Hey guys just checkin in on some remarks,totally agree on the quality and sound of these guitars ,I,ve owned a few over the years,various copys ,les paul,etc,all around a good instrument for the value ,but i just got a smashed Aria 12 string I,m rebuilding almost doneto perfection,but zi think someone rlaced the beck along it,s journey,because of two conflicting serial #,s on punched into the face bottom of the 3rd fret 3-8271 and the body serial number reads 6715?? Wierd or what or a serious factory miscalculation,.The neck was twisted practically right off and out of it,s seat from falling on the road driving truck ,while moving,quite a job rebuilding snd reinforcing thr block and busted cross ribs thst surround it,so I ultimately glued snd screwd the parts back together to make sure there was to be no more comprimize ,so basically the once all around adjustable neck ,can only be tweeked by the core rod in the neck ,food for thought,but I most definately wouldnt waste my time refurbishing an instrument of this catistophic measures, if I didnt think it was worth it,after filing the frets and sand and set the bridge,"voila" sounds and plays like the heavy hitters,rock on guys ,thanks for reading
