ken b « know anything about this guitar? »
Published on 01/21/11 at 06:26Aria pro II CT series.
2 single coils, 1 humbucker with coil tapping.
1 volume, 1 tone
Don't think it's a rosewood fretboard (too light)
Brown/ gold sunburst with black crackle finnish
UTILIZATION
Strat shape / traditional aria headstock.
Plays beautiful! Multitude of tones!
Heavier than expected!
SOUNDS
Marshall 50 watt combo
Fender 100 watt frontman.
Can get just about any sound out of it you want.
Screams harmonics with distortion!
OVERALL OPINION
Always wanted an Aria! Back in the 70's they were too pricey.
Gibson priced themselves out of the market. / Fender quality dropped & flooded the market.
Very happy with it but somebody snapped out the whammy bar connection on the tailpiece. Would love to find another & return it to mint!
Would buy another in a heartbeat!
