| My first *acoestic* guitar, this Aria, model 6810. I bought this at Euromusic in Apeldoorn for about 160,00 euro's. This guitar has been a part of my life for more then thirty years. The neck is super class, as is the sound. Because this guitar is so good, I have never felt the need to trade it in for a more expensive model. Nowadays it goes with me to every show, so I bought a very good gigbag for it. This guitar shows a lot of use and perhaps because of this, it became a very personal instrument. | |||||||||||||||
| This guitar does not have, unlike the normal western guitar, a heel, but the neck just sort of goes over in the body, where there is a piece of wood which keeps it together very well. | |||||||||||||||
| Aria has been building guitars for a long time. Sometimes with more succes then other times. Aria actually does not really have a great name for great guitars. Evenso, you find them reguraly, both acoestic as electric. I have never seen this one somewhere else. | |||||||||||||||
