Solid Middle of the Road

Could be better, could be worse. The guitar I have is 23 years old. It's not horrible for what it is. I didn't pay a dime for it, so I can't rightly complain about it. It has a plastic bridge. Don't know what Aria was thinking when they did that. If it were any kind of wood, this would be a much better guitar than it is. It looks nice, standard curvature of a dreadnought guitar, but the pickguard has that little flare to it that sets it apart. Holds tune for years. Literal years.

Just that damn plastic bridge. I've thought about replacing it, but that's just so much more trouble than it's really worth on this guitar when I've got my Kay KDG-70, which is 1000x the guitar this one could ever dream to be.

Still, if you ever come across one for a c-note, you could do a lot worse!

Also, interesting note here--the interwebs is shockingly bare of information about this guitar. I know it exists, it's less than 3 meters away from me as I type this on my triple guitar stand with my ICX-120 and my Lyon Strat knockoff--I know it exists. It's physically in the room with me. But there is little and less information on the interwebs about it. And fewer and far between are any pictures of it!

Even Aria doesn't seem to have much info on the guitar. The maker of it. Weird and strange times we live in, folks.

Ah well. Closed tuners, not sure what wood the body is, plastic bridge, bridge pins, rosewood fingerboard, plastic nut. As I say, if you find one for a c-note or less, and you want a cheap banger of a guitar you don't mind knocking about, this'd be the one I'd say snag. But be minded that plastic bridge gives a fairly artificial sound. Not a bad sound--it's a truly unique sound, but it's artificial none the less.
