Introduced in 1976 with the original PE-1500, the Aria Pro II PE series has become one of the brand’s most enduring guitar families. Built on a philosophy of innovative design, exceptional playability, and timeless styling, PE guitars have been embraced by discerning players around the world, including Neal Schon (Journey), Gerry Cott (The Boomtown Rats), and Andy Summers (The Police). Today, the PE series continues that tradition for a new generation of guitarists.

The elegantly sculpted round-back body, complemented by beautifully crafted wooden control cavity covers, showcases the attention to detail that sets the PE-R100 apart. Built to deliver exceptional tone, comfort, and playability, the PE-R100 continues the enduring legacy of one of Aria’s most celebrated guitar families.
