From its unique "frame body" made of removable aluminum support bars to its original one-piece stereo microphone bridge, the new Aria Sinsonido (sin-so-need-oh) AS-490S is all about innovation. The uniquely designed six steel-string electric guitar barely tips the scale at just over four pounds, but its hard maple, 20 fret, one piece neck and body provide a big sound and solid feel.
Created with the active guitarist in mind, the new Sinsonido is built for practice, portability and performance. The three piece frame body quickly pops off to fit in the compact soft case, perfect for traveling. When not riffing in private, using the guitar's own stereo headphones, the AS-490S feels right at home on stage plugged directly into a standard amplifier as well as in a variety of other venues; plugged into any mic or CD input on a boom box, Karaoke machine, computer speaker and more.
A nine volt battery provides hours of playing time thanks to the switch jack that "turns off" the active internal circuitry when the plug is removed. An original one-piece bridge pickup provides bright, natural sound qualities with exceptional acoustic tone in stereo through an amplifier or headphones. The pure, unadulterated tone makes the AS-490S especially suitable for plugging into today's popular amp simulator effects boxes.
The Sinsonido's full size neck includes an adjustable truss rod and the instrument also features separate volume and tone controls.
Complete with headphones and a padded carry bag.
