I have a PE1500 (owned from new) and a TA50 ES (bought second hand in France five years ago), both of which are excellent and make me a committed fan of Aria guitars. I've now seen an old Aria accoustic on EBAY (the UK site) which is badged inside as an "OW 25 Made in Japan". I can't find this model in the gallery and so I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Is it any good and worth bidding for? the current bid is just £1.30 (about $2.60 at today's exchange rate!) so I ought to have a go. However, my current accoustic guitar is an Ovation Balladeer (US made model), so I'm not interested in something that plays like a length of drfitwood. Anyone got any thoughts?

For $2.60 you can't go wrong.

If the pics look half way decent go for it.

If you win it let us know if it is a winner :)

It's now looking like $130 plus postage with a couple of hours to go on the bidding, so we'll see.

well done, glad you like the sound, the feel will come as the sound grows on you. D-Adario x-light strings sound really great on my 35 (all i use on it)

enjoy
