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.

pretty good looking clones

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

hey phil that's me.

surprised they've not been POWERlawsuitSLAMMED for that, given the headstock.

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

it will be a good furniture if it's a shitty instrument.

cool i await an demo

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:

Fernandes 1: Fernandes 2: El Maya: Fresher: Gibbon: GuitarsRUs 1: GuitarsRUs 2: Hisonus: Navigator: Thunder: Watson: Westminster:

Love the neck on that Watson. I would love to find any of those in a pawn shop.

It's not a photoshop. The guard is really like that.

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.

totally. I can't figure out why though, comparing it to my mustang everything seems to line up. weird.
