NGD: Aristides Blue Chameleon Battleworn

[nightlight]

This is one of the really old ones. Love the finish. It changes from blue to purple, and has a “battleworn” look. The pickups are Seymour Duncan Alpha Omegas. Check it out:

Very cool. Too bad it has a Floyd though.

What’s behind that back plate? Open that sucker up!

Old enough for an Ebony fingerboard?
Looks awesome.

Here's a short video I put together of the axe. In this 15-minute video, I play some clean stones, play some heavy tones and finally do a band mix. In the clean tones section, I also demo the pickups. Very nice in my opinion.

EDIT: I updated the video, because the original mix was so poor, that it wasn't even HD. I just redid it and now YouTube is processing it as an HD video. Here it is.




Time stamps:
Clean melody: 0.28 minutes
Clean chords: 3.27 minutes
Distorted tones: 5.49 minutes
Full band mix: 8.30 minutes

Not sure. Is there a way to check?

Post a really close up pic of the fingerboard and I will be able to tell you.

Aye aye, Sir. I'll do that in just a bit.

Here's another video with the axe, I'm really digging it.



After the band mix, there is just the dual tracked guitar tone for you to get an idea of what the Seymour Duncan Alpha Omegas sound like with high gain (In my dinky little studio, where it's hard as hell to get a tone to translate on monitors).

EDIT: Sorry, that video really sucked. Some kind of problem with my computer when I was exporting audio, everything was distorted. The new video is the real deal.
