Those are very cool and built by Matsumoku. I bought a U series Aria new from that era that I played for years. Is that one a set neck or neck through? The couple of those I have seen looked at first to be neck through, but were actually set necks. The U 100's were true neck through guitars. https://www.guitar-list.com/aria-pro-ii/electric-guitars/aria-pro-ii-u100

They hide how they did it very well. It look like there is a section that goes all the way through and a back piece that does not. It is so well done I couldn't swear to either.
There's volume, tone, and boost pots. There's a six-position varitone switch. A boost off/on switch and three phase/split/parallel switches. I believe it's roughly the same as BC Rich's circuit which might be inspired by Alembic. It covers a lot of ground but the boost is a little ugly.
