Aria AW-200

I do not know if it is exactly this model, but my Aria looks exactly like the picture of this model, with one exception: it is white (cream) with black edging and an inscription in English indicating it is a limited edition (?).

Rosewood handle a priori (I am not an expert), lacquer finish in good order for the body of the guitar, no cutaway. The Canadian dreadnough par excellence.

Mechanics begin to tire a bit ... But it is not very young, since belonged to my mother before me, and should be approximately 25 years!

UTILIZATION

The neck is super nice, access is difficult from acute form of the guitar. Ergonomics is simply that of a conventional dreadnough (ie average).

SOUNDS

Sound: I love it! Good low round property, mediums crystalline nickel for accompaniment. The highs are a bit weak people, but relatively well in slamming the pick into rhythm. The resonance is beautiful if the fingers do their job (which is not always the case when you come to play an electric just before lol).

My guitar is well balanced. I've never hacked or taken for review and yet regardless of the pulling my strings agree with my twelfth fret harmonics of the (then the guitar is just along the entire length of the tuning fork).

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since I started playing (since I started on it! Approximately fifteen years).
I did not buy, so I can not judge by price ratio. Compared to other guitars of the same family, I can not find it so well. After these are elements of playing comfort that come into play: comfort, cutaway, thick body, etc.. I told deputies a microphone for acoustic I fixed the sound hole to save.

More sentimental value good quality (I find it very pretty and it sounds very good), I keep it!
