Aria urchin Pro 2 in white

buddywr11

hi guys I have the above guitar which has been sat in my dry loft for many many years and was going to throw it away but looks like it's quite a rare Japanese made guitar.
serial number 2091322 it hasn't been played for years but the body and neck are in very good condition with just a couple of small paint chips on the body.
it was only played for a couple of years then stored.

my question is is it worth anything if I tried to sell it?

thanks all.
Paul

They have their fans here and there and certainly Aria have made some nice guitars . The prices don't go into huge amounts from what I have seen but respectable .

The Urchin may be a bit marmite in that some will love it and others not - in the same proportion that feel the same for the BC Rich Bich

Some photos would be nice to see however

I’ve almost bought one several times. Still wouldn’t mind one.

As @FelineGuitars says, they’re a bit marmite and don’t fetch a fortune.

Solid colours are generally less desirable than examples such as this:

Certainly do not throw it away. It will be worth something to someone.

I think with a little careful planning they could've managed to fit a few more switches and knobs to it.

Trying to outdo B.C. Rich, methinks.

I've actually got an Aria pro 2 Iron Man standard I'm going to try and sell as well I think  in black.

@Bridgehouse - What do you mean, "will"?

Could you imagine trying to find sort that lot during a gig?  Just as your big solo comes up?

"One down, two down, three up, up, up, down down down up.  Ah yeah, that's the one.  Hang on, be with you shortly, just got to find the contact cleaner.  You lot play on, just nipping to Maplin."

Joking aside, Aria have made some decent guitars and this certainly makes a change from another period-correct Nocaster reissue.

Wish my loft held things this interesting, all that's up there at the moment is not quite enough insulation to meet regs.
