RETRO-1532

I was trying to find out what type of concrete wood the aria legend I got free was made of, and stumbled across this (sorry if itâ€™s been posted before) which I thought was pretty cool in a (as the name suggests) retro sort of way.

Why donâ€™t we need them and whatâ€™s too sharp?

That is beautiful. What with it being an Aria though I'd have to play one before I even considered buying it.

we don't need them cos they are too sharp. the shape is too sharp. we need rounded shapes. the world is too pointy.

I want to try it. But I don't know if I really would want it. Seems to be a non correct reissue of some "vintage" cheapo. Better get the original for about 100 $â‚¬Â£ and burn it on stage ...

But sometimes its better to be next to some rubbish cause then people will have a look at both and say "oh that's alright"

Those pickups look like Iron gear Alchemist 90s. They are P90s in a humbucker format. I had a pair on a Tokai Les Paul... they were great.

I actually found an Aria 1532 for sale but it has 2 switches instead of 1 toggle . Could it be an earlier model ?

I like it. It looks like an Ibanez wearing a Jazzmaster.

Love it, always wanted one of the originals and this looks fab too.

You know what, i'd rather play one of these than a fucking Blacktop Jaguar. If we are gonna fuck the Jag aesthetic up lets fuck it up good and proper is what i say. P90's are a big win, headstock shape is a huge fail.
Aria is decent stuff, although no doubt it is 'intermediate player' quality as most of their stuff is these days.

I have a silly question . Are Arias still Japanese and made there or did they sell out and built shop elsewhere like just about everyone else ?
