8.5lbs (for example). I had to hunt down my 7.5lbs Suhr Modern; I've seen lighter ones but I'm happy with the weight.
