Lovely post Matsumoku built Aria Pro II CS (Cardinal Series). I think these were made by Kawai after the fire destroyed the Matsumoku factory in 1987. Mahogany body and neck giving light weight with balance and a rich tone. Sounds and plays very well and has a coil tap on the humbucker for extra variety. Not many marks, there is a chip on the back of the neck and on the headstock. Frets are in excellent condition and the bound neck plays smoothly. Neck pickup has been replaced with Alnico V. Set up with 10-46 Ernie Ball strings and ready for serious action.
