Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought my Aria AD-80 on eBay 5 years ago and although I knew I was getting a "nice" guitar by the spec sheet I never imagined what a beautiful, collectable instrument I was actually getting. The guitar was alright out of the box but sounded a little commpressed and flat to me as well as needing the normal new guitar set up. The look was no disappointment at all though! What a beauty! The MOP inlays are sweet without being gaudy and the back and side woods are as nice as any Martin I've ever seen (speaking of Martin this is a D45 copy, I believe, and you would be hard pressed to tell the difference blindfolded). The solid spruce top may be a bit plain but, with the abalone inlay around the sound hole and the entire binding of the guitar, it just sparkles. The gold tuners not only look rich and fit the look of the guitar, but they work perfectly. After about six months of playing the guitar I noticed one day that it was just coming alive and the sound opened up adding bass, treble and a ton of dynamic range! It sounded so good that I have done some upgrades to it because I intend on keeping this one. I had a K & K pickup added (a three transducer system that sounds awesome) and I replaced the original string retainer pins with solid brass "Tone Pins" with abalone inlay that increase the amount of sound the string transfers to the bridge and then the sound board and just add to the good looks. You cannot find another guitar in this price range that can compare! BTW - I paid $550.00 for mine and am not surprised at the price they go for now.
