It is a newer model than the one in the pics above but shares a lot of the features if you look them up. I have an Aria 714 series which I bought off ebay, very cheap, not so long ago. It's more of the equivalent of a 1994-1995 Squier Bullet which, again, isn't a bad guitar. I just don't think that's a Matsumoku-built one. I dig the Japanese stuff and the Japanese-like stuff. If I saw it hanging at Guitar Center for $70 or $80 and it was in very nice condition, I'd have bought it and I have a bunch of nice guitars. Not trying to be a negative nancy at all. I know it has some sentimental value, but it's definitely not worth much. I don't know that I'd pay $100 for a full pro super excellent setup. If it's mid-80s to the very early 90s, they may sound just fine. The pickups are likely very unexceptional if the guitar is from the mid-90s. The bad: the tuners may not be very good, it possibly has a soft plastic nut that might be a challenge to work with. I dig the 'not quite a strat' looks: the shape of the body and the headstock, the pickguard, the output cup pointing the 'wrong' way. Having said that, it could still be a very decent guitar. It won't be listed on the Matsumoku site because it isn't a Matsumoku guitar. I'd have to guess the guitar wasn't made in Japan either. I haven't read up on them in many years, but I was thinking that that version of the Fullerton series guitars were from the mid '90s and those tuners and saddles tell me they weren't made in Japan. Hope you can shed some light on the guitar and what I can do to get it playing right, considering it's been on the shelf for 29.5 out of the last 30 years. Does anyone have any info or experience with these? From what I can tell after a cursory search, they're Japanese made (at least, I think this one is), and the serial number puts it at 1985(?).
Haven't opened it up, and wouldn't know where to start. I'm sure it needs a going over inside, though. So 20 years later, it's dusted off and making noise again! It looks almost new, the only mark on the thing is a bit of tape residue on the back. It was handed down to me in the mid 90's, but I never got into it either. I'm a complete beginner, been at it since November, but really enjoying the journey The story is that it was bought for a cousin who never played it, sometime in the late 80's. My first post here, so I thought I'd share my guitar. I have aria pro ii viper series vp-60, serial # 912299 Is this 1991? I was able to locate the serial and model numbers.1st the serial. Here's my 1995 Aria Pro II Fullerton Strat copy FL 05 hardtail. (There is no serial number or model number anywhere on my guitar).
