1977 Aria Pro II ES800WR (a.k.a. ES 335) guitar transition headstock logo

A great guitar for rare pieces collectors, this late 70s aria es800wr (emulation of Gibson es335) is a great piece to own, 24 3/4" scale

it has transition logo on headstock that still contains original old ARIA logo with added PRO II also, body sticker already with well known aria pro II logo we are use to see,

great tone out of original PAF pickups, low action, straight neck,

guitar comes on a nice molded hardshell case along with a wine red guitar strap

neck nut just been replaced for a new one ;)

NOW, NEED TO HIGHLIGHT SAD STORY THIS GUITAR HAS BEEN THROUGH :(

GUITAR PERFORMS GREAT straight forward, LISTED AS seller refurbished BECAUSE OF THE FOLLOWING:

1- VARITONE switch is stuck, it will not turn, because of this, varitone circuit has been by passed from main system to allow pickups to deliver full output at main jack, but all items are there even coils under bridge pickup to reconnect system if switch can be cleaned and back to work by an expert.

2- related to same varitone switch, an access port (very pro done) was added to back of guitar with a very nice back cover, this is good because is easy to try to fix varitone and service pots and switch but some collectors will hate this done.

3- previous owner did mess up bad with complete body binding, I dont know why, body filler was used to compensate the lack of plastick that creates the binding, guitar works great but at closer look you can notice the "strange binding"

with all this mentioned we are clear to do business in case you are interested on this guitar, let me know if additional info or images are required, thanks for looking at my items, God blessings
