Aria 1702T

Postby Olav » Fri Jan 22, 2010 8:13 am

Bought this for my girlfriend last week, my first eBay win! Can't stand the fact I couldn't be a righty, it plays like a dream (even flipped), sounds like the old MiJ guitars I used to own did. Weighs next to nothing (<3kg). Probably a '74 by Matsumoku.
Yeah, yeah, cut the blahblah, let's see it!

Very nice! She appears to be in excellent condition. Is the "trem" arm missing or just absent in the photo?

Thanks, there's a couple scrapes on her, bit of fretwear, nothing serious. You can tell that whoever owned this guitar did play it , just didn't play the heck out of it. Arm is missing... I tried a strat arm but that won't fit. I'll order out for a Jaguar arm or something, shall I?

There is just something timeless and classic about sunburst guitars. In my humble opinion, that is. :D
