| 1981 Aria Pro II LP-900 "Leopard" 1959 Replica Solid Top Les Paul Sorry, This Guitar is Not For Sale |
This guitar is the Aria Pro II Leopard #106032, wow! Take a look at the photos, it's really a great guitar, fantastic woods,
beautiful all the way around. This is one of Aria's higher models, first of all it has the two piece flamed maple cap, perfectly
matched. The back is Honduras Mahogany and I could not find a glue joint even under high intensity photographic
lamps, so I venture to say it must be a one piece back. Fretboard is bound Brazilian Rosewood, check out those photos
it's simply stunning. Please take a note, that you'll only find fretedge binding on the highest quality guitars!
Cap it off with a superb Cherry Burst Nitro finish and you have a fantastic guitar in every aspect. It only weighs 8.7 lbs
too! Of course this model has the deep tenon joint as well. Condition is 9.5 out of 10, the only ding I could find was on
the top of the headstock, barely visible.
Now to the playability and sound, I loved playing it, the Aria sounds like a Les Paul should and plays that well too! I said
this in another description recently, we've been very lucky lately, getting guitars that not only look great, are in great
condition, but play and sound great too. This is a real bargain for a fantastic guitar that made in the U.S. would cost 3 or
4 times as much.
