If anyone is interested in a Japanese Aria Pro II Michael Schenker Flying V from 1981 Video?

I know at least one person on here who has built his own version of this classic who might be interested?
Dunsy has an excellent video about his guitar going live this evening on his Dunsy’s Guitar World YouTube channel.
Ive just had a preview of it and it’s definitely really informative and interesting.
It’s a lovely guitar that’s for sure.

I thought perhaps it was going to be one of those strange ones with more Aria-esque features.

I’ve just noticed it up on YouTube now.

Super-fat neck, if he got those measurements right!

Nice and simple way of doing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if Schenker's original was the same.

Yeah probably but once it’s screwed down it’s not going anywhere so not a problem.

Also having the pickups on mounting rings helps to keep everything flat. I notice in the pic I posted that the one with a six-a-side headstock had a couple of extra screws between the pickups.

I prefer the three tuners a side headstock.
