We’ve broken down the history of Arium, how it was developed, and what it is. How do we go about crafting a guitar out of it?
1) Creating an exoskeleton:
This is an outer layer consisting of different topcoats for sanding and construction and multiple layers of glass fibre and carbon which are locally inserted. The exoskeleton creates a hollow guitar and is necessary for construction stiffness and durability. The great challenge is to make the guitar stiff, but not too stiff. When it is too stiff you’ll have great sustain but no warmth in the tone. We want both. So, it all starts with the outer layer which is about a day’s work. This results for the highest standard in both tone and durability.
2) The core is made with Arium. For a quick review: this is a scientifically developed ideal tone material with clear sound, good sustain, warmth and beautiful character in tone. We take great pride in ensuring the build quality of our guitars, but the material itself plays a huge role in tone as well. Arium is made out of different resins and solid additives to create a relatively light and liquid material that is injected into the exoskeleton. The end result is a mixture of resins and particles that creates millions of tiny sound chambers that can resonate freely in all three dimensions.
