aria 1803T

A early aria(1971/1975) model 1803t, startlike with a offset body and unusual pickups, plays good and sounds full and creamy nice for blues and jazz.

bought this guitar in ugly but complete condition, he was painted in hammerite, even the neck, so it was a bad player.

Coming home and stripping it i discovered why they painted the neck, it has been broken, this was repaired sturdy but ugly, so i had to refinnish the neck too knowing these guitars only had clearnecks.

I prever to keep guitars as close too original as possible but there was no other way in this case, and the guitar was cheap.

The toggle switches neede replacing but further no issues on this one, he has great versatility in sounds.

I need to adjust the tremelo better now when i release it fast you hear a loud klunk.

I refinnished him in a deep metallic black, the metallic is almost not visuable but it’s there, very subtile.

Again a Matsumoku guitar in the collection.
