Just saw a Aria Pro 2 SH1000 listed on eBay in Japan (oct 2014):

Ebay Item no. 321565635491

Just scrolling through the photos - is that a crack running between the two knobs (about 12 cm) over the electrical components? If you look closely at the image that has a close-up of this area (image no 12) you can see some kind of damage in the reflections in the photo - easy to miss.

Looks nice though.

Anyone got one of these?

High powered is basically correct. However, it has a better clean sound... overdrive is not the strong part of the pickups or the circuit.

Also good to know in advance: the electronic in this guitar is balanced. If you plan to change pickups, only pickups with a separate ground wire will work (no two wire pickups).

Is that the one you sent back? I think the price is high for the damage but I think I can fix it. Well, I could make it where it wouldn't be noticeable.
