You did a great job on the guitar. Aria is a fantastic guitar, and you did it justice.I have a early 72 -73 Aria Les Paul copy that looks brand new,My Dad bought it for my 13th birthday in 1973 It was my first guitar and I took very good care of it original case and all. Its still my favorite guitar and at 63 years old I play it a lot.
I scored an Aria Diamond 12 string for $65.00 a few years back.
It took a little work but it seems to play lovely.
Japan Can Produce some real nice Guitars.
Never sell it, they're amazing guitars.
Aria makes nice guitars. Thanks for rescuing that one.
Didn't Neal Schon play one like that?
And affordable too....
@@mrbuttons1243 I was thinking the same - I remember a picture of Neal from Guitar Player Magazine where he is seen with a Floyd Rose equipped Aria - it could have been similar to the one here.
*Used to make nice guitars.
Yep my first guitar was amazing
I never saw a guitar like this and I'm convinced you have damaged it with humidity before making this video.
Really great restoration. Glad to see you kept the original finish intact and just did a great cleaning, buffing and polishing job. The 80's wear and tear looks excellent in the finished product. These Matsumoku built Aria Pro II PE's are really fantastic guitars in every way. Shame to see it was left in such horrible condition but you have brought it back to life!
what were the holes he closed up?

@@christianhansen3292 A previous owner took the TOM bridge off to rout for a tremolo. Those were the holes for the TOM posts
What about the gunk inside the pickup's bobbing and coils?
@@christianhansen3292 That was the holes for the old bridge, he installed a FloydRose instead.

Magnificent job! Ossu. Really rad shorts by the way.
I have a 1967 Fandel Jet made by Aria. It still looks and pays great. What was a $120 guitar then is a $1200 guitar now. It pays to respect and take care of your gear.
I'd soke the chrome parts in rustaway before doing any whire brushes.
I honestly thought the tuners were a lost cause. Nice job bringing them back!
I've reached the conclusion that you, sir, are a guitar necromancer, because that thing was this side of dead forever and you brought it back and made it sound wonderful again! Well done as usual, sir.
私はあなたがギターネクロマンサーであるという結論に達しました。いつものようによくやった、先生。

DP100, baby!!
Hubo guitarras hechas en Matsumoku con DiMarzio de serie, los K10 que vinieron en las Hondo II Professional, que también se usaron en las gamas bajas de Hondo hechas en Corea. Tengo una HD740 con K10, igual con el MMK del lado del mástil calculo que es un DP100 o DP105 de reemplazo.
日本製のギターをここまで大切に直してくれることは日本人としてとても誇らしいです

Sorry, but what kind of thoroughness is involved when he left the frets flat, tore off the paint himself and then just spray-painted the guitars like that, yeah, instead of cleaning the plastic elements with a solution, he rubs them with sandpaper, he would also clean off the yellowness with a knife.
Don't be critical. He did a good job!!!
I personally liked Aria Guitars. 🙂
Aria pro II is the brand name if I understand it correct.. I once restored one of those, but it was an XR-series with the angled head. The owner was very happy with the result and I imagine that goes for this guitars owner too, very very nice work you did!
Hello Friend, it's always a pleasure to watch your vidéos ! This Aria is a very nice and cool guitar featuring a Floyd Rose vibrato that makes this guitar very appealing. The restoration is fabulous so is the sound of this beautiful guitar. Thank you for enjoying us, see you next video !
Looks nice, this guy works wonders, its show room clean! .. but thats not a Floyd Rose, that is a Licensed locking tremolo under Floyd patents- but its definitely not a Real Floyd rose. If I were investing in this instrument, I would've installed a Floyd Rose 1000. Also use a tungsten block. Had a few Aria Pro IIs back in the early 80s.
I still have too import Aria guitars to the US because of no real dealers in the US. ARIA are my favorite guitars and I have been playing them since 1995. I buy a new one every couple of years not because they are bad but because I like them so much. My favorite is their MAC series!
You do such amazing work my friend!👍👍 Just a little tip, the trem springs should be connected parallel to each other to evenly spread the tension between them.😊
I like how you did the plugs in the body. By masking and painting just that area it made it look like it was part of the original modifications keeping its character, versus painting the whole top to be perfect.
There’s something so relaxing about watching this person take gross guitars and bring them back to life.
Woah! this guitar lives again! Thanks for showing the fixing and cleaning steps.
完璧な復活！凄いとしか言いようが無い！尊敬です！！
小さなナットやワッシャーまで一つ一つ磨き上げるのは大変だったろうな。可能な限り元のパーツを再生させる気合に感動です👍
修繕もそうですが、演奏時のKhanate(祝復活！)のシャツが目を惹きます。
凄まじい音に反してデザインセンスがアーティスティックですよね。

