Gumtree has sold me some more junk. This time it's an unloved jazz by Aria.
However, I'd never had a jazz before, and it seemed to be intact so money changed hands.
Just spent an hour cleaning her up, replacing the strings etc. Decided to remove the white pickguard too.
Seems to have very light fretwire, almost like a mandolin. Not quite what I'm used to, but playable nevertheless. A ham-fisted setup will happen shortly.
If anyone can tell me the origin (China, Korea, Indonesia probably) I'd be obliged. Pictures if anyone insists.
Plugged in it is a really nice thing! Great tone and way more character than I expected. Thanks Gumtree!
