Aria: 615 Frontier

Aria's 615 Frontier is a very wallet-friendly Tele-style guitar. Despite being conceived to appease the budget conscious players, it's a well-made instrument, not one to exude an upper class experience but enough to get a deserving recognition from discerning players.

So it's an easy decision for me after trying it at the store. I don't quite fancy the sunburst finish though so it shall make way for another hue. The arrows & circled holes were not defects but they were indicated for the person who's refinishing it for filling. I have other plans in addition to the new coat of paint :-)
