Aria EA200 thoughts please?

marktheharp

As above could be interested in a 70s model .I believe it to be Japanese. What's the neck thickness like,shape etc.?and are they fully hollow,semi hollow?I have been informed the neck is straight and electrics work.but would probably have new pickup ,wiring loom,switch  and Jack socket replaced..are they worth it and what's the 2nd hand pricing on these?
Thanks in advance. 
Cheers Mark.

Japanese, semi-hollow I think - I don’t think the centre block is full-length, but it’s not fully hollow like an ES330/Casino as far as I remember.

The neck will be skinny, I’ve never played an older Aria of any description that wasn’t, compared to other similar guitars.

They're rare enough that accurate pricing will be hard to find, but I would expect £300-£400 will be in the ballpark if it’s in good condition. A rewire shouldn’t change that, the stock electrics are nothing special.

Thanks ICBM.  Sounds about right. Just wonder how skinny is skinny ! Ha
 I get on with most necks so think it's worth a punt...
