1981 Aria Pro II Japan CS-400 Cardinal Double Cutaway (Heritage Sunburst)Japanese made by the Matsumoku factory in late 1981, the CS 400 was Aria Pro II's simplistic double cutaway model.

Factory loaded with a pair of Protomatic pickups (with a phase mini toggle) controlled by a three way selector and two sets of volume tone knobs. This one seems to be all

Factory loaded with Seymour Duncan SH-1n and SH-4 humbuckers

Heavily used condition with plenty of signs of wear and tear as pictured including a bent tone knob

Switch between three loops seamlessly with this Japanese boutique build

Very clean overall condition as pictured with light signs of wear

a locking nut and a double locking Lo-TRS tremolo

Nice sleek design

a very well constructed concert classical

Has the momentary LED and silver screw

Notched frets to accommodate the sensors in the neck (could be refretted if you wanted to convert it back to a normal guitar)

648mm scale length with a nice flat radius

Fast forward over 40 years and these models have found a new popularity outside of the Ralphs fan base as a rock solid DC beast

Tested and working well
