Aria AC-35

Spanish made classical. I bought mine in Canada 2 months ago. Mine has solid cedar top. Sapelli back and sides.

Finish is nice. Tuners are good. (Don't know what they are.)

Great sound especially in the bottom end. And yes, it sounds much more expensive than it is.

The guitar was set up fine. The action is a little high, but not unusual for a classical. (Try a Ramirez, it's even higher!) I had it lowered and not a single buzz is noted to date. It plays wonderfully even with my small hands.

Seems very reliable even though it's a very light guitar (A good thing). I've only had it a couple of months.

It had 2 scratches on it already when I bought it, but I couldn't care less. I buy my guitars for the sound. It did fall over the other day, and everything is fine. The high E broke and put a couple of dings in it, but other than that, it's fine.

Haven't had any problems with it.

Have been playing on and off for about 28 years between working and raising kids. All styles. I also own a 1976 K Yairi YM135 Steel String (another thing of beauty)

I bought this when my Kamouraska Concert III needed to be retired. It was more expensive to fix than to buy a new one. I couldn't believe the sound that comes from this AC35. For my budget, it was the closest I could come to a really high end guitar. Played it against La Patrie Presentation Model, Ramirez R1 and a Yamaha CG171SF Flamenco. It won hands down for price and sound.

The Ramirez was the closest in quality.

Lately, I've had the opportunity to play some really world class guitars through my daughter's instructor and he couldn't even believe this little guitar. He's a professional musician and composer. He thought I got a really good deal.

If I had to buy another guitar, I would definitly consider another Aria - especially an AC80. Another beauty.

Made in Spain by a Japanese company. Solid Spruce top.

All the "features" a classical guitar should have. 6 strings... a body...a neck... tuners... all present. :)

It sounds like something far more expensive than it was. Clear, full and bell like... and even better after only a year.

Typical action for a classical gutar. No rattles or buzzes anywhere.

Finish is flawless. Tuners are smooth and precise feeling.

Although it's an extremely well made guitar with superlative fit and finish, it has a certain delicate feel to it that makes me want to be extremely careful with it. It's as light as a feather and absolutely beautiful. It'll rarely leave my house or see the outside of the case unless it's in my hands.

No experience directly with Aria. Clark Guitars is great however.

I've benn playing for 35 years, and I own a total of 7 guitars and 2 amps

Ditto's to Daves review. I've had mine for a year, and it sounds better every day. I've played it side by side with much more expensive classical guitars, and the Aria is always equal or superior in sound quality. If you can find a better guitar for the money, buy it. I don't think you will.

Mine was a birthday gift from my wife, so I didn't ask the price. I know she purchased it by special order from Clark Guitars in Vermilion Oh. She said the price was far lower than anywhere else she shopped and the service she got from them was excellent. Very helpful pleasant people. She also got (at Clarks suggestion) a TKL hard case that fits like a glove. I would never put such a delicate instrument in a gig bag.

Has everything a classical guitar should have. This guitar was made in Spain. It has nice tuners that stay in tune. I thought the action was slightly high, but that is how classical guitars are supposed to be anyway. My instructor agreed.

Paid $400 for it with a case, got an excellent deal compared to what I saw on the internet. Bought it at "Dietze", Lincoln, NE.

It has a nice classical sound. I was impressed. My guitar instructor said that you could buy a $1200 classical guitar and not be able to tell the difference with mine.

Very nice sound.Makes anything you play sound good.

Action slight high for my taste, but that's how a classical guitar is supposed to be. No fret buzz ANYWHERE, I was surprised. No visible flaws, very nice guitar.

Seems like it will last, but at the same time it seems so delicate compared to my electric guitars..... this guitar makes me want to be very careful and nice with it. Get a case, a good one.

Tuners work nice, and the guitar seems welt built.

n/a with ARia, but "Dietze" has been GREAT in the past.

Been playing for 12 years, and decided to finally start studying classical guitar.

Excellent product, recommended. I would buy it again. Good value for the money spent.

I've been waiting to write this review, waiting to have the guitar for a few weeks, and I also wanted my instructor to look at it.

Very satisfied with the guitar.
