50 dollar guitar...

Hcash · 01-29-2008, 09:52 PM

I just bought a guitar from my friend for $50.00. It's an Aria Pro 2. I bought it to fuck around with. I've already taken it completely apart and started sanding the neck and body. I'm about to apply a coat of tung oil to the neck. I'm going to need some help figuring out what kind of bridge to put on it. Because there is no way that the original bridge is going back on there. That was the biggest peice of crap ever. Anyway, here are a bunch of pics:

Delightfully hideous, and a worthy project

I hope to pick up a hideous beater from a pawn shop or something and fix it up some day.

I look forward to seeing progress

APII's aren't so bad. I've sold several, and if you get round the awful visuals (and in this case, AWFUL bridge

) they really aren't bad little players. And no one will begrudge you that $50 pricetag (besides the seller, perhaps!

)

Lemon oil that sumbitch, though.

Ya that wins the dirtiest fretboard I have ever seen

Sweet score what ya going do with it? Just refinish it?

*cringe*

That fretboard is dreadful...

I like the holes in the plywood, my Rogue is like that

bostjan · 01-29-2008, 10:04 PM

Sweet! Looks like quite the project.

Hcash · 01-29-2008, 10:05 PM

I'm not to sure what I'm going to do with it. It needs a new humbucker, and definately a new bridge. I'm going to put the old single coils back in it but not hook them up. (Never needed anything except the bridge.) I'm thinking about trying out those Steinberger gearless tuners. But it says that 60 is the max guage you can put in it... Metal humbucker ring, brass nut, killswitch, and maybe one of those EMG PA-2's eventually. But I'm thinking I might just half-ass sand the paint off and then clear coat it... It's going to be my beater. But that isn't very original. Give me ideas!!! Stitch, do you know what kind of bridge I could throw in this bastard??? It definately was the dirtiest fretboard ever. Shall I mention the glue they didn't sand off around the inlays. Yeah, it's plywood...

How about something late 80's/early 90's looking? Like bright colored patterns or something?

It might be a bit of work, but that guitar would kick ass with a Kahler.

Hcash · 01-29-2008, 10:17 PM

Good call... My brother and me were thinking about a a purple burst with gold flake. lol.

That fretboard is disgusting. $50 bucks to mess around with isn't bad though.
