Of course , 100 % original, just the other can not be. But this is clearly not a simple Сardinal. In this and all the value of this guitar .

I was just kidding, I know it's Japanese.
I've been a fan of Aria Pro II guitars since 1980 and I've never seen this one. Some models were only available in certain areas so I was curious where you are. I know nothing about models available in or around Russia.
I'm a big fan of the CS guitars. I own 3 and have designed/built my own guitar based on the CS. But, they just don't have a big following nor do they command a reasonable price. Even with the rarity of this one, don't expect to get rich off of it. I'd love to have it but I don't buy guitars anymore.

Definitely gorgeous! There were variations on models intended for other markets such as Europe, Asia, Japan (domestic) and so on.

I remember there was a "Leopard" series that was for the European market that did not make it to the US.

I found your post on a Russian forums when I was searching Google for similar images in the hopes of finding info on it somewhere.

Almost bought this one from japan a few years back.
Seller claimed it was all original, Flame top & back, kahler, gold knobs, covered pickups, set neck.
Very nice, I was outbid, not happy.

I stand corrected. This is the most beautiful Card I've seen! :love:
(The other one is still not too shabby though)

Is anyone else thinking about my guitar? Do you have news about my Aria Cardinal?
