WOW, I didn't think anyone even remembered the 80's Aria Pro IIs anymore. I bought a white Aria Pro II RS Special-V Strat back in 1983 for $500. It was my first REAL guitar. (My Magnums didn't count). I wasn't a big fan of it's tremelo. Seems like anytime I used it, it went out of tune. The neck is narrower than most guitars, but I didn't notice it since it's the only thing I played for like 2 years. I have pretty long fingers, so it made it little difficult for me to play at times. (Just thought it was the partying in the 80s - LOL) I used it to play metal, so I swapped out the bridge pickup for a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail which made a LOT of difference. Of course, like a lot of us, eventually we realize that the garage band will never make it out of the garage, and we have to put our guitars down and get a real job. You know, life. But that doesn't mean we have to sell what makes us happy. I STILL HAVE THAT GUITAR & still play it. 37yr old guitar and still looks and feels as good as the day I got it. Every once in a while I go online looking to see if I can find someone selling one like it, just to see if it's worth anything, but I never find anything. Oh well, even if it's not, it still has a lot of worth to me. (Unless its worth like $1500, then it's up for sale - 😄) I'd post a pic, but I don't have a URL image, just a jpg. Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you all. Thanks for your time. Love to hear any comments you might have, if they are nice ones. PS- Added pic after posting
