Found this on a gumtree jaunt, might be one for @harryseven or @JookyChap - http://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/legend-aria-perspex-acrylic-electric-guitar/1116488013

Happy to pick it up and send it on if there's any interest.

Those Aria Legends are very heavy and not very good really. Good concept, poorly executed.

It's a shame they made the jack side-mounted rather than pickguard-mounted like a proper Jazzmaster, too - it's really ugly being able to see the recess like that, totally ruins the look.

Totally agree, such a great looking thing, let down by so many little things.

I like the look of them, but have never played one.

What are they like?

Like 2 70s LP customs heavy....

Looks like an X-Ray.

Be fair, only about one and a half .

But yes, *very* heavy, easily more than a typical heavy LP.

It's a shame no-one seemed to think about how do do them right. If they'd used a pickguard-mounted jack, toggle switch in the right place, drilled the ground wire hole through into the pickup cavity instead of straight down towards the volume control and used a more opaque pickguard, they would actually look pretty decent.

HarrySeven

Well, I must confess a fair degree of lust for that...never paid much attention to them previously...

I can think of much worse ways of spending £150.

Good move, I was thinking of messaging them, but don't want to if another forumite is!

Why on earth make it with such a large body silhouette when weight was always going to be a problem?
