Learn to play blues guitar.

Aria TA-50 in quilted maple. Picked up from local guy. The setup was way off and one of the tuners was bent. Other than the tuner it is in remarkable shape for a 12 year old guitar. I can’t find any scratches. Replaced with new machine heads and adjusted truss rod, bridge and intonation. It’s relatively light weight, comfortable to play and has a full, bright tone. Still trying to decide if I like it with or without the pick guard, but leaning toward with.

Congrats!! Beautiful guitar
We don’t see Aria very much here in the States but they make great guitars and the TA series has a long running history of great quality.
Personally, I think that the guitar would look good with a pickguard but one that is color coordinated to that finish instead of a black one
An interesting idea on the pickguard. Will have to think about that. There isn’t much information on these that I can find but this appears to be a TA-50QM. There is a listing on Amazon that these were sold around 2009 timeframe. Made in China but build spec appears to be quite good with a lot of embellishments. Think it’ll be a fun guitar.
