I bought this in 1997. i'm not sure where it was made. its a 21 fret guitar. Solid body. Pearl inlays (very nice). 2 single coil, and 1 humbucker pickups, volume, and tone (my tone knobs is broken:( )
Pickups say "Aria" on them... Passive electronics. Neck is screwed onto the body. Floyd Rose trem. Locking tuners.
Sound

I play rock, blues, some hard stuff. It well for this. The middle pickup has a very smooth, jazzy tone to it, that i use for leads. The humbucker has a edge to it that i use w/ distortion. Those are the only pickup settings i use. I love the sound and how the guitar plays. I'm not using the best amp, so i dont know if i'm getting the best sound out of it, but i really like it.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Action is a strat style hieght. Little higher than a les paul, its very nice. it has more "meat" to it or something. The trem lets you adjust it. i have it where i like it. Theres a tiny buzz on one string that i've tweaked out. Other than that, its good. The finish is a beautiful dark red/orange to brown and then to black as it goes it. real happy with it. no flaws on the finish.
