Re: Aria Pro II CS350

Lucky for me, I bought a CS-250 off a dude from work. The bridge was replaced by a Floyd Rose type tremelo. Not sure if he did it, or someone else did. Being 34 years old, who knows how many owners its had. Obviously with a Floyd Rose, they also added a locking nut, which, unfortunately, obscures the nameplate. I am actually not entirely sure if its a 250 or a 350. I assume its a 250 just because of the color and what colors were offered for the different models.
Outside of the tremelo, everything else is original. I do need new tuning heads, and might also replace the pots. I want to keep the original pick-ups, so I plan on dipping them in wax. I really dig this guitar though.
I've tried out various guitars at Guitar Center, but many of them just don't feel right. I did use my buddies ESP with Active Pick-ups for a show once, that was amazing. It just seems like Guitar Center doesn't really have anything fantastic. I do like Telecasters, but for now, I think I got lucky with picking up the Aria.
