Which Aria is this?

I think this one:

Aria pro 2 FA 70/BS

I have an Aria single floating pickup model. Not bad guitars at all. Somewhat heavy if its like mine.
Mine has a longer scale lenght. At least from the internet if its the right model this one is closer to a Gibson scale.

They tend to use decent but not very exciting pickups.

That price strikes me as a little high but not outrageous.

There is one listed in France for around 400 euros but that is an exceptionally good price.

"Unbranded" when it says Aria on the headstock. Some vendor.

I have the FA71 with neck mount floater. It has Aria on the headstock but not Pro II.

I think the one in the link is a bit older.

I have the same one you have. I wish the scale was a little shorter. I think its 25.5.

Its a little weired jumping back and forth. I can go from my 25's to the Aria but if I dont have a time lapse between going back to the 25 scale of my Eastman makes it feel like a little toy.

I also find the Aria taper a bit odd. Its smaller in the nut but gets wide quickly.

That's great. I thought he only played the FA71!

I think Jim Mullen sounded great playing the the Aria Pro 2 in the early 1990's at gigs, before his blonde FA70. See 4:28min in the video I posted above.

Wow hearing Jim Mullen not only playing with just his thumb,but channeling the likes of Cornell Dupree, B.B.King along with the normal Jazz Bepop abilities, Lovely!

I’ve seen Jim Mullen doing a straight blues/R’n’B gig. (He did sneak a few jazz licks in here and there!)
