Description:
Very cool 1985 Aria Pro II RS Knight Warrior in a perfectly aged white finish that has yellowed over the years. The RS (Rev Sound) series was Aria Pro II's Japan-made competition to Ibanez mid-70s and 80s lineup, and were made at the venerable Matsomoku factory. These guitars are loved for their unique features, and this one is no exception.
Three "blade" style pickups are all original, and sound great. Very strat-y in the single coil modes, and plenty of 80s hard rock tones on tap. Double locking tremolo keeps tuning solid. Most of the Knight Warriors you come across will have the Kahler Flyer trem system (which can be a pain to setup), but some have the more traditional trem that is present on this example. It is Aria branded, and has locking blocks on each saddle. Very simple to setup, and stays in tune great.
Tested 100% fully functional. Comes with a nice hardshell case. Very good condition overall. Paint has faded and yellowed, and has a few chips and dings from normal use. No breaks or repairs. Frets are in great shape, and the truss rod works freely in both directions.
As always, this guitar has been treated to a brand new set of strings and a deluxe setup here in the shop. That includes a full fret polish, setting neck relief / truss rod, dialing in nut slot height and string action, setting the pickup height and more! So, you can rest assured that it is playing its absolute best!
