UTILIZATION

A guitar neck more comfortable and enjoyable and easy.
access to the acute-is easily the handle is fine (Ibanez type) and slide your fingers well
the guitar is rather well-balanced it was not broken back after a few hours of play standing
Finally, the floyd, although not "genuine floyd rose" like fine tuning at extreme dive bombing!

we must nevertheless learn to use the guitar volume and tone
because the range of tones that can be obtained is very wide.
it gives the advantage of developing his ear for music;) (which earned him an 8)

SOUNDS

I play at home with a peavey VK112 and I use as an effect jaques tubeblower (overdrive), a BOSS DS-2 (turbo distortion) and a crybaby wah-wah, compressor (fat burner) and a chorus (Boss CE-5 )

its side, the microphone was a simple little soft and the level of output humbucker was honest.
Everything is better now that I've changed (and noiseless fender humbucker acted donLace)
I play Hendrix, from clapton, nirvana, metallica's from Led Zeppelin and I am more than satifsfait sounds that I draw.
clean sounds very clear in its simple and round with the humbucker,
can grow both in acute and medium blues crunch sound
request that a more serious rock rhythmic accompaniment

Note the push / pull which increases still sounds obtained and sometimes giving a boost effect on the tone:
thanks to the push / pull in combination they have little micro:
S (stick) - S (handle) + HB (bridge)-S (stick) + S (qd bridge HB split) - H (bridge) - S (bridge qd HB split)

OVERALL OPINION

I play with this guitar for almost 11 years and it still sounds like new
I know ARIA has produced models with very low-end boxes chipboard etc. .... Nevertheless, in 80-90 years they have factories in large models with advanced electronics .... Some models will exceed the 10000F at the time

I bought it used 1500F and I've seen for sale on a new site in Germany to € 609 a few days ago.
It was a great guitar to start and I realized that then you could really use it fully
when not a very big budjet not leave on such a guitar and change the pickups is a good compromise
I think with experience it's a good plan that I would do today!!
Be careful though in aria There's good and less good even in the magna series! I think I'm a little special!
