In addition, the purfling and position markers appear to be made of natural shell, and they sparkle beautifully. The meticulous construction of these parts, combined with the PE's traditional heel-less joint, gives it an extremely luxurious appearance. The mahogany used for the body and neck doesn't seem to be the flimsy material commonly used in current production models. This model was planned and manufactured during a time when the Aria Pro II brand, which had lost some of its high-end feel after the heyday of the late 70s to early 80s and the closure of the manufacturing company Matsumoku Industrial, was trying to revitalize itself. However, it didn't sell very well, and it's a relatively rare model in the used market. ◇ Although it doesn't have an arched top like the original PE models, it has contouring on the elbow area and the back of the body, making it easy to hold. ◇ Aria Pro II's PE models were a major force in the 70s as domestically produced original guitars, and various models have been produced since then. Among those numerous models, as far as I know, this is the only electric-acoustic guitar type. ＊The rest of the product description exceeds the character limit, so it will be posted in the comment section.
