Aria: STG Mini

I just reached home, was at Davis GMC to pick this up: Aria's STG Mini. It's junior-sized, sporting a 22.1" scale length but it's the wrong weight for any juniors to be slinging one.

I'm definitely into the pickup combo here; a humbucker & single coil are all I need, it's been my preferred configuration of late. Due to its rather hefty nature, this guitar doesn't sound wimpy, the alder body is solid all round.

That headstock looks very Pacifica-ish. No issues with the default tuners but those strings trees are better off replaced.

I have seen their line up guitars at Davis, and was eyeing the $185/- dbl humbucker (all black) for a project guitar (wanna try barknuckles on cheap guitar), but then suddenly there was doubt (between this guitar or SV's bullet at $199).

Now, since you've bought this it shows, I have the confidence to go and get it man...

it had come a point that i never second guessed a brand name for its quality. we have every right to be skeptical but do not be dismissive of performance by virtue of brand name.
