Version 2.2
Aria pro II RS inazuma II
Again a guitar from the famous matsumoku factory, this time a typical 80’s guitar, onle the than so populair
floyd or kahler misses but for the rest he has al the  charistics of a hairmetal guitar, complete with a bright
red metallic finish.
Yngie Malmsteen  used to play a aria from the RS series at the time when he was still a member of alcatraz.
The guitar has an elder body, maple neck, rosewood fretboard and a pair of mmk45 pickups these homebrand
pickups sound very nice and always have the possibilty to coilsplit.
And this was a thing they almost always did, the most uncle mat guitars with splitable humbuckers has this
function too, makes it a lot more versatile.
Whilst you had to mod any other guitar if you wanted this option , do it yourself or get a guitartech to do it, it
was almost a standard thing on their own design models, the copy’s were mostly made as close to the original
as possible so these didn’t had that split function.

Just a great smooth playing guitar, the neck is very nice,
has a sleak profile but not to thin, and the contoured heel also gives a nice feel whilst playing in the higher
regions he has some minor damages but nothing you wouldn’t expect on a guitar from almost 25 years old.
These guitars were build  only in 1985, this maes it a quite unusual guitar and interesting for Matsumoku
collectors.
Only downside of this guitar is the weight, it’s a heavy slab of wood, also the thread in the sustainblock is
almost gone so you can’t get the whammybar screwed in that tight as you want.
It was a bargain and i’m not sure yet if i keep him or sell it, because i’m not that fond about superstrats.
