I played the guitar probably six hours a day or more at the time, since I was still in high school. The frets on mine were severely dented after about two years.

I was thinking at first, 'Oh man, I'm going to sell this guitar.', but now it's a keeper. I never knew about what the wood was or anything, so I can't help you there. Anyway, HNGD!Īs for info on the guitar, mine has a similar serial number (would have to check) and was bought in late '95/early' 96 when I got my first electric. Looks a whole lot like my first guitar, except mine had a humbucker and a splitter switch instead of a second tone. This all took me a couple hours to get right. Also needed a shim so that action could be lowered. The string alignment was way off and just wouldn't respond to usual methods. I'm thinking 'What a piece of sh*t!' I had to put some shims around the sides and drill out the holes so I could adjust it. The big problem with this guitar was the neck pocket. Someone has replaced one of the pickup screws with a bridge screw which of course does not allow the pickup height to be adjusted and stripped the threads so found a screw and replaced it. The switch seemed to have short as it was cutting out in the bridge position but some De-oxit cured it. Seriously, there was a tortoise shell triangular pick in the switch cavity. Also a guitar pick in there rattling around! There was a rattle when I shook it which was a screw off the switch in the cavity. Aria Pro II did some copies of famous American guitars such as the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul though it also did its own style of guitars.

They're Japanese made (at least, I think this one is), and the serial number puts it at 1985(?). Pics of My Fullerton Aria Pro II Discussion in '. When I first saw it in person I thought it was very nice. Since it has the rosewood fretboard it may be a FL-20.
