This is a no-name Japanese guitar, most likely built around 1975, during the so-called “lawsuit era.” Despite the absence of a logo on the headstock, I strongly believe it is an AriaPro II. I really love this guitar, very well made with a lot of character. Keeping the original parts, I made a few modifications: the nut was replaced with a Gotoh, as well as the tuners . The original pickups were no longer working, so I had them replaced by a luthier with Dominger humbuckers.

C’est une guitare japonaise sans marque , probablement fabriquée autour de 1975 , pendant la période dite du "Lawsuit era”. Malgré l’absence de logo sur la tête . Je pense fortement qu’il s’agit d’une AriaPro II . J’adore cette guitare . très bien finie avec du caractère . En ayant conservé les pièces d’origine, j’ai effectué quelques modifications , le sillet a été remplacé par un Gotoh, ainsi que les mécaniques . Les micros d’origine ne fonctionnaient plus, je les ai donc fait remplacer par un luthier avec des humbuckers Dominger.

    It looks great for a 50 years old guitar!
    Also the pickguard placement over the pickup rings looks very interesting

      The original pickups were no longer working, so I had them replaced by a luthier with Dominger humbuckers… Thanks, it definitely has a great vintage look.
