1982 Aria Pro II Japan U-DELUXE Urchin Deluxe (Green-Black Sunburst)

1982 Aria Pro II Japan U-DELUXE Urchin Deluxe (Green-Black Sunburst)A guitar so interesting that there's an identical one on display at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, MA! Made by the Matsumoku factory in late 1982 for release in Aria Pro II's 1983 catalog, the Urchin Deluxe was a new model in the U series and featured a brand new modern "Green Black Burst" finish. Solid alder body with a laminate flame top and back bolted to a maple neck with a 22 fret rosewood fingerboard (648mm scale length), it weighs 3. 8kg's.

String-thru construction with a tune-o-matic bridge and Grover Jackson branded tuners

The neck is straight and the frets are shiny and smooth with plenty of life

this was a higher end construction than most Greco or Ibanez models from the same price bracket

Today's new American Standard Stratocaster guitars are worthy heirs of their revered ancestors-mindful of player needs and taking full advantage of modern advances
