NGD Aristides Headless

Looks like I'm joining the Aristides headless club. This is the pic from the Reverb listing.

It’s difficult to tell from looking because the angled pickups for Aristides all use bobbins and baseplates supplied by Aristides to the pickup makers and effectively look identical. Another level of clarity in these guitars though.
 
Thanks to @Eagle for recommending Aristides Guitars, I didn‘t had them on my radar.

What should I say, I‘m beyond stoked.
This guitar is just awesome and it has left me speachless today.
Long Story short, I searched for an Aristides Headless and this beauty showed up on the Aristides website.
I wrote them a message and they werd just on their way to NAMM.
So thanks to Jeroen and Pascal from Aristides for answering all my questions during their busy time at NAMM.
After checking the specs I made the deal when they were almost on their way back to the Netherlands.
They put my prefered string gauge on the guitar, did an amazing setup and send me the guitar as quick as they could.

So this beauty arrived today and as soon as I opened the awesome Softcase (which is also in it‘s own league) I named it „Medusa“
It‘s a beauty and it can turn into a beast immediatly.

Specs:
Custom satin shattered finish shell pink and blue.
Bare Knuckle Silo bridge and Stormy Monday Neck Pickup.
Hantug Vibrato

First I would have compare it to the Strandberg but honestly that wouldn‘t be a fair competition.
The Aristides is many miles ahead and the better guitar in every single point.

To be honest this guitar looks way way better in Person.

By the way the guys offered me to visit the factory and hopefully I can do that when I can take a des days off.
