This is the ARS-850S, a high-end model released in 2001 (original price 85,000 yen). It features a full-mode sustainer, a Wilkinson tremolo bridge, and Gotoh tuners, making it a high-spec Japanese-made guitar of its time. Equipped with three powerful single-coil humbuckers, it allows for performance across various genres. Weighing 3.3kg according to a household scale, it's very easy to handle, and compared to current Asian-made models in the same price range, it would likely be worth more than double the price now. The neck is straight, the frets are about 70% remaining, and there is some wear on the 3rd string's low frets, but there are no dead spots or buzzing (image 13). There are shallow cracks on the paint surface of the neck pocket on the right side of the body (not reaching the wood: image 12) and scratches from aging, but there are no paint chips or noticeable dents that would detract from the appearance, which are common on older guitars. Considering it's been about 25 years since its manufacture, it's in overall quite beautiful condition. I've taken many pictures, so please check them along with the text. Sound output, including the sustainer, has been confirmed through an amplifier. Due to the disappearance of Fernandes, the supply has been cut off, and the full-mode sustainer is particularly popular. If you were interested, how about taking this opportunity? It's also rare that the original arm is included without being lost. The item will be protected with cushioning material and shipped in a guitar-specific cardboard box. ※ The case in the images is for photography and is not included. ※ Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to the condition of old guitars. ※ Please feel free to comment directly if you have any requests. #Sustainer #FullModeSustainer #TomoyasuHotei #HISASHI
