$$$ Professionally Set Up and Dialed in for Immediate Rocking. Truly Stage or Studio Ready/Worthy! (Fret work, Action Set, Truss Rod Adjusted & Intonation is Spot On)


Top tier quality straight from the famed Matsumoku factory in Japan... This superb Aria Pro II ST-600 Strat build was produced in 1977. They imitation is the biggest form of flattery, but Fender wasn't too thrilled with the high quality '50's-70's Style Strats clones coming from Japan. In fact they started the American Vintage Reissues in 1982 due to the popularity and demand for the true classics that made them famous to begin with. So in fact the Japanese were largely cloning/copying//paying homage to the vintage guitars before their American counterparts (Including Gibson and even Martin) It features an ash body with a beautiful U Profile maple neck and has a timeless sunburst finish with that killer '50's aesthetic. It sounds every bit the part with a trio of well balanced, smooth and warm single coil pickups, It delivers plenty of chime and spank.

This vintage baby continues to play and sound exceptionally well and still has rock n' roll mojo oozing from every pore. She's was well loved and taken care of and has typical handling and play-wear marks... no deep gouges or nasty marks. Just killer looks and sweet sounds. It has a few dings on the back of the neck as well. Everything can be seen in the pics. Some things might be reflections. It has been professionally setup for optimal tone and playability. Get ready for a new go-to favorite... This is one vintage beauty you won't soon be putting down!


It has just been professionally set up and dialed in for optimal tone and playability. It has low action with no buzzing or dead spots and is an absolute joy to play. It has been deep cleaned and detailed. All guitars will arrive looking and playing great. The frets have been leveled / dressed / polished and the fingerboard was cleaned. (Unfinished Rosewood and Ebony boards get treated with Fret Doctor - a proprietary all natural oil that is the best on the market) It has brand new strings, the action was adjusted, the intonation is spot on and it plays excellent. All the electronics work flawlessly.

Simply put “good enough” isn’t good enough for The Guitar Dude’s standards and we try and make every guitar be at its absolute BEST to deliver on our promise.

Terms For Returns & Re-Stocking Fee’s


We recognize and accept a 7 day return policy as per Reverb guidelines, BUT intentions of the return must be communicated in writing within 3 day of receiving the guitar as indicated by the tracking. Unless the guitar is not as described, ORIGINAL & RETURN SHIPPING COSTS INCURRED (NOT CHARGES) WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. There is a 10% Re-stocking fee for ALL guitars that are returned for ANY reason outside of damage from shipping or it arrives not as described. Please note that we record demo videos to make sure our guitars go out exactly as we describe them with zero issues. We understand that feeling comfortable is vital to the purchase of a guitar/bass so in any case, additional measurements or in hand descriptions are available prior to purchase/shipping. Thats said, guitars travel a great distance some times and in transit things can happen. Also guitars acclimate to new environments and this can cause a need for a new set up or minor adjustment. It is acceptable and normal if there is for instance a tiny bit of buzzing or the need to adjust a truss rod. We are in south Florida and if you are in a colder or less humid environment it is almost to be expected. Please read our feedback and see what our customers say. The guitar MUST BE RETURNED IN THE EXACT CONDITION it was advertised/received or it is subject to additional costs & or repair fees. We are not a big chain shop, I hope you understand. If you are uncomfortable with these terms please do not purchase. There are plenty big chain shops that can absorb free trials and shipping.
