1980 Aria Pro II Rev-Sound RS-600H Vintage Neck Through Guitar, Black w/ Seymour Duncans & Case, Japan Matsumoku

Up for sale, a 1980 Aria Pro II Rev-Sound model RS-600H in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced at the Matsumoku factory in Japan, this Rev-Sound Aria Pro II features neck-through construction with a seven-ply maple/walnut neck, ash body wings, and a notably dark rosewood fretboard, upgraded with a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups.

Lightweight at 6lbs 15oz, the neck-through construction offers excellent natural sustain and resonance, faithfully captured by the Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB humbuckers. Duncan's original hot-rodded humbucker, the JB delivers a low end that’s full and powerful, highs that are crisp and detailed, and an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords and translates to a singing, vocal-like quality when playing single notes or solos. The two-way Mix Sound mini-toggles brighten things up with single-coil-esque sparkle when engaged (not a coil tap; both coils are still engaged). This RS-600H benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