I like your overall all projects restoring any kind of guitar, i am interesting to watch till the end of process 😊
It looks great ! Had it been me, I would have replaced all the switches, knobs, tuners, and pickups. But that's just me.
Great restoration, great editing, and great playing. 😎👍🙏🏼
That was great. My cousin did a similar restoration on a '59 burst. Came out looking like new, no patina left and managed to buff right through the checking. Some of the plastics fell apart but he replaced those with parts from Amazon. Looks great!
What a coincidence. My cousin did the same thing.
UGH!
1959 burst, buff through the checking and parts from Amazon. You high?
毎度プロのメンテとはまた違う、限られたツールでのクリーニングに執念を感じます…すっごい忍耐。
最後の音出しは毎回、超癖強いプレイでビビります。
I still have my Aria Pro II Fender copy. First guitar I bought back in the 1980ies. Stayed in tune remarkably well.
I have an Aria Pro II TS-350 I bought used in '83. Its mahogany solid body with humbucker pups' in neck and bridge! Body looked like Gibson and neck looked like a fender.....in excellent condition, plays excellent! Love it and still play it.. along with my other guitars.......hobby not a working musician! Great job on this Aria Pro II.......doesnt look anything like my TS-350!
Does yours have the Kahler bridge? That was always the thing on my Knight Warrior I did not like
19:23 I absolutely love those knobs
Love the sound of the sanding/tools with no silly music.Great job👍
Nice hard work, but it paid off. I have a white Aria Pro Knight Warrior I have been wanting to restore. Yours gave me motivation. I'm just trying to make a decision on the bridge which is a Kahler Flyer system.
Great work and beautiful old lady. 🎸 You have given a 30-40 year old guitar a second life. 👍💙 The wood of the body is mahogany as far as I could see ? The only thing I would have replaced was the pickup selector switch, it's cheap junk. You should swap the capacitors on the tone pots for orange drop capacitors. 0.47 picoferates.,even replace all 4 potentiometers with 500Kohm each. The Floyd rose idea was great! 👍 Because the wood is already so old and dried, the guitar gets a special sound and value. I also do these kinds of jobs with old guitars. If you are planning to play the instrument more musically, it might be worth because of the old mahagoni to swapp the pickups for professional Seymour Duncan pickups with decorative chrome caps. Very good work. and respect for all your projects. 👍

