Vintage 1970's Aria Les Paul Lawsuit Era Black Beauty Made In Japan MIJ with Hardshell Case

This vintage Aria Les Paul is modeled after the late 60's to early 70's Gibson models and has a similar headstock shape. There is no serial number but it probably dates from the late 70's. The body is in good condition overall, but has some small dings, scratches, and scuffs. Nothing out of the ordinary for a vintage guitar and there are no cracks or structural issues.

The neck is straight and the frets show average wear. It's in excellent playing condition and has no major issues. The fretboard and back of the neck are clean and have no major dings or worn areas. The headstock has a few small nicks around the edges, but no cracks, repairs or extra holes. The nut is 1.67" wide, the neck measures 0.82" thick at the 1st fret and 0.93" thick at the 12th fret.

The hardware and electronics are original and in excellent working condition. It comes in the original case which has some general wear on the outside. All of the latches, hinges and handle are in excellent working order and the interior has no bad odors.

Actual weight is 8 lbs 5 oz.

Please note that I do not set up my guitars before mailing. I have played it and everything is great as far as I'm concerned, but you may need to change the strings, adjust the action or do other maintenance to get it to your preferences.

I list some of my items on both eBay and Reverb. In the event that this item sells on both marketplaces before I can take the other listing down, I will honor the first sale and refund the second. There will be no exceptions to this!

I do not use A.I. to write any part of my descriptions or edit any of the photos.

SHIPPING

$85.00 for UPS Ground. This is only an estimate on the high-end and will probably be less if you are close to the West Coast. I will refund any overcharge if there is any left over beyond the postage and packaging costs. I mail all of my guitars inside guitar boxes and pad with biodegradable peanuts. Local pickup and payment in cash are available, so feel free to contact me if you're local and want to check it out.

TRADES

I am a dealer and am not looking for any more gear for myself. I may not be able to offer much credit on a trade since I'm buying to re-sell. With that said, I will only consider in-person trades due to shipping costs and taxes. Please do not contact me for a trade unless we can meet in person.

OFFERS

I price my guitars as low as possible and don't consider offers, so please do not ask for a lower price!
