I haven’t heard that, but now I’m happy I went with Polymaths.
Will let you know… In a year.

Have anyone ever achieved good results except for chugging metal scenes？I searched for jazz and among the few posts there are one complaining about too much sustain. Will a pickup change make it more capable for jazz cleans in some way? Gonna stretch my hands on a 080 with original BKPs and I’m curious about versatility of these guitars

I haven't specifically seen jazz guitarists play an Aristides, and I'm not particular enough about jazz tone to know if what I'm playing is 'authentic'. However, you'll see plenty of progressive metal guitarists play Aristides and you can somewhat get an idea of what a clean tone sounds like through one. I can't think of specific examples at the moment, but just have a look around in the soft prog space (Plini sort of stuff).
Actually, there's a video of Tosin comparing his old 080 with BKP pups with his Abasi pickups. There are a few clean tones played.

Has anyone heard when the v2 saddles will be released for the headless bois? The only real bitch i have about mine is cutting the ball end off and bending the strings and all that. Not a huge deal for sure but it is annoying.

I've been to the factory on May 19th to pick up my first build (I promise pics will follow, it's epic). I also had the chance to see my second build, a H/08. Its nearly finished and Pascal confirmed that it will have the new saddles.

The above prompted me as fire off an email and Jereon confirmed my H/08 is getting the new tuners. Final assembly may be this week in fact.

060s custom paint
Idea of where we're going with paint: black base - 6 color splatter

Sent the remaining payment for the H/08.
Should be 4-8 weeks and it’ll be in my hands.

Showed up on Friday. Very glad I had the foresight to order the objectively best color. Very happy with how low-key the inlays ended up looking with the MOP on fake maple.
Still need to learn how to play a 7 string, but I feel substantially less lost after just a couple of hours so far. First multiscale guitar too and I love it.
Not sure how I feel about the Lundgrens yet. Awesome for the chug, for sure, not sure about the weedily-dee stuff though. Haven't worked on dialing in my amp at all, though, so I'm sure I can get better. If not, I might try the Polymaths some other people in this thread have suggested.
So far, I'm beyond satisfied.

What lundgrens?
M7 bridge + Black Heaven neck. Big gain down on the amp helped a lot but we'll see.
So you don’t care
for the black heaven neck?

I found the M7 bridge can be a bit shrill. Haven't tried the Black Heaven. If you find them too hot, you could also try lowering the pickups, further away from the strings.
I'm totally not the dude to take pickup recommendations from. My playing is 95% though a patch on Helix Native that sounds good enough to not annoy me and when I record and care what I sound like, I reamp and screw around until I'm happy. I won't be recording with this one until I figure out how to play it.
In other news, this is a fantastic guitar. I had this plan in my head for my next guitar, a super strat with a NFT Floyd and roller nut, H / S pickups with like a Sustainiac or something, but I'm now sort of craving a matching pink T/0R, like this but in regular pink:

I really like the black heavens in my headless. If i had one complaint at all it would be that the bridge has a touch more lowend than i normally like. I love the neck and i personally really think they both split well. I just got a 070 with the Pegasus and Sentient and much prefer the black heavens.

They posted my guitar yesterday, so I suppose I need to show some proof it's actually in my possession ;p
I'll tell you, it plays like a dream and she looks quite stunning.