Every bit of love and restorative care was put into this old abandoned relic. They were bad arse guitars when they first came out. You brought it back and it just kills. What an excellent job 100%+
Great Job…I got a kick out watching you work.
It reminds me of some of the cleanup/restorations I’ve done.
No shop, no bench, no grinder, a Dremel tool,
Vast amounts of various wet and dry sandpaper.
Varity of wire brushes. A vast selection of no name polishes.
Throw up a stand-up TV tray, throw an old towel on it.
I would advise Bee's wax on any screws in wood.
You got it….very nice to watch,
Thank you
Nice work!!! back to life!!!
I would love it if in future videos you gave a background story of where you got the guitar and why it’s in the condition it’s in… great video!!!
Excellent restore. I thought when you opened the inside there'd be a wasp nest.....
Nice guitar. Fun to watch you bring it back. Thank you.
Wow never thought of this approach, I've wasted thousands on partscasters when I could have gotten the same satisfaction from a guitar out of a dumpster. Great video, thank you.
Good luck finding an Aria Pro in the dumpster.
I'd buy the same one online for about $799. It's cool to do that work, if you've got the time, but I don't care for that sound...
@@harrykadaras9459 well yay for you then, I just don't care. Go tell your ma, lol.
@@silvermediastudio was not really looking just joking and thanking the creator for the content, but thanks for the encouragement.
@@jeffmancuso2715 I'll tell your ma, she's right here
Im glad you kept it original as possible. It looks great.
Nice clean up job! Glad you didn't have to do a whole refinish on it. It's weird how naked the selector switch looks without the poker chip surround. My gold top came without one, too. It looked so wrong that I ordered one the said MARY ANN / GINGER.
Lots of janitorial work. More than I'd be willing to do ... Nice metal tune.
Doing something like this seems like such a daunting task. But the more I think about it, having a video of everything you've done to it must be an invaluable aid in doing any kind of repair work. I bet people film themselves working on complicated stuff just for their own reference.
感動です。特に、フレットを磨いたあと、マスキングテープを剥がした後に出てきたピカピカのフレットを見た時、ため息が出ました👏👏素晴らしい👏👏
I did this to a 70s Matsumoku LP “lawsuit” copy but not nearly in this detail. Here he actually rescues each tiny, rusty screw and pickups. Amazing.
This guitar was made by MATSUMOKU in Japan . 1981
Looking at the before shots, I thought for sure you’d be replacing the tuners and doing a full refret. Great job bringing that thing back from its swampy grave!
Always wonder how consistently gross the projects are.
@@DJPLAYNICE The aging is fake, but very well done. There is never any structural damage or crazy wear on the instruments. This guitar for example was made to look like it had been in a river, yet it has no water damage. That isn't how water and wood react.
@@peachmelba1000 do you know he does this as fact or are you perhaps making an intelligent guess? I'm not trying to argue I'm extremely intrigued... Thank you.
Those frets need re-work.
I am very surprised at how well those tuners came up, good work. I would have just replaced them.
Forensic Restoration, that’s what I call this. It’s fascinating what you do and how you do it. Just started watching this one. The black glove treatment is awesome.
So many things that make me shake my head.
1. You didnt seal the plugs, so they soaked up a lot of finish.
2. You buffed through the finish repair.
3. Didnt check if the frets were still level, or if the neck had warped.
4. Didnt check if the wiring is still operational.
5. Removed the patina on the plastic parts, making them look new, but kept the finish worn.
6. Kept the old electronics instead of replacing (electronics are like car tires: replace 'm when theyre old!).
7. Why a no-name floyd instead gotoh, schaller, or the original?
As a guitar maker myself, i can't say I'm impressed.
Because it's not restoration. Just cleaning with towel
I've been binge Watching your Videos and I must say that You My friend are doing Great Work Restoring These Guitars and Bass...
Great job again! Always install the springs straight otherwise the middle one does nothing.
The interior of the control cavities, with pots and wiring were somehow spared the corrosive effect that the rest of the guitar was subjected to.
A great job man, you bring This guitar from the dump to life.
I'm planning to restore my 1985's Aria Pro II, I love that guitar. Amzing to watch all procedure
ヤフオクでウオッチしてました、どうしたらこんな状態になるのかな？
これを再生するとは凄い
ひとの手が加えられての復元もすごかったですが、ここまでそんな様相もない劣化しているギターもあるんだと、その復元もすごいw👍

何だか懐かしいシルエットのギター。 1,980年頃のモデルでしょうか。
復活して何よりです。
Great job on the restoration mate and to see you wearing a KHANATE shirt at the end just added the cherry on top.
Well done, keep up the great work! O)))
add one derelict guitar, one part elbow grease, one part love, one part know how and about 30 different specialized Japanese cleaning products and stand back!
Wizard at work!
I must compliment your diligence and loving care. The guitar was rusty, crusty and then it was restored. I assume the PUps still worked and all of the soldered connections were made like new. The setup would be interesting too
Thanks for the show😎✌️❤️🇨🇦
4:35 I love that you used a JIS-2 screwdriver :) I bought one a couple years ago and I'm surprised that no one seems to know about them (around here in Canada)
Fantastic restoration I could see you really worked hard.
Excellent your genius and industrious you bring back d guitar in life congrats...
When i receive a guitar in this condition, which sometimes happen as i buy regularly from Japan where moisture seems to be a real challenge, i can't help but take it to the bathroom to have a shower, after removing metallic parts and pickups beforehand of course, it helps a lot and i like to see the dirt run in the sink
The yellowing of the plastic is caused by ultraviolet light. There is a chemical that you can soak the plastic in that will remove the yellow. You need to check the gauss of the magnets in the pickups. Typically, when you restore a guitar, you replace the caps and the pots with new ones. Selector switches need to be replaced a lot of times. Good soldering. The rest of the job looked good.
I love how you went so over the top with the dust and scuffing. Makes for great clickbait and exaggerated the contrast with the finished product.
A fantastic job!! And you topped it off with a jam using the restored Aria guitar and a classic Roland JC-120 amp!!! 🎸🎵🤘

