Anyone have info on this older Korean made Aria 335 type?

It's an Aria Pro II TA-I and supposedly weighs around 8 lbs. It's selling for an attractive price with a case.

That is a descent guitar, Aria has been around since the 70's and were made in Japan till the late 80's, later on were made in Korea, although some higher tier models were still being made in Japan. I played the Aria "Herb Ellis" model for years, and it sounded as good or better than my ES175. I never even had to change pickups...



Cheers,

Thanks Arnie. I decided to give it a shot, either for me or for a student. It should be here in a few days.

Decent guitar. I‘ve played the same model but with the Bigsby style vibrato in the 90‘s.

I bought this one (TA 40) used and changed the electronics and put in two Seymor Duncan Seth Lovers. Now it plays and sounds great!

I still have my Herb Ellis and it's better than a number of 175's I have played.
