1983 Matsumoku Factory ARIA PRO II PE with All original USA Kahler Installed From the Factory! 
This is a Very RARE and the more desirable Full Thickness Body! A Full Thickness body simply Means it has No Belly or hip Carve in Back Making this particular PE More exactly like a Les Paul than all other PE Models! The Non-Weight Relieved Mahogany Body with Solid Maple Fully Carved Cap has Killer Deep Curves Reminiscent of a Les Paul Custom!! The 4 wire MMK 45's have been set-up by Aria with each having their own Coil Tap switch. THESE ARE DESIGNED BY ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS FROM ARIA TO BE SILENT OPEREATION COIL TAPS AND SOUND INCREDIBLE!! THE QUALITY OF TONE FROM THIS BEAUTY WILL BLOW YOUR MIND! THE 2 MINI TOGGLE SETUP ON THIS BEAST WITH SILENT OPERATING COIL TAPS IS SIMPLY A MUST HAVE WITH THIS PARTICULAR GUITAR! MAKING ANY LES PAUL SOUND LIKE A TOY IN COMPARISON! YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO STOP PLAYING IT IT SOUNDS SO FN GOOD!! (why would he let go of such a killer sounding Guitar??? You ask.... because I have another one for me!!!!) Now get your own!!! All setup... tuned up.... and locked in!! Note this is one of Kahler's very 1st Production "Patent applied for" Trems it is a Very Rare ALL SOLID BRASS version! with even rarer Solid Brass String hooks!! This is Guitar History at its best!! What a Machine! This black beauty is clearly not weight relieved but is perfectly balanced and feels and plays incredibly at close to eleven pounds!! Can't say enough about its build and tonal qualities, one of those guitars that is so good it makes you sound even better playing it!!


Original vintage c 1983 Aria PE-R80 custom in glorious black beauty finish, with all gold appointments, and fancy pants USA Kahler tremolo system, as found on its Gibson contemporaries. I give the edge to the Aria however, with superb craftsmanship and playability, absolute top of the line Japanese artistry. She ships in her original hard case, pictured. Enjoy!