Amazing restoration! And, very cool playing style at the end. Bravo!
I LOVE your Khanate shirt. The videos are great. Thanks
“... and the story goes that after she died, the wizard of the great island took the body of the rider, destroyed by the war of silence. He plunged her into the waters of ancient knowledge, and she revived after thirty-five minutes. And they knew her as Black-Fenix”... (Excellent video 🤩👍👍👍👍👍👍👍)
And yet with all that work, it still sounds like an Aria Pro II.
That looks good. I have a Yamaha guitar that's very different but I recognize a lot of the hardware. That's gotta be late 80's early 90's. I love my Yamaha. They make solid guitars. He did a good job fixing this one up.
Здравствуй друг ! Не мог бы ты мне помочь информацией
, если это в твоих силах ? Хочу себе yamaha pacifica 812 wx , но попалась на глаза aria pro ll 2 rs knight warrior 1986 года от Мацумоку , с хорошим обвесом . И теперь путешествую по интернету , ищу ответы ))). Хотя интуитивно тянет к yamaha , вроде у неё интерессней сочетание дерева . Спасибо .
I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work of repairing old guitars.... 👍🏻
今回も見応えがありました👍
セットネックと見せかけ、ネック側のピックアップを外すとまさかの隠しボルトオン。やってくれるなこいつ
IT'S ALIVE!!! Nice job.
why not level and sand the frets before polishing? It's amazing that those parts still worked. Well done.
Amazing job. I really live the body contour.. I have aria pro jet-1 for practising.. Sound great.. Quality budget guitar
That was outstanding! I would have just stripped it to the body and replaced everything with new components. Your restoration is so much more satisfying. Great job!
Great use of the telecaster selector plate 😂👍
Well done! More satisfying when rebuilding a hidden beauty.
I'd call that a labour of love and imagine the result makes it all worthwhile. You have a unique playing style.too.
Fantastic Guitar and an absolutely fantastic and sympathetic restoration. I bet those tuners took ages! Cant believe the before and after well worth all your skill and hard work!
ARE YOU MENTAL? when did you ever see tuning Machines rusted like that? Never is the Answer you're looking for
Extremely talented and patient. Great Resurrection or Renaissance. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations as always. The work you did on those tuners : pure love (passion and patience are twins!)
Beautiful 1983 Matsumoto Aria pro II. The MMK neck humbucker is stock , but the vintage DiMarzio super distortion in the Bridge turns it into a metal monster.
The original came without the Floyd. The guy who did the routing could have done better. A backplate should cover the butchery😉
Its a PE -R60 from 1981 not 83.
spelled, MATSUMOKU
Extremely well done 👍 I enjoyed watching every bit of this video . I have restored several neglected guitars to a comparable result .😊 Good job
i always love your passionate playing at the end, so inspiring!
? hes reciting modes, exercises and scales, theres little or no feeling. He doesnt even bend notes. Hes great at restorations,-, hes playing as fast as he can for the sake of Playing fast, not emotive feeling.
@@DVincentW oh I'm sorry, you're right, the only real music is guitar music with bends, yeah, thanks, i will listen only to BB KING for the rest of my life, and i willl dedicate my time arguing on the internet on what's good music or not, yeah, you're my hero, my mentor.
@@DVincentW you’re really closed minded. If your view on guitar is that you only show passion in bending notes, then I don’t even know what to say man
all those details! fantastic dedication! 😎
Спасибо за видео. Я скажу честно, это полный восторг! Я хочу себе такую гитару!
This is a lot of work stuff. Salute man 🤘
Needs a heavy level of patience 💪
My God, I drooled!
These are the projects I live for. ❤️
WELL DONE.
This is very soothing! Nothing is impossible for that man...
Wow. Great job my friend. 😊
WOW. that was the roughest guitar so far on your channel and it came out looking and sounding great. sweet.
Super cool to watch your technique. Awesome job, Homie… 😎🇺🇸
Nice bit of relicing shame it was ruined by restoring
I have watched about 12 of your restoration videos, very impressive! You do some things that take more time but it pays off! Great work! I have a Jackson Rhoads and a Cort explorer that I would love to see what you could do!
I love restoring equipment; I've gathered some great tips and tricks from watching your videos. Thank you! Heading now to a shore town to find a salty guitar like this Aria 😀
I had a friend that I was in a band with years ago. He managed to get his hands on a an '80s Les Paul Custom when he was in his late teens. First thing he did was take it to a shop to have them install a Floyd Rose because that was a big deal at that time. As he got older he never played that guitar much because of it and regretted it. My only comment on this is that if the time was taken to mask off the fret board and polish the frets I would have down a level and recrown as well.
