I got this guitar in Montreal but it was made
in Japan in either 68' or 69'. The Neck Is thin and a bit bad for action
(But much better than some I've Played)It has a medium neck... It has one volume and one
Tone nob, and a really cool bridge(Not quite sure what kind it is.)
(Strings dont go through to the back) Two Single Coil Humbuckers,
I think, With a three way switch. Electronics In GREAT SHAPE!!
(with the exception of lots of feedback)
It's white, matching with the tuning pegs (Which are horrible looking)
I got it with a fender Gig bag and a strap. (Go to Kitts Musique, Montreal!!!)

Sound : 10
My Style is Blues/Rock. The Guitar really suits that, espessially
because it gets such a fat sound when you switch it to the neck pickup.
Really great combination with a tube screamer. It gets a very good
Hendrix sound. A bit noisy on both pickups, but it has a lot of variety
in sound. Led Zeppelin sounds great on the treble pickup. Or at half tone.
I LOVE the sound. It is one of the best sounds I've ever heard.

Action, Fit, & Finish : 8
The guitar was quite well set up when I first got it. But
Then again, It is thirty-four years old... The action
isn't that good, but not bad, either. I havn't udjusted the pickups,
but the neck pickup is much more powerful than the treble.
The only flaw I can see with it is the nut, which isn't glued down,
so if you move it, all the strings buzz. All you need to do, though is
find the right place. Ah, and the tuning pegs are due for replacing.

Reliability/Durability : 10
Wow! IT looks like someone had a guitar fight with it, but it works great!
If I tried to trash it onstage, I dont know if it would work so well.
Everything is super solid.

Customer Support : No Opinion
I have NO IDEA! I've never tried.
But the website sucks. They dont have pictures for most guitars
that they make.

I've been Playing for two years, now, And I own A Mexican strat
with a humbucker, An Ibanez Bass, and a Cube 30. If My Aria was stolen
I'd have to hunt the theif down and beat him up with one of my other
guitars and take it back. I Love the sound the most! It is great.
The only thing I hate is the action. I want better action. I could not
compare this with any other guitars, because I love it so much.
The only thing else I wish it had was a new neck and tuners.
If you see one of these Jag Copies for sale from Aria, I suggest
you buy it. Very solid, and better than anything else in the price-range
of 200$

this guitar was made in japan from 1968-70. don't get mad at my lack of lingo! i am a drummer and i got this guitar given to me and man does it ever sound amazing! i let my guitar player play it all the time! It has 21 frets. mahogany body with maple neck! 1 volume and 1 tone control and 3 way toggle. 2 single humbuckers i think. the original pickups! sunburst finish! i have only found 1 of these on the net and it says jazz/jag copy? is it a combination of the 2? Tremollo bridge! non locking original pegs! maple neck!

my guitar player plays this guitar through a kustom solid state with 2 12's and it sounds like hendrix! unreal sound! i have been playing the drums for over 25 years and i don't think i have ever heard such a sound! round warm sound that really squeels when you step on the big muff. this guitar is very versitile and i don't think i will ever get rid of it!
