Not Sure About A Gibson L5?? Try This Great Vintage Archtop Instead! | Jazz Guitar Review

- In this video, I show you an awesome vintage archtop that is a great alternative to a Gibson L5 but costs thousands of dollars less. This is an Aria Pro II, and it has the same dimensions as an L5. It is actually a copy of a Super 5. This one was made around 1977, so it has a vintage feel and looks, on top of a fat jazz sound. I recommend these to my students who are thinking about getting an L5 because it is always good to see if you are comfortable playing on a guitar of this size. Let me know how you like the sound! Please leave me a comment, and thanks for watching!

I have to say that I love your playing. You make any guitar sound fantastic.
I remember the Aria Pro II's from the 70's, and man were they ever well crafted guitars! They even had some signature models such as the Herb Ellis archtop. I would gladly get one should I ever come across one. Thanks for doing these great reviews, demonstrating how the guitars sound with your wonderful playing... as best as can be heard over RUclips. Cheers from Canada.
Those Japanese instruments are fantastic. I remember an Ibanez one in blonde in the early days. It made an impression on me.
Superb playing.
You make it look effortless as well.
Amazing.
I just purchased an Aria Pro ll FA70 in wonderful condition for 500 bucks. Just needs a good cleaning, restring and setup. I’ll be working on it this weekend. Such a great looking and sounding guitar. It’s a 1997 model. Hard to believe it’s that old for how great it looks.
Congrats!! What a great find!! They are really nice guitars for the money. Join us on Thursday morning at 11:00 am PDT for our live show and let us know how it plays after you get it all ready!
I own a Herb Ellis Aria Pro Ii. Great guitar! They made some special instruments back then
Hi Rich, hi Wes. Thanks for doing what you do, and thanks for showcasing the PE-180.
I use a 1976-77 model as my main axe and can vouch that they're really great. I use the ebony bridge rather than the tunomatic for a woodier sound. Really great guitars.
Yes, Aria and Yamaha made nice hollowbodies! Epiphone Broadway is very similar made in Korea and Japan too. Thanks for all your insight, reviews and playing....I just found an Epiphone Broadway made in Korea, 2012. I've never played an early '50s L-5 but I doubt the Epi sounds as good strictly acoustic, but electrified through the HBs, yeah, I bet it feels and sounds pretty close, within $14-20K anyhow! Haha.
Nice guitar. Great playing.🤩
Rich, I'd love for you to review the recent D'angelico exl-1 someday
Nice solo !
Beautiful guitar!
You didn't mention it or include it in the sales listing on your web site but the model number is PE-180. It sounds really good and back then they were made by Matsumoku, which had a rep for quality. You might want to check out a video called Blind Tone Test L5 that compares an L-5, a PE-180, and an Epiphone Elitist Broadway. It's short and fun and has a follow-up vid called Blind Tone Test Unveiled L5 with longer playing samples to see how you did (I got it right). I thought the L-5 had the sweetest sound but it was maybe 5 percent better and considering the difference in price your PE-180 is a great deal.
Funny that you mentioned Samick cuz, as I mentioned a couple weeks ago, I recently bought an Aria Pro II FA-70, their later L-5 copy, which was made by Samick about 20 years ago. It's not quite as fancy as your PE-180 but I like it a lot and got it for a song, so to speak - 1/4 of what you're asking for the PE-180. It sounds good, plays good and makes me happy so imo I hit the guitar trifecta plus a bonus prize - the satisfaction of getting a bargain.

@@RichSeversonGuitar Thanks for the link. I saw it already and thought you might want to include the model number. :)
Do you think that these Arias or the Ibanez 2460 lawsuits were more like an l-5?
Great tone and even better technique, sir. Question? Are some of these laminate in construction? Shally
All those are laminate spruce tops
@@patrickevelyn8028 rims/back laminate maple, I assume? Still compared to ES175 they represent solid value these days, if in decent shape. But they are larger guitar ( (17” vs 16”) I would assume
@@shallyshal1 yes Maple laminate b/s
17 inch lower bout
Sounds like a L5! 🙂
A laminated top !! Laminated back & Sides ??
What strap are you using 🤔?
LM bass strap
Hi Guys
