{"product_id":"865267","title":"ARIA VINTAGE Arai Diamond 1702T around70's Sunburst","description":"Arai Trading was established in 1956. Around 1963, they began manufacturing electric guitars, and after going through brands such as Arai and Arai Diamond, they established the acoustic guitar line Aria and the electric guitar\/bass guitar line AriaProII. Since then, they have produced numerous masterpieces, including the flagship \"PE\" series that continues to this day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This is the \"1702T,\" released under the \"Arai Diamond\" name. It's a popular model also known as the \"Hi-Flier\" under the export brand UNIVOX. This time, we have received the so-called Phase 1 specification, which dates from the late 1960s to the early 1970s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The guitar weighs approximately 3.1kg. It features a unique body shape inspired by M-brand guitars, but is slightly smaller than average. While there are some scratches, dents, tarnishing on the metal parts, and discoloration on the pickup covers, the paintwork retains its shine and the overall appearance is not bad. The tremolo arm is missing, and the strap pins have been replaced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck material is not listed in the catalog, but it has a rosewood fingerboard. The \"Arai Diamond\" logo from the late 1960s to early 1970s and the model name plate on the back of the headstock are still intact. The tuners have some inconsistency in winding and a slight catching noise, but they do not affect tuning. The bushings for the 1st, 2nd, and 5th strings have been replaced. The frets and nut are worn, with some chipping around the 2nd and 3rd strings, resulting in a slightly high string action, but there is no extreme buzzing or dead spots, and playability is good. The nut width is approximately 41.0mm. It has a thin U-shaped neck profile. One of the tension bar cap nuts is missing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls consist of [1 volume \/ 1 tone \/ 2 rocker switches for ON\/OFF of each pickup]. The output jack and string ground wire have been replaced. The rocker switches are slightly faulty; operating one may cause the other to move slightly or produce crackling noises. The guitar is equipped with two original single-coil pickups, which are known for their sharp and straightforward tone. The bridge (front) pickup ring appears to have been cracked and repaired with glue in the past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Soft case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.1kg\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width: 41.0mm\u003cbr\u003e Fret Width: 2.4mm\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 21.7mm\/22.7mm\/23.2mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"ARIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44019285426289,"sku":"865267","price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/865267_01.jpg?v=1786502483","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hans\/products\/865267","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
