Unfortunately not the original plus Wayne's has a slightly different headstock (it changed from the 1980 first issues to the 1981 model I believe).
but those Royal Albert Hall and God's Own Medicine tones are there, flick a switch and yup there's Severina flip it back and there's F&L&A from Wake.
Wayne's got nicked.

whatever yer willing to pay for them, they're actually quite hard to find these days, I got this one for $350 but it could have gone for a lot more, I spoke to a hardcore Aria collector about it and he told me it's rarity value far outweighs it's actual worth as a musical instrument then he offered me $800 for it. As I said Aria only manufactured them between 1980-1981, the Yamaha Pacifica's are alright but thet feel a bit "flimsy".ryan_w_0000 wrote:how much is one of em worth then?

I asked Mr Hussey about this last year.
It was originally brown/natural wood, he painted it black finishing of the headstock with Gaffer and LX tape
The original was nicked, and he still seamed saddened by this.
Aria pro II was a low to mid range guitar, so wouldn't have been too expensive at the time but 12 strings are always rarer..
I've got a Yamaha Pacifica 12 string.
Liz and now Scardy uses it in Rhombus. It does the job and stays in tune well.

As was this one until it got a coat of matt black a'la Mr Hussey's guitar. Sad I know, but the original finish looks s**t.Ed Rhombus wrote:It was originally brown/natural wood, he painted it black finishing of the headstock with Gaffer and LX tape
