the neck had been screwed with&someone has put a full plate behind a neck that is glued in they did this because when they reglued they misaligned the damn neck it did take a while to fix but A-it was worth it&B-for 150 clams i could have parted it out&made money on ebay i figure that this guitar is about 25 yrs+ old it is a awesome player i hear people talk about they gig with this because its cheap&they dont have to worry etc bull i want my best out everywhere i go & i play em all HARD this hasnt even broken a string yet i`ve had it about a yr now

are you kidding? i cant even find a pic of this model on their vintage website-the real aria company is long gone but i have to say as much as i hate to admit it the asian guitars out there in a mid price range are as good as most of the hi falutin overpriced stuff we have in the states some are much better e.g.-tokia dillion
