At a gig the other night I spotted one of the most beautiful looking Arias I have seen. It was a bolt on Les Paul Standard body shape/bridge/pickguard but with more of a PE type headstock with the uppercase logo like that in attached pic. It seemed to have a super thick violin finish flamed maple cap on it....almost looks custom shop but on a bolt on?? Weird. No serial numbers anywhere on the headstock/neck plate.
Any thoughts on model/year would be appreciated. I am probably "barking up the wrong tree" but wondering if maybe it was some sort of prototype around the time of the move to Aria Pro ii
