Aria Pro II RS Knight Warrior

No idea where it was made or what it is made of. Black finish. It is a fake floyd rose bridge which sucks.tuners... s/s/h, peice of crap id say, a beginners guitar

pretty bad sound too. As i said a beginners guitar.

Pretty good set up, neck pickup sinks into body,Finish sucks, u like, touch the guitar and it scratches.

i wouldnt use a backup, id use a differetn guitar.

never dealt with them.

I bought this guitar from a friend in June of '98 in really bad condition. The guitar has a H/H pickup configuration with a three way toggle and 1 tone and 1 volume control. The neck is a bolt on, 21 fret with a rosewood fretboard and black paint, with gold lettering on the headstock. The pickups that were with it are Duncan Distortions, which are obviously not stock, it was originally yellow, but the previous owner painted black(crappy job too). The electronics were total crap, so I'm in the process of redoing them, I already fized up the paint job. I don't know what kind of woods were used, but the body weighs a ton! The bridge isn't original either, the cavity looks like it originaly had a Floyd Rose and I have seen others like this with Floyd Roses. The current one is really weird, it sits in posts, like tuno-matic, but it has a tremolo that sits in a cavity, its hard to describe, maybe I'll scan a picture of it someday. This guitar is pretty poor quality as far as I can tell, I mainly bought it for the pickups.

I haven't gotten the elctronics on it setup yet, so it's hard to say how it sounds. Before I bought it there was some serious grounding problems, but when it wasn't buzzing it still sounded like shit. It has a neck shaped like a Gibson's, although it is a bolt-on, not set, I'm not much for the thick narrow necks, I'm used to my Ibanez's neck.

I can't say how it was setup originally, this thing has been raped several times since it was originally purchased.

It must be pretty damn reliable, this thing is still in decent condition considering how bad it's been treated. Once I get done with it, I'll probably use it as a backup, for now it's just a project.

Never tried it, is Aria even still in business, if so can somebody tell me how I can contact them , I can't find anything about them.

This guitar pretty much sucks, it weighs a ton and its an Aria Pro II, I'll post another pole as soon as I get it back to woking order.

It was made in like 94. Its got 22 medium frets. Its got a volume and a tone control that pulls out (dunno what it does) and a 5-way selector. S/S/H pickups. Passive electronics. I dunno what the body is and oh yeah, its black. Its got a great looking body (sorta like a strat with sharper ends, and it pulls in at the bottom) Its got a thin neck. And also its got a locking tremelo and lockdown at the top, and its got fine tuners (which is great). Also I got a sota beat up DOD grunge pedal with it and a cord.

Well I play heavy stuff, mostly rage against the machine stuff and it sounds great for it. It buzzes on all the pickups except the humbucker alone, but when it does buzz its pretty slight. With the middle and the humbucker though, you get the best sound, its pretty deep with a bit of an acoustic sond to it. It does have a good variety from deep to a lighter sound. I really like the sound of it.

Everything is good, but the pickups can be a bit loose and they could be more even. Bit of a noisy pickup switch and lockdown can be a pain.

I think it will definitly wthstand live playing and I think everything should last except for maybe the pickups eventually. The finish seems great and I think I would use it without a backup.

Never had to deal with em.

I have been playing over a year and I have gotten pretty good, I also have an ibanez bass and I play that in our band. If I lost it or if it got stolen, I dont think I coud find one so I would get something else. I should have found out more about the lockdown and such before I bought it. And I picked it over a squire strat cause of the lockdowns, the fine tuners and the sound.
