Aria is a Japanese guitar brand which was known for pumping out decent clones of Gibson and Fender-style instruments from their Matsumoku-based factory under many names, including Aria Pro-II, and Diamond, Cliff Burton from Metallica being a noted user of the brand. They also had a decent stint producing Epiphone-branded guitars for Gibson until the mid 1980s.
This Diamond LC-45W is a sweet Les Paul Custom clone, built in the Matsumoku factory in the mid-1980s. It's pretty lightweight and ever so slightly thinner than a regular LP Custom, and is an absolute steal for just $600.
In relatively good condition, some tarnishing on the gold hardware and missing the toggle switch tip, in great playing condition wearing a fresh set of strings and fret polish.
