$85 ebay guitar.

[zeegler]

Here is my Aria Pro II CS-350. I got it from a guy on Ebay for $85 including shipping. The body had a crack which I explained to the guy could be a serious problem, and that's why he had no bids on his 4th day of the auction. Opening bid was $75, with $25 shipping. So I offered him $85 shipped if he ended the auction. When I got it, I promptly glued the crack, replaced the abused machineheads with a nice set of old Schallers I had in my parts box (free), put on a new bridge ($16 Canadian), new set of strings($6 Canadian), and completely rewired it.

This thing is awesome!! The neck is exactly the same as my friend's Les Paul Standard, and the MMK 45 pickups are supposed to be exact copies of Dimarzios, and they are fantastic. I already knew about the pickups, because I have a CS-400 with the same ones. I took this guitar to rehearsal on Sunday, and my other guitar players took turns hogging it from me.

I forgot to put the backplate on for the pics.

By the way, the body is ash, and is nice and light. After 5 hours of rehearsal, my back wasn't killing me for once.

Nice score! It looks way nicer than any Paul, IMO.

Nice guitar Zeegler! and you can't beat the price!
I just scored a Jap made Vantage flying Vee copy for $125.! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I thought the head stock looked fimiliar, kind of a thinner Les Paul shape, and talking to a friend of mine that owns a music store about the Vee, he told me that Vantage guitars were made by Aria.
This guitar has the same shaped headstock as your guitar with a Gibson style Vee body. Very Cool!!
