Very cool and increasingly hard-to-find Aria Pro II PE-R80 Richie Kotzen signature model made in Japan.
This guitar absolutely screams late ‘80s / early ‘90s Japanese shred-era craftsmanship. The compact carved-top body, cream finish, gold hardware, and dual humbuckers give it a really distinctive look that stands out immediately.
Just cleaned, restrung and professionally set up here at Japanese Guitar Company. Currently playing great with low action and an easy, fast feel up and down the neck.
This one definitely has a lot of cosmetic wear and honest player wear throughout the guitar, exactly what you’d expect from an instrument that was clearly loved and played over the years. There are scratches, finish wear, oxidation/patina to the hardware, and general aging throughout, but nothing that negatively affects the functionality or playability of the guitar whatsoever.
The Richie-branded bridge and Aria Research & Development Lab markings are such a cool touch and really make this feel like a true period-correct Japanese signature model rather than just another generic import guitar.

These higher-end Japanese Aria models continue getting more attention as players realize how incredibly well-built many of these guitars were during Japan’s golden manufacturing era.
A super vibey vintage MIJ player with tons of character and a killer look.
