Mark Vollelunga

The Aristides 020 is a beautiful, vintage-styled, short-scale guitar, and the third and final of the original 3 Aristides models designed in collaboration with VANRENDESIGN. Our dedication to craftsmanship and functionality carries over into this model, despite its vintage appointments, right down to the slightly thicker neck shape and heavy-duty machined pickup rings. Combine this design with all the tonal, playability, and durability benefits of our one-piece Arium construction, and you have the benefits of a comfortable, warm-sounding vintage guitar with all the customizability and quality of an Aristides Instrument! Equally at home in metal and traditional music. Design by Frans van Rens

Mark Vollelunga is the guitarist for experimental rock band Nothing More. Founded in 2003, the band persevered on the road and self-released albums for a decade to hone their sound. Their breakthrough came in 2013 with the release of their self-titled album. Their music is characterized by creative song structures, serious lyrical topics, and a poppy catchy attitude. Their live shows are truly a sight to behold, and Mark’s playing is no exception. Aristides Instruments hold up to the abuse of constant touring and help Mark create the sonic soundscapes needed for Nothing More’s music.
