FS: Humbuckers and Trem from Matsumoku Aria Pro II

RevMatt · January 2014

Here's a: pair of Humbucker pickups and a trem / bridge assembly. These came from a 1980s' (Matsumoku) Aria Pro II ZZ electric guitar and I believe they are original to that guitar, although they are unbranded so I cannot guarentee this. The pickups are both 4 core wired (so ready to be coil split if required) and both have full length of cable still in place - when I removed them from the guitar the soldering was very tidy and did appear to be original. Both coils on each pickup have adjustable poles and the ZZ was an explorer type guitar so I expect these to be quite a high output pickups. However, they are untested as the guitar was bought with the neck removed for a project. Like the pickups, the trem has no branding but I assume it to be original.

CONDITION: These items are untested, but were sold to me on the ZZ guitar as working so I assume them to be. There is some wear, consistent with age and one of the pickups has a crack in the plastic of one of the coils - this shouldn't affect performance and wasn't very noticeable when in situ on the guitar. The trem also has some signs of wear but nothing significant, and the screws supplied with this are of different lengths - not sure why.

INCLUDED: everything pictured - 2x pickups with screws and springs, 1x trem unit with screws, claw and springs but no trem arm.

PRICE: not too sure what these are worth - maybe quite a lot to collectors, but let's say £45 incl UK delivery. I may also consider a trade for a pair of Zebra pickups (anything from hot PAF to high gain).
