Aria FEB STD BS

I made this baritone guitar out of what I believe to be a 2005 factory second Aria FEB STD BS. If it wasn’t a factory second this guitar would be about $200 more. The reason for it being a factory second is a number of small finish defects and one fairly large one. I have pictured the large one where the neck meets the body by the fretboard. The paint was a bit rough and doesn't match exactly. I smoothed it out and it is now glossy and not nearly as obvious - before and after pictures below. The rest if the finish defects are not obvious unless you look very closely. Other than that this may very well be the best sounding baritone I have made to date. Sold - Thanks Monk!
