Aria Diamond Telecaster 1582 (1972–1974) Aged White Butterscotch
The Aria Diamond 1582 is a vintage electric guitar manufactured in Japan between 1972 and 1974, during Aria’s collaboration with the highly regarded Matsumoku factory. This model is a clear homage to the Fender Telecaster, featuring a single-cutaway solid body and traditional control layout (with les paul style switch however!), while maintaining some unique characteristics of its own.
Features a butterscotch / aged white finish, a bridge with a traditional ashtray cover, and a professionally rewound bridge pickup, maintaining the vintage tone while improving reliability and output. Its tone profile delivers the classic single-coil clarity and twang, ideal for blues, country, and early rock styles.
