stupendousMan's Aria Pro II Mega Metal Series
This was one of my early guitars, but I love it to this day!
It has been with me for at least 20 years and is a real working horse!
Bought in London in '87, I tuned it a little, changed the tremolo to a Floyd Rose System,
bought new pickups (Bartolini Humbucker and Single Coil) and it ROCKS!
Beautiful sustain and the neck is really good to play (unfortunately it is a painted neck).
It looks a little used now - some cuts, cigarette-burns, and it used to be white - now it is - uhm - yellow/grey/brown/white/something
I drilled some extra holes (why?), and the frets are really worn down, because I used to use it a lot!
But I wouldn't ever give it away!
It's made in Japan, and you can not really compare it to new Aria models,
because the guitars they build now are really cheap and also only made in China I think..
