Aria Pro II PE-R80 Made in Japan Electric Guitar Ivory White
This guitar is a great example of the distinctive design and craftsmanship that made vintage Japanese Aria instruments so highly regarded. The compact carved-top body, aged cream/ivory finish, gold hardware, and dual humbuckers give it a unique look that stands out immediately.
Just cleaned, restrung, and professionally set up here at Japanese Guitar Company. It is currently playing great with low action and an easy, fast feel up and down the neck.
This one definitely has plenty of cosmetic and player wear throughout. There are scratches, finish wear, oxidation and patina on the hardware, and general aging throughout, but nothing that negatively affects the functionality or playability of the guitar. It has clearly been played and enjoyed over the years and has developed a lot of vintage character in the process.
The Richie-branded tremolo bridge and Aria Research & Development Lab markings are especially cool period details that add to the distinctive character of this vintage Japanese-made PE-R80.
