Here are some more information for Pickup Original:

Aria Guitars are quite an interesting lot of instruments. They often come in colors that you can't find anywhere else and most things about them are unique, right down to their shape. They use Duncan pickups, custom Humbuckers and many times, Wilkinson Tremolos, all of which add to their dramatic and unique sound as well as their quality.

With a vision for setting Aria Guitars apart from the rest of the world, Shiro Arai, the company's founder has approved many forms for his guitars, leaving the public with a great variety to choose from.

That intense amount of variety that Aria offers allows these guitars to be used by just about anyone--rockers, hard rockers, etherial musicians, goths, jazz players, metal heads, the list goes on. The PE Gothic guitar, for example, is delicately painted a satin black and is equipped with black hardware. It's not without it's lovely features, however, as it sports 2 Duncan Designed Humbuckers. But if you're looking for tradition, Aria has that, too in their STG Vintage Series. These straight forward guitars feel like they are straight out of the 70s or 80s and have a decent sound and great looking body.

 

History of Aria guitars

 

The Aria line was formed in Japan by Shiro Arai in 1953. It originally began as Arai and Company while it was a retailer in acoustic guitars through the early 60s but Shiro wanted more for his name.

In 1964 the Arai Company began to manufacture their own guitars when Arai asked the famous luthier Matsumoku to build him some under contract. They started out with acoustic guitars that year and added electrics to their list just 2 years later in 66. By this time they were making guitars using the Arai, Aria, Aria Diamond and Diamond brand names and the line of Aria guitars was officially renamed Aria Pro II in 75 to squash the confusion amongst consumers. Arai's success was almost instant and the legend moved forward from there.

 

Aria Today

 

Despite the usual "untuned" quality and must-replace strings that Arias display straight out of the factory wrapper, Aria guitars, especially today, are held in high regard amongst musicians. Many Aria guitars are made from solid wood and, to the pleasure of the public, they are not dipped or coated in plastic paint. Most often you will find an Aria made of solid wood that has been beautifully stained or properly coated in lustrous color.

714-CST: The 714 is an excellent example of the Aria signature stained-wood look. This beautiful piece of equipment is made of an Ash body with a Maple neck and Rosewood fretboards. It's also 22 frets of incredibly unique sound, a Duncan Designed 102 single-coil Humbucker pickup and volume and tone control, of course. The hardware is also chrome and it sports a Wilkinson Tremolo.

SB1000RI: The SB series (Solid Body Bass) is making waves because the public has been asking for a lightweight SB for a long time. The original neck-through body is a welcome plus for this guitar and allows easy access to even the highest frets. This guitar is equipped for the average body but will make bass players with small hands very pleased. The SB is made of Ash, Maple, Walnut and Ebony. It's 24 frets with an MB-1E double coil pickup.

DQ-NYE: Modeled after the original design of once well known luthier James D'Aquisto, this archtop electric sporting 22 frets, an original "floating" style Humbucker pickup and a volume and tone control on the pickguard. It is a beautiful, well made representation of the original.

The Pickup Artist Community

What is a pick up artist? If you missed the last two seasons of VH1's "The Pickup Artist" and Neil Strauss' award winning book, "The Game", you may not be familiar with the term, but pick up artists, or PUAs are they are often abbreviated, are a quickly growing worldwide phenomenon.

To put it simply, pick up artists are men who've dedicated their lives to getting better at picking up and sleeping with scores of women. Sounds a little misogynistic, right? It definitely can be, but there can also be many benefits to being a part of the pickup artist community and living the PUA lifestyle.

The pickup and seduction community originated in the late 90's, thanks to the power of the internet. The first pick up artists were guys who met on a usenet group (an early version of web forums) called alt.seduction.fast. Basically, this group became a place where guys would go online to swap tips and tricks on how to pickup women at bars and night clubs, and how to get laid. These PUAs shared "field-reports" of their time out picking up women, and helped critique and improve each other's technique.

Gradually, these first PUAs began to get better and better at picking up women, as they went out every night and practiced what they learned on women in bars and nightclubs. One of these men was Ross Jeffries, a dating "guru" who used the tactics such as NLP and hypnosis in order to succeed with women. Ross went onto form one of the first pickup companies, where people paid him money for his products which helped get them better with women.

Another early pick up artist was a magician by the name of Mystery, who used magic tricks and flashy outfits to attract women in Los Angeles. Mystery was the first guy to hold "bootcamps", where guys would pay Mystery money to have him teach the fundamentals of pickup artistry, then go out into the "field" to practice their techniques on unsuspecting women.

One of Mystery's star pupils was a journalist who went by the moniker "Style", and Style eventually went on to become one of the most successful pickup artists and eventually founded his own pickup company called the Stylelife Academy. He also published a New York Times bestselling novel based on his experiences, called "The Game", which helped to put the pickup community out into the mainstream.

Today, the pick up artist community is exploding, with hundreds of thousands of men all over the world studying the techniques and mindsets of seduction, in order to improve their success with women. Much of the seduction community gathers online on pickup forums, much like the original alt.seduction.fast, where they post their questions and advice. There are also groups called "pickup lairs", basically groups of guys who get together in the real world to help each other out in developing their skills are pick up artists.

The seduction community has also become a lot more commercialized over the past few years, with dozens of pickup companies springing up around the world, looking to make some money from desperate guys trying to get better with women. There are now hundreds of ebooks, audiobooks, and DVDs that men can purchase, that teach guys how to become better with women, and there are also many companies that offer live programs for improving your game.

So the once underground seduction community has become a lot more open in the past few years and many men have become a part of it. There are many factions and methods within the pickup community, but if you dedicate yourself and practice, you too can become a pick up artist and improve your results with women.

how do I reset the computer on my 2002 silverado 1500 pickup?

My original battery was recently replaced and ever since, my speedometer, tachometer, message sender light, gear shift indicators and gas gauge work for a time then quit. If i disconnect the battery and reconnect it, they will all come on when I start, but if I turn off the engine and start it again, they may not come back on and I have to disconnect the battery to get them working again.

disconnecting the battery for more than 30 seconds is enough to reset the ECU. It sounds like you might have short in the electrical system or a malfunctioning control unit.

Decision gets trashed
The highway department has switched to the one-day delay holiday trash pickup schedule for the rest of this week.
