Aria Pro II Cardinal Series CS200 Japan 1983 - electric guitar
Our users rate Reverb
For sale solid 80s guitar, an Aria Pro II Cardinal Series (MIJ - Matsumoku), also known as a Japanese Gibson SG ;)
Rather massive body with beautiful dark-brown wood. Two humbucker pickups, a 3-way switch, tone and volume knobs, a fixed bridge, and tuners that hold their tuning well. The frets are in good condition and don't need polishing yet. The fretboard shows only slight signs of use, not particularly noticeable. The guitar sounds fantastic in any genre – cleans are a masterpiece, and distortion is a powerful kick. The action is set to a very pleasant low setting, and the strings are probably a set of 9-46 – it's incredibly comfortable to play, and harmonics are easy to pick out – you can really feel the quality and Japanese precision when playing this guitar.
It's good to know that Kurt Cobain (Nirvana) once played an Aria like this. If you care about quality over brand, want to stand out with an original guitar, and also want to have a solid piece of Gibson-like equipment at half the price of a Gibson, I recommend you to buy it.
