Aria Pro II RS-X70
Aria collectors rejoice! We're over the moon to offer for this super clean RS-X70 for sale. Built in 1980 when APII was approaching the peak of their powers, the RS-X70 is a premium electric guitar with enough tonal variety for even the most ardent of tone chasers.
Sporting a 2 stage 18v (that's 2 9v batteries for the mathematically impaired) preamp that offers both a clean boost and a distorted boost that will really knock your socks off. There's independent controls for both boost stages plus coil splits and phase controls for the pickups.
All this clever tech sits on a beautifully made instrument; neck through Maple/Walnut/Maple construction with Canadian Ash wings finished in a gorgeous Padouk Red.
