Notes: Aston's debut model, transformerless topology, solid stainless-steel tumbled chassis with wave-form spring head. price_usd sourced from a third-party dealer aggregator (recordinghacks.com), not directly scraped from astonmics.com (product specs on the live site are loaded client-side via JS/API and were not retrievable via static fetch). country_of_manufacture reflects Aston's official 'Made in UK' brand claim (design/assembly); note that post-2021 Music Tribe acquisition, some Aston products (notably Element) have been reported with 'Made in PRC' markings on packaging, so treat UK-manufacture claims with some caution across the current lineup.
