Clearly reads ARIA CUSTOM SHOP. I was reading online where people had contacted Aria and they denied having a custom shop at all. That's where I was going with my previous comment. :toopidlol:

My likes havin funny faces back. . . :thumbsup:

Kinda reminds me of when I call up the local Hardware Store after something particular, "no Sir, sorry we don't carry that"
So up I go looking for an alternative, & low & behold here is the thing I was after staring at me from the shelf.

Hey man, thanks so much for an AMAZING answer. That's it! right there and yes.... it does clearly say "custom shop" ... Maybe that one poster who claims Aria denied it got something lost in translation?

Those were made in 1992 (named PE-01S). In following years it was called PE-01 and remained in production until 1996.

Nice guitar.
