I have an Aria SG copy in a cherry / mahogany finish with a bigsby style vibrato. It is a bolt-on neck and on the neck plate it says in all caps "Steel Adjustable Neck, Made In Japan, Serial Number". It has a Gibson style headstock with an arrow shaped truss rod cover. It has 2 humbucker pickups and the pick guard goes from the bridge to around the 21st fret and all the way down to the selector switch. The frets are rounded rectangles. I have googled extensively and found no other aria like it. Can post pictures later.

Looks very much like the A-1922 with a A-1932 TR cover. The Bigsby...? The oddities probably come under the "specifications subject to change..." in the adverts :dunno: .

Honestly, I've never seen the trem in the catalog pic. Every one I've seen has had the Bigsby style.

The 1982T has that weird Jaguar style trem and is the only SG style ARIA that I've seen with one - other than the OP's item. There is a HUGE pictorial gap on the website, especially for the SG style guitars. I have some Photos of other axes not shown that I've been trying to get included with no luck.

Maybe this one is also a "photo missing" item or the Bigsby retroactively added?
