Ah! I have the baritone version of that! I like it a lot. I had some SD pups lying around and I swapped them out.
I was a bit annoyed when the "vintage white" turned out to look a lot more like beige in real life but I took to it with sandpaper and "relic"ed. Looks quite good! AMAZING value. And it's one of the few 30" baritones I've seen (they're usually 27-ish inches)

Once you have the experience and know what you like, there's plenty of good guitars out there.
This is one of the benefits of being old.
I agree but the fingers are getting old too ! ................
Not to mention the brain...Sheesh!
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
What I want to know is, when is the Aria Pro III coming out? I had an Aria Pro II in 1987, so nothing has changed…and what happened to the Aria Pro I?

Most of the $400-$1000 so called entry level guitars I’ve played have been really good, when you get down to sub $200 it starts to get a bit hairy like cheap tuners and plywood etc but I think even then if you know how to do a basic fret job and setup most can be turned into gigable guitars.
One of my favourites to play at home is a Vintage V6 Strat which cost me $300.

Legit. Most value is to be had in the 400-800 range these days I reckon if you're looking for very good entry-mid level model.

Wow I would love to see a pic of it
I'm still sanding bits and pieces though.
