The Aria Pro II PE-F80 is a budget friendly version of "PE-R80" which was originally launched in 1980. The PE-F80 inherits the genuine elegance of what "PE-R80" offers such as strong curved body top with recessed control knobs and switch, cloud shaped fingerboard inlays, heel-less cutaway neck joint while contoured flat body back is reducing the entire body weight.
The history of Aria Pro II was started in 1975. The first PE model of PE-1500 was released in 1976 and since then various PE model guitars were continuously produced and been played by earnest guitar players all over the world including Neal Schon of Journey, Gerry Cott of Boomtown Rats, Andy Summers of The Police.
Aria Guitars have been at the forefront of Japanese guitar building for over 60 years, which means a wealth of experience and acquired expertise. The core value remains the same today, to constantly strive to achieve a higher level of excellence, quality and value for musicians.
