Called the Thru-the-body or Quick-hook bridge design. One unique feature is that the bridge can either be top strung or body thru. Finish has a deep gloss that brings out the wood grain. Guitar has mini switches for coil-taps and reversing polarity for the two Protomatic V Humbucker pickups. Matsumoku made Epiphone guitars from 1970 through 1986. They manufactured instruments and parts for many companies like Wasburn, Yamaha, Norlin (Gibson) as well as Aria. Starting as a woodworking and cabinetry maker, later making quality guitars. Its an Aria Pro II for sale in my area and on the back it has a little label TA65WR also more info on guitar is PJ Marx and Pat No. Matsumoku Industrial was a Japanese manufacturing company in Matsumoto, Japan, between 19. Hey I was looking at a guitar for my brother and don't know much about guitars and was hoping you guys and gals could help. Although, this guitar is an SG style guitar it is not at all a copy. Aria Pro II made several “copies” of US made guitars like Strats, Les Pauls, SG, etc. Later after around 1987 production was moved to South Korea. Early ones from up to the mid 1980s were made in Japan at the Matsumoku factory and are higher quality.
Sold under different brand names like Arai, Aria, Aria Diamond, Diamond, and Arita logos over the years.Īria Pro II was used on electric guitars from 1975 to the 1990s. Under contract with Matsumoku, started manufacturing acoustic guitars in 1964, and then electric guitars in 1966. The higher-end Aria guitars made in Japan by Matsumoku during the mid 1980s are nice guitars.Īria was formed in Japan in 1956 by Shiro Arai as Arai & Co., Inc (later Aria). The Aria set neck model is a much nicer guitar in my opinion. Aria also offered the CS-Custom and CS-Deluxe later on 1984-1985. The top-of-the-line CS-400 has a set in neck type with carved top. The less expensive CS-200, CS-250, CS-300 and CS-350 models had bolt on necks and a flat, but contoured body.
