Any knowledgeable guitar people in Sydney?

Post by aardvark »

I'm after an acoustic guitar. Since I'm on a limited budget, and I don't want to buy a piece of shit, I'm looking for a good quality second hand one. I've found one in Sydney, it's an Aria AW75 CE.

Just wondering if anyone here is in Sydney, knows about guitars and might be able to check it out for me? And, if it's any good, buy it and send it down to me at the GP?

Just how cheap is this second hand one?
My Anonio Lorca classical only cost $350 brand new - it's more than decent.

If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Thanks for the offers guys, but I've found a better deal a bit closer to home.

It's a nearly new Yamaha F310. $130. I think they are about $299 when new, so I'm not complaining.

Steer clear of the arias they are massed produced and the quality is ....mmmm
Suggestion from a mate that repairs them is to try the lower range fenders they have a better quality check in the production method and less probs :D
yea but i just got engaged!!
The thumb screws are tightening eh........ Neka :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
