I picked it up from Eli a couple of years ago... it's a pretty rare Matsumoku built guitar with a 1 piece body, 1 piece long tenon neck, thick maple top... came from the factory with Gibson Tim Shaw pickups... been meaning to do a NGD but figured no one would care about a Japanese Les Paul 🤣 1 Quote

How the hell does a MIJ replica come with Gibson USA pickups? Quote

I've done a TONS of research on this guitar... online "Japanese sites" and various Aria Pro FB groups with experts chiming in... It was a short collaboration with Gibson & Aria Pro... think "Norlin era Matsumoku Epiphones" I'm guessing about less than a dozen made? There was also another version LS-1800"VD" that came with Dimarzios https://www.mylespaul.com/threads/1981-aria-pro-ii-ls-1800-or-ls-1500-anyone-here-got-or-had-one.478518/ Edited September 26, 2025 by Dave Scepter 4 Quote
