It’s not early 80’s it’s early 2000’s and it’s an SB model.

Drawn a blank. 

There was aria sb404, 404/5

that was a neck through.

there was a lower range mode which had a bolt on neck and solid metallic finish - I can only assume this is a middle of the range model.

Can't find anything similar online. Thought there'd be something somewhere.

Then the seller is deluded.

Just checked...

This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing.

 

 

 

Listed at £345

This is an oddity and I'd be inclined to think its not a UK-market model. I remember the early '00s SB models, certainly don't recall a bolt-on 6er with SB-R inlays though. Although Aria slipped in popularity & quality in their export markets, in Japan the range has always been varied, with lots of mid & high-end models that never made it over here. Unfortunately I can't find any Aria catalogues later than '96, at which point there were still "proper" SBs in their Japan-market range. Will keep digging though.

Oh, and the seller's definitely a deluded loony!

I think I may change the colour of one of my tuners '"just to be different" 😂

Hahahahah. Just because something is rare doesn't mean it's valuable.
