5/31/2023 0 Comments Aria pro ii ta 50 vsIn the mid-1990s a few models (including the Fender Stratocaster-inspired Fullerton series guitars and the Steve Bailey 6-string fretless signature bass) were made in the United States. It does have some blocks under the bridge to support the bridge + stop tailpiece. It has a great neck profile, and is fully hollow, so it is like an ES-330, except with humbuckers. All guitars were made in Japan until February 1987, when production of less expensive models (Magna MAB/MAC and Integra IGB series) was switched to Korea ( Samick-factory production actually started as early as May 1986). Here is a very nice 80s MIK Aria Pro II TA-40 in excellent condition. The Aria brandname was changed to Aria Pro II in late 1975, though this has been used mostly (but not exclusively) for electric guitars and basses. Arai and Matsumoku started building acoustic guitars in 1964, and then electric guitars in 1966, using Arai, Aria, Aria Diamond, Diamond, and much less frequently, Arita brand names. Aria arranged for Matsumoku, the musical instrument maker, to build the guitars for them under contract. They began retailing acoustic guitars in 1960, although the company did not start manufacturing their own until 1964. Aria was formed in Japan in 1956 by Shiro Arai as "Arai & Co., Inc".
