The Aria Pro II archtop sounds GREAT! It a very fine guitar for Blues or Jazz. It sound very good acoustically or amplified.
Action, Fit, & Finish

It's hard to believe that a guitar this nice doens't cost a thousand buck! Everything on the guitar was perfect. How do they manufacture a guitar this nice for so little? Even the tuners are cool. It has those old style Kluson type tuners. I played the Washburn HB-15 before I bought the Aria: NO COMPARISON! The Aria has it beat hands down.

I'm sure that it will last a life time. Sure, I'd gig with it without a backup. Live playing? No problem. The finish is great, it will last.

I've never had to call them but they do have an outlet in the USA. The guitar has a limited LIFE-TIME warranty.
Overall Rating

I been playing four decades. I've owned many high end guitars (Gibson, Gretsch, Fender, etc...). This guitar is as nice a any mid-range USA made guitar. There is really nothing negative that I can say about this guitar. The quality far exceeds the price. It looks very retro and it sounds very good.
