My model is an ARIA PRO II FA70 1992. I bought it new and it looks just like the ARIA FA70 these days ... how these constancy Japanese!

Made in Korea because ARIA has stopped making most of the instruments in Japan in the late 1980s.

Sides and back flames (probably a veneer).
Good value
For the rest of technical info see the previous opinion.

UTILIZATION

Channel pleasant, thin, is well suited to play with the thumb behind the neck (it's not normal for a guitar rock!)
The access is complicated with acute after the 17th case, even normal.
Comfortable to hold despite the jazz box.

SOUNDS

Sounds good to empty registry balanced.
The microphones drool too, support the crunch for blues but a relatively low distortion.
I used these mics for 15 years and I will change them for GFS.

OVERALL OPINION

Good guitar, at what is being done well today: Ibanez and consort.
Good resistance in time because I changed the knobs after 12 years of loyal service;
Do not scrub too fittings sister just to say goodbye to gold.
Mechanical accurate, durable, well take the agreement.
I have a small problem with the 18th cargo seeking to regain his freedom at the low E but I'm rarely in that area.
