Up for sale, a 1980 Aria Pro II SH-800 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This rare Aria Pro II model was crafted at the Matsumoku factory in Japan, designed by their top luthier Nobuaki Hayashi (H. Noble) and boasting a pair of MH-1 humbuckers.
Weighing 7lbs 14oz, tonewoods include five-ply maple/walnut neck-through construction paired with carved/hollow ash body wings and an ebony fingerboard, yielding a rich, textured natural response with excellent sustain and articulation. The original pair of MH-1 humbuckers is big and bold; the bridge is biting and focused, and the neck is beefy while retaining detail. This SH-800 has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
- Wood: Maple/walnut (five-piece)
- Shape: Slender C, measuring .815” 1st fret, .890” 12th fret
- Fretboard: Ebony, 12” radius
- Frets: Medium jumbo, moderate wear favoring the plain strings on frets 1-3
- Scale Length: 24 3/4”
- Nut: 1 11/16”, brass
- Tuners: Gotoh, keystone buttons
- Serialization: 0-prefix, inked
Body Specs:
- Wood: Ash
- Pickups: MH-1 humbucker x2 (9.8k ohms)
- Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector
- Hardware: Supermatic bridge
- Plastics: Black ridged knobs, switch tip
The gloss Oak finish highlights the dynamic grain of the ash body wings, with a few small finish chips on the body perimeter and minor nicks and scuffs from careful use, largely on the bass side of the back. The smooth gloss on the neck profile has a handful of shallow marks.
A padded gigbag is included.
