Vriese in Doetinchem goes into the closure sale (that is, there is a sign "closure" but there are a lot of B-stock guitars hanging between them without it being clearly stated on the card) and we go and see if there is anything nice. Apart from the B-stock, there are still a few nice guitars. Not everything is reasonably priced, but this Aria Pro II manages to attract our attention. The Honey Burst has a very warm color and the golden hardware goes well with it. With the mother-of-pearl edge in the binding and inlays, it is simply a very pleasant picture, especially for a Les Paul-esque model that we let hang more often than look at. And if it also turns out to play nicely and gives good sound, we suddenly have a new type in the collection.
