Description
ARIA FET-F1 features a flamed nato top with an open-pore finish, the sides and back also being nato. A Vintage looking guitar with the double F holes giving it a clear nod to an archtop type guitar. The 21 fret nato neck with rosewood fingerboard was an absolute pleasure to play and the neck size was very similar to that of an electric guitar, making things very easy going, which is ideal for any genres of players. Aria original AEQ-4 (4 band equalizer & guitar tuner) is fitted to customize the tone.

How much is this guitar, and why aren’t there any prices on any of the guitars?

Just bought this guitar in a music shop here in Ireland, I simply fell in love with it as soon as I saw and played it and bought it there and then. I love the 1930s jazz look and sound, the two f-holes, etc. It plays really nice, not loud unless it’s plugged in, that’s when it really come alive! It’s light and the action is super low and the neck very thin, which make it like an electric guitar to play. It has a built-in tuner and a graphics equalizer to get the sound you want. Me, I use it mainly for jazz and blues but it sounds good when playing country or folk music, too.

I can’t play guitar and one of the stumbling blocks as a novis is tuning. The AEQ-4 built in tuner solves this. A LCD swing meter guides your tuning of each of the 6 strings. But there’s more, it also copes with alternative tunings (I didn’t know as a novis) such as Open E. The display show the note and the meter shows the precision. -50 to 0 to +50. I believe the -50 would be a Flat note and the +50 a sharp. Having this builtin aid, helps me enjoy learning and allows the guitar to sound lovely. I haven’t named it yet but I should as it’s a keeper. I think Lucy has been used!
