Have you guys seen these? (Legend / Aria Mustang clone)

Post by Phil O'Keefe »

Someone over on HC posted that, and I had never seen those before. At that price, it would almost be worth taking a gamble on one - if they export them.

Anyway, I'd never seen those before, so I just thought I'd pass it along in case some of you hadn't either.

i'm wondering if those necks are true 24" (610mm) or the conversion style (a la jagmaster/squier duo sonic..)

Something about the body looks slightly off. Like, squished.

I plugged 17800 yen into a converter and it said $233.31 American dollars. Either way it's cheaper than a real Mustang!

Kind of expensive if it's a piece of shit, if it's good then it is a pretty nice deal. Very interested in a review.

I remember a while ago I saved a load of photos of good mustang copies. Might as well post them here again, they are pretty interesting:

Aria's a well-known brand and most of their stuff is at least decent, so I doubt you'll be getting a piece of junk. Please do let us know how long it takes to ship and what you think of it when it arrives - a Mustang for $250 sounds really appealing - even if it's a clone. :)

I so wish these came lefty. I'd buy one also. I can't find any lefties on their page though. I just sent an inquiry hoping for a better response than the bullshit Fender wrote back to me when I asked them about left handed models.
