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 continously 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.
Spectacularly beautiful quilted maple on the body top, PE-480 offers a broad distinction and higher playability. PE tradition of Heel-less cutaway neck joint and contoured body back are faithfully inherited. The original pickup “CPH-1C” is employed to generate a warm and clear tone. Dual sound switches enable you to select the pickups mode in “parallel” and “series”.
