Aria Pro II ST-600D
D800066
 
By 1980, these traditional Strats had stopped featuring in the catalogues as the Project Series' had really started to take off. They reappeared in the 1981 "LS and Others" brochures. We have found a few traditional models on 80 plates and this Strikin' Sound 600D is a great example.
 
The D denotes DiMarzio pick-ups - this 600 featuring a set of fully functional FS-1 (Fat Strat). With an Inductance of 6.7 Henries and 13.4KOhms, these pick-ups have characteristics very different to the SP-II of the more junior ST ranges. Not to be confused with the ST-600 from the late seventies with their single volume single tone configuration and SP-1B pick-ups, this single owner guitar (prior to us) guitar has had a gentle life - just a little wear to the fret board and a few knocks to the body. 
 
This guitar is in the queue for a very special and completely reversible upgrade project, but is such a great player that it will reside in the studio to be enjoyed for the time being.
