One
of the sweetest 335 clones I have ever had, quite possibly topping the
JazzStrad! The pics on eBay of it were kinda iffy, but I could see enough
after enhancement that the hardware appeared to be tarnished. Not a big
deal, but when I got it, there was more corrosion than I had thought. The
upside is the body was near mint! I think I have found one ding, and just
a touch of scuffing, probably from it's obvious many years in the case.
The tailpiece and all the rest of the hardware save for the bridge were
salvageable, which gave me an excuse to order a Schaller Roller bridge
for it. I have to admit it does for the most part fit the guitar. I'll
let the vintage freaks tweak on it.

As
you will see from the larger pics, it really cleaned up nice, and the tone
is absolutely fantastic. For many years I have wanted an Aria Pro II TA,
but the ones that previously passed through eBay went out of sight at the
end. This one was listed 3 times, starting with a BIN of $750 which I laughingly
ignored, then $650 and passed again with a chuckle, and last at $400 which
got my attention. A gamble, yes, but this one paid off tenfold!
