RE: [SurfGuitar101] Re: Aria Diamond guitar

Hi Gavin,
Thanks for the heads up, well the guitar is in excellent condition and I
think it is a Model No. 1532T.
The seller asks 125 Euro's for it. So I guess it's a good price for this
guitar?
The trem arm is missing, but that's all.
I'm not a collector, so I don't really care about the value. I just
don't want to overpay such a guitar.
Thanks,
Jerry

I went and looked at the Aria Archive (check www.ariausa.com) and found
the following references to the Diamond solidbody line.
I have an Aria PRO II TA-70, an ES-335 clone, and have followed Aria
prices for some time. It's my experience that most Arias, no matter the
model, go for $175 to $300, with the exception of a few PE models, which
are more expensive.
The better guitars were built in the late 60s/early 70s, when Aria was
trying to go head-to-head with Fender and Gibson in the US market.
Today's Arias are not of the same high build quality as the early ones.
I like Arias ? mine has excellent build quality and tone, and is as
solid as they come, especially for its age. And I got it for a
song...$200 on EBay!
