For sale is this beautiful Aria Pro II Goldtop in near mint condition. This guitar was manufactured by Samick at the same factory they produced Epiphones at in Korea (all of the hardware in these are the same as Epiphone too). This was just after Matsumoku closed in 87’ and Aria moved production of the LS Series (among others) to Korea. 


No serial numbers were on these guitars, however the Open Book headstock was only used at this factory from 1988-1990 (source: https://samick.fandom.com/wiki/Headstock_Styles#Open_Book_Headstock_3) 


These were made to be sold in Japan ONLY at the time, luckily it found it's way over here at some point. It's setup currently with 9s and how I like playing it best, it's very fun to rip on with the slim-style neck. Frets are in amazing condition, truss rod works great too as I have it setup with a little relief (just how I like my guitars typically).


Comes with a hardshell case (pictured) The handle is ripped off but replaced with some rope!


Send over offers, trades, etc, I am open to those. The only blemishes on the guitar are pictured and on the back of the body, this guitar has barely been played!


Can meet in the Philadelphia region too!
