1984 Aria Pro II Herb Ellis model Electric Guitar24 3/4 inch scale, ebony board with super 400 type split block inlays, tailpiece is like that of an L-5, and it has the vara-tone adjustment. Pickups are stock humbuckers with braided wire, they're even soundings, and quiet. I removed the original knock off mini schallers, and put a set of standard German made schallers I had laying around to fix the tuning issues. They mounted without and extra holes. The correct replacement would me mini schallers, but these do the job. I'll included the originals with the guitar though they don't hold tune well. When I got this guitar it was missing the truss rod cover, and pickguard. I had some parts for a George Van Eps string damper, and put one together for this guitar as the way Herb did it. One tiny extra bottom hole for mounting. Pickguard is missing, otherwise it's all stock factory parts. Herb had an endorsement deal with Aria from the late 70's through to around 1990 when he finally got a Gibson deal. These were made during the bad Gibson Norlin years, and unlike many other B list endorsement deals, Herb used this guitar, and it was also employed by the late Emily Remler among others. These guitars were designed with a sound post brace between the top, and back to add stucture support, and cut down feedback. I have to say I was very impressed with how good this guitar plays, fast neck, good fret work, etc. Id put it up against any ES 175 from this era. Comes with nice washburn Hard case.U.S. buyers lower 48 (non PO BOX address) pay $50.00 shippingSorry NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
