(SOLD) Aria Pro II Magna Series MA-10 Green Burst 1992
Aria Pro II Magna Series MA-10, made in Korea 1992-6, trans green burst. The Magna series were an early 90s 'superstrat' style offering from Aria; there were several varieties in the line offering various hardware combos. This one is one of the more Strat-like, with a simple trem and a cute HSS pickup set. It's got a handy little fast-playing neck, somewhere between an Ibanez RG-style profile and a vintage style Strat; it's easy to get along with and will suit those of us with smaller hands. The body is light and lively too, it's a comfy and fun guitar to hold and play. The green finish is fun, it's definitely got a ceratin 90s charm to it and the faded gold hardware adds a bit of gaudy steez to boot. The tone on deck is good too: crisp plonky Strat-style tones from the neck and middle pickups, with a decent dose of crunchy grunt from the humbucker in the bridge slot. This punches very hard for the dime and is sure to put a smile on your dial.
