The Aria Pro II XR guitars were popular in the 80s for their good value for money, but that is no longer relevant. The guitar was made in the famous Matsumoku Factory in Japan, with excellent quality.

My specific guitar clearly shows the past 27 years (photos attached), but it is technically perfect. Some people just love relic instruments - I am one of them - I find it beautiful because of it.

IMPORTANT: its five-way selector switch needs to be replaced, and the fretboard could use a lemon oil cleaning, the tremolo arm is missing, and the plastic cap of the selector switch. The frets are still very playable!! It's an incredibly good guitar, sounds with a very well-matured tone, I would mainly recommend it for rock music. If you want to buy a good instrument, I would recommend this one (a good quality selector switch is only 3-5 e HUF), no case included!

Price: 50,000 HUF

Trades, haggling, and other attempts do not interest me, as I have everything and still own 6 guitars…
