Dayeth Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I got this beast off my Auntie about 7 years ago for only 50 after she won it in a raffle and didn't particulary want it. I haven't really played it much in the last 3 years since I got other guitars cos I prefer them...but it looks ace.I've never been able to find anything about it on the net, it just says Aria Pro II on the head...thats all I know....kinda looks like some old B.C. Riches.There is a fine array of switches and knobs but you need batteries for them to all work properly.If anyone has any suggestions, comments or info...they woud be most welcome.

Mouse Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Looks roughly from the 80's. It's got the 80's Aria headstock similar to the Bass style on Cliff Burton's old bass. I'd hold on to it, nice guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Ascension Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Could be some sort of built-in guitar / synth set up with all those switches and the batteries. Nice looking guitar though, def worth more than 50 i'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, it's probably just a copied version of the old BC Rich active electronics.And I agree, ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.A.R.T Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 arias were made in the matsomoku factory in japan in the 80s. the same place they made early ibanez's and westone gutars.the factory is famed for producing guitars with great sound and electronics at budget prices. the guitar really isnt worth much more than 100. but it doesnt mean it sucks.the electronics will be active, aswell as pickup splitter switches.it looks pretty cool!i want one!
