Jus Lukin Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) This is an Aria MAC guitar. Slim neck with flat fingerboard and low action, set up with .010s. The pickups are a Seymour Duncan Lil' 59 in the neck, Dimarzio Virtual Vintage in the middle, and a Kent Armstrong PAF, all of which sound great. The switching is the standard 5-way, although the neck and middle are out of phase which is very useful for recording- simply reversing the wires on the neck pickup would give a more usual mid-neck selection. There is also a mini switch, currently unused, but could be wired for coil split/tap or phase. The Strat style vibrato is currently blocked, but the vibrato arm is included, along with the factory allen keys. It's in great nick although some of the gold plating on the hardware has worn a bit, shown in the photos. Unfortunately it is hard to capture the colour with my poor photography skills- it is a very deep, translucent ruby red, but the camera lightens it somewhat! The guitar is very light, and I have boxes and packing material for sending. A really slick playing guitar, and the pickups alone are worth the asking price!

Jus Lukin Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Just giving this a little bump. I already went in with a crazy price- the pickups are worth the asking price alone- so I can't go dropping the price any further! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman72 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 This is lovely...Aria's without the upgrades are great value for money. Surprised it is still here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus Lukin Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I know, right?! Perhaps pricing it to sell from the start wasn't wise. I can hardly whack the price up now I've paid off my credit card! I obviously have a vested interest in saying that it's a great guitar, but it really is a good confluence of bits. Having to parts it out would be a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman72 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 If I was gigging and getting some cash flow I would be very tempted. Someone buy this and put me out of misery!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
