For 26 years this has been a good sounding guitar. Now better then ever. Sound has mellowed some, Great for playing 70's accoustic songs like Neal Young and Fleetwood Mac.

The action was very high and had to be tuned down for my quiter playing style. Hold tune well and is very sensitive. Now that I use electronic tuner only replace worn strings from time to time.

I have been playing since the early 70's never professional. I also have an Ovation electric, and Alverez Classical my original guitar.
Have looked for another Aria ProII PW40 on the web and have seen none for sale. It is easier to purchase the Martin it was Modeled after then this fine copy.

Played for four years in the late 70's and picked it back up in Dec.'97.I am shopping and dreaming about buying another guitar.There are so many choices and it is difficult for me to see and play the many fine acoustic guitars being made today.
