1981 Aria Pro II 1959 Les Paul "Leopard" Lawsuit Replica Sorry, this guitar is Not for Sale
|
These Aria Pro II models win my "bang-for-the-buck" award, as they are still relatively unknown to collectors of
Japanese guitars and so the prices are still fairly low, although they sound and play and are built every bit as well as
most collectible Greco and Tokai guitars. The pickups are, I believe, Aria Pro originals, and sound very PAF-like,
and are so good I am confident you'd not even think of swapping them for any other pickup type. This one has great
jumbo original frets and a straight neck, and so has many, many years of playing ahead. It has very little wear for the
age and is a well-balanced Les Paul style guitar whose quality and craftsmanship are hard to match. It has a nice
thick neck that is hard to find with superb contours and feel. There are no issues with this beauty and it comes with
the gig bag you see in the last photo.
