Spiritbox guitarist, Mike Stringer, has announced the official launch of The STX Collection in partnership with Aristides.

This exciting debut marks Stringer’s first-ever signature guitar line. Following a near-decade-long collaboration of merging Stringer’s technical demands and Aristides innovative craftsmanship, a sneak peek of the collection was unveiled at NAMM 2025 earlier this year.

Built for comfort and versatility, the collection offers five distinct models. With its sleek, ergonomic offset design, each model is compatible with the flagship Airstides features and offers multiple string options. Engineered for all playing styles, the line offers several customizable options for your individual style, over 200 finish options, and Spiritbox-themed inlays.

Stringer showcased the STX Collection in a playthrough video of “Perfect Soul” which is currently at #15 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart.

“I first started playing Aristides guitars in 2015, and their instruments have shaped the overall sound of my band, our recordings, and my playing,” shares Stringer. “Today, after 10 years of playing their guitars, I am very proud and honored to announce the launch of the first ever Aristides artist collaboration line: The STX series. An offset model available in 6, 7, and 8 string configurations, focused on ergonomics, quality and precision. My entire career, I’ve been trying to find the instrument that covers all the ground I need, and we’ve accomplished this with the STX. I cannot wait for guitarists to get their hands on one!”
