The old Aria guitar has the intonation of a kazoo, but it is bright and lively and so it is a lot of fun to play.
You won’t catch me playing in public anytime soon, but I decided I had to take up the guitar again because I needed finger exercise. I was starting to have some arthritic problems in my fingers from holding a drill or a grinder for hours at a time.
If all I do is practice running scales up and down the neck it will be a good thing for my fingers.
The guitar business has sure changed a lot since I got my first Silvertone flat top back in 1969. At $35 new, it was the cheapest guitar that Silvertone made, but I wish I had it to this day.
I couldn’t tell Floyd Rose from Axl Rose and I probably couldn’t tell a Japanese Fender from a Chinese Fender if it didn’t have the name on the neck.
Anyhow I decided to go to the guitar shop today and pick up some new strings and pics, and if they have something interesting hanging on the wall I might come home with a Chinese Fender.
Personally I’ve always liked the shape of the Fender Jazz Master the best of almost any guitar, but I’ve never played one before so I might look into that.
