where to buy aria pro guitars..

[jumbofret]

subjective. many believe that a blot-free construction enhances sustain as the guitar effectively resonantes as a single unit, but there are too many good sustaining blot-on units which puts this belief in limbo...

True. A set-neck construction doesn't really enhance sustain.

Er... If memory serves me correctly, Aria has the heel-less set-neck joint on some of their high-end models? That innovation has been around since the 70s... I remember seeing it on the US website a long time ago... Does Ranking/Excel sell these guitars?

Here's the US website: http://www.ariausa.com/index.html

that should read 'bolt-free' instead. typo...

 

[bin4christ]

wher is excel?

 

[theblueark]

Excel is the company that runs Ranking and Music Theme.
Ranking is at Bras Pasah near Swee Lee.
Music Theme is at Peninsula near Davis.

 

[bin4christ]

oh so ther's no shop called excel right?juz a company tt runs the 2 shops...

but ranking sells stuff cheaper than music theme...

 

[theblueark]

Yes I noticed that before too. Maybe it's the rent.

It sounds like you are describing Davis.

Beats me, I thought he meant Ranking sells stuff cheaper than Music Theme. Haha! Typos and blurry eyes.

The malay guy is friendly, nice guy. Ya Ranking is quite a friendly place, I've been there often to try stuff or ask questions without buying and they always happy to help.

Don't be afraid of the tatoo guy in Swee Lee, he's one of the most knowledgable guy in Swee Lee, if not the most. Last time I wanted to buy a Hipshot Tremsetter, I went down to the shop a couple of times and know one knew wtf I was talking about. Until I emailed then he replied and asked me to directly look for him.
