Bubinga Ariel For Sale

Bubinga Ariel for Sale

Isn’t this sweet? A perfectly standard Ariel , except that everything is different.

Figured Bubinga back and sides, Chocolate Cedar top, Ebony bindings with delicate red and black purflings, three piece Mahogany neck , again with red and black lines. Ebony fingerboard.

The Ariel has become a Classic design, it never disappoints sound wise, and offers much more than you might expect from such a small guitar. This one looks and sounds gorgeous.
