FS - 1980 ARIA Pro II EG-1400 - BC Rich Eagle copy

Oh man, I'd be all over this, but I have a rule that I don't buy guitars with fewer than 6 toggle switches! So close...

Seriously, though, that's a cool guitar. Good luck!
 
Wow! Even I don't come up with wiring schemes that crazy. What do all those knobs and switches do, on a dual humbucker guitar? < Rhetorical question.
 

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
Very cool guitar!

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.
