Thanks for calling attention to this instrument. As you probably know, I like the Strat-type shape in general, but most are slavish imitations of the Fender dimensions. I'm a slim person, so if I'm going to go to a chunky (for me) body, I tend to go zipping right up to a semi-hollow 335-type.

The Aria has a reduced body, much like an AXL AS800/820 or Telluride EG3 -- full-size, but slimmer hips & shoulders, so the balance is excellent & the weight is cut as well. The AS300 seems to have the same outline; the 320 looks slightly bigger in the butt, but it's 24-fret with nice relief cuts.
