Up for sale, an Aria Pro II PE-85R electric guitar in excellent condition and in perfect working order, loaded with a pair of USA-made Seymour Duncan zebra bobbin humbuckers. An elegantly crafted spin on the classic LP design produced in Japan and rarely seen outside its country of origin, this PE-85R features a traditional tonewood combination with a carved two-piece figured maple top, mahogany body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard.
The body's ergonomic shape is very player-friendly, with heel-less neck construction, a belly cut, and recessed controls on the carved top. The replacement Seymour Duncan humbuckers comprise an SH-2 Jazz at the neck and a TB-6 Duncan Distortion at the bridge: the SH-2 Jazz neck pickup is full and bright with smooth sustain, wound in the mold of the classic PAF. The bridge position TB-6 Duncan Distortion is tailored for high gain and tight percussive riffs, retaining ultra-clear articulation for blazing-fast lead work. Weighing 8lbs 3oz, this Aria Pro II has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
