1981 Aria dread. This is not one of the (many) cheap-o Aria's. This is one of their best all solid wood guitars. I bought one in 1981 and loved it. 35 years later I tracked one down and bought it. It had some ugliness and staining to the finish so I refinished the top (the body has some small blotchy discolorations).

I played it and it's as nice as I remember. The only issue is that, being older, I find big dreads less comfortable and have switched mostly to small 000-size guitars.

The best feature of this guitar is the playability of the neck. I believe this is a better, more comfortable, neck than even my Taylors.

This guitar has a solid cedar top, solid mahogany body (not laminate), rosewood fretboard and bridge, ebony bridge pins. I bought a new hardshell case for it.
