I recently had the pleasure of acquiring a recent Aria Pro II PE-F80, which I first encountered at this year's NAMM show. The quality of this guitar genuinely impressed me, offering a playability and feel that rivals its more expensive Japanese counterparts, but at a much more accessible price point. Its performance exceeded my expectations, providing both an exceptional tone and a comfortable playing experience. This model stands out as an excellent choice for those looking for professional-grade instruments without the hefty price tag.
