AriaProⅡ/MK-1800WA

owner: Shin

2020.1.12: I bought this guitar at a store that sells vintage guitars.
I went there once and couldn't remember where it was. I was walking around and happened to find the store for the first time in a few years.
It has a through neck construction, but there is a mysterious crack in the paint where the set neck joins, but other than that it is in good condition.
The frets are worn but still high enough, but the nut feels high.
Please search the blog for more details about the instrument.
I would consider it as top of the line based on the catalog and PU.
I assume the strap pins and escutcheon have been replaced.
2020.2.26: When I took the instrument to the workshop for rewiring, I asked them to check if the body material is really walnut, and they said that it is probably maple because they are sure that it is colored by looking at the burrs.
The reason for the cracks was that the body is a pancake structure and the cracks were at the joints.
May 12, 2020: After about two and a half months in the hospital, the electrical components were replaced with current ones except for the preamp and varitone switch, and the frets were fretted to a level that would compete with modern guitars.
The phase switches were changed to series/tap/parallel effects for each PU, as they are not used nowadays.
The PUs have been potted and the resonance is better.
Compared to the circuit before the work, I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the wiring and the margin for the battery space.
I replaced all Varitone capacitors with current film capacitors by myself.
