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 it’s been posted before) which I thought was pretty cool in a (as the name suggests) retro sort of way.



RETRO-1532

do want.

and not to sound like a certain round headed man but Do We Need Em?

no we don't need them. too sharp.

Why don’t we need them and what’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 $€£ 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.

yse, they are made by artec and sold under a different brand names.

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.

I think that's great; really like it.

i think it looks like an ET-270 when seen on laughing gas.

YOU GOT A FUCKIN' DART IN YOUR NECK

HEGH HEGH, YUR CRASY MAN. I LIKE YOU, BUT YUR CRASY.

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 ?
