My little brother just gave me an Aria Pro II


Recommended Posts

Because he's never used it after he got it for Christmas from our Dad 5 years ago.

Someone explain to me if this is a good thing as I know squat about guitars....

I'm stoked! Jimmy Page, watch your back.:P :notworthy: yea right....

That guitar used to be advertised in he back pages of every Circus magazine from the lates 70's onward! :D I always thought they made the pro II look fantastic, although the company was better known for making copycats of popular models at the time.

All I can say is I've never seen anybody playing an Aria brand guitar, but hey, anything is good when it's free! I'm sure it's a decent quality beginner-intermediate player electric guitar, and with guitar it's more about the hands than the guitar quality.... EVH stood the world on it's ear with what was essentially a POS! (Replicas of the POS are $25,000 now..but that's another story!)

I'd say you= Score!

I am pretty sure his guitar wasn't a POS. Sure it was kinda ugly and in rough shape, but had some awesome components, like the pickup in it that is worth more than 99% of guitarists whole gear collections, and that was before it was in EVH's guitar.

The PAF certainly helped shape his tone, but the rest was in his hands....and yeah that guitar was a POS. A POS with a 5000.00 pickup, but a POS all the same. :D

I believe that was Ed's point.
