I guess we should not be surprised when Eastwood came back out with the reissue
of the Univox Hi-Flyer. So now, Aria has decided to step into the ring as well with
their reissue of their copy of the Univox Hi-Flyer copy made by Eastwood which are
both copies of the Mosrite Reissues of the Mosrites........

Uh...

You lost me. What I can definitely tell is that Aria have reissued their Diamond Mosrite copy though. Looks like it has a Stratocaster style tremolo which means good opportunities if you want to replace it with a Stetsbar or Trem King.

At least it's getting the Mosrite shape and vibe back out to the mainstream. These will probably show up in GC's and SA's.

Hey, I didn't think about that. Nice! They are cheaper than Eastwood's version too, I just hope cheaper doesn't mean a decrease in quality. Maybe I'll pick one of these up if I can get one for $200 or cheaper, Could be a good modding opportunity.

Not a bad looking copy ... Better carves than the Dillion or the Eastwood. And for $300?? May definitely get people interested in the Mosrite history of these guitars ... I like the Seafoam Green ...

Yea, Aria Diamond Mosrite copies are also available in Finland. Here the list price is EUR 269,00 which is really really cheap - and cheap ofter goes with low quality. However, a guitarist in the band of an old finnish punker-rocker is using one of those. They are quite popular and the guitar must be in a serious professional use.

Might be worth checking out.

Considering Aria also makes the Wilson Bros and Hitchhiker guitars, this really isn't a shock at all.
