I always enjoy reading about builds and guitar modification here, so I thought I'd share this project. I recently acquired an Aria Pro II YS500. It's a well built Japanese guitar from the Matsumoto factory. It's a 24 fret maple neck through, with ash wings. The scale length is 25.5". The electronics and pickups are not original to the guitar and are pretty junky. I purchased it planning to replace all the innards anyway. I'll be putting a Super 2 in the middle and a UGB to get those Jerry sounds. I'll be putting in a few personal preferences as well...
I'm just getting started but here are the before pictures.
