Spruce top (Looks Solid) Mahogany back and sides Cedar neck with Rosewood fretboard and bridge. The saddle and nut may be bone, but not quite sure. Tunners don't look like anything special.

WOW!!! Great sound. Thats why i'm pretty sure the top is solid. The sound is rich and full but, balanced a little towards the bright side.
Action, Fit, & Finish
:

Everything seems to have been put together pretty well. The action is comfortably low. The inside does have a couple of glue drips,but thats it. Not perfect but not bad at all.

Man, This guitar is like 37 years old. It has it's share of scrathes and gauges. The rear low bout binding came off,but i glued it back on. The top finish is very worn and thinned out. It stays at home on a stand all the time. everybody messes with it,but it's a tank.

I've been playing for about 34 years. I also own two Collings acoustics, A custom Brazillian classical and a Kamaka ukulele. This guitar belonged to my wife's father I think it is a very nice guitar and am so impresed by Aria that i am very interested in purchasing a top end solid wood classical from this company
