Description

Great sounding guitar, loud with clarity, very good bass for a laminate top. An early model with a cedar top (from what it looks like and from what I read on the net). Also has V bracing instead of the typical X bracing, which I have only seen before on another early Aria orchestra model. Added Jescar gold EVO frets (harder than nichel silver) leveled crowned and polished. Slightly tapered the braces through the sound hole for more bass response. Slim neck, plays like an electric. Added a bone saddle and nut, ebony pins and filled the adjustable saddle slot with an ebony inlay. The original adjustable saddle comes with it. Added an Oak shim to increase saddle height and adjust action. Filled finish cracks with CA glue and wet sanded at least a third of the finish off to improve sound and remove most of the scratches. Looks great, plays great.
