Circa 80s Japanese Aria Pro II RS Classic in Cream

A standout example of Japanese guitar craftsmanship from the golden era of MIJ production, the Aria Pro II RS Classic from the early-to-mid 1980s offers vintage tone and feel at a fantastic value. Made during a time when Aria was producing guitars in renowned factories like Matsumoku, this model showcases the brand's dedication to quality and innovation.

Finished in a warm Cream hue with tasteful vintage appointments, the RS Classic features a contoured double-cutaway body, typically made of alder or maple, matched with a fast-playing maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The guitar is loaded with Aria’s proprietary single-coil pickups (often with a hum-cancelling dummy coil or middle pickup), offering crisp cleans and funky articulation ideal for everything from blues to '80s pop and beyond.

The 5-way selector switch, reliable tremolo bridge, and smooth-action tuners complete this vintage shredder’s toolkit.

• Body: Likely Alder or Maple (double cutaway)

Condition:
In good condition for its age, this guitar shows expected cosmetic wear — small dings, surface marks, and light finish fading — but nothing that affects its playability or tone. Frets remain healthy, electronics function well, and it plays cleanly up and down the neck. A true sleeper vintage gem for collectors or players seeking unique character and classic MIJ mojo.
