Proudly Made in Japan

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.

Handcrafted in Japan, the PE-R100 embodies the craftsmanship and innovative spirit that have defined the Aria Pro II PE series for decades. Combining timeless PE styling with meticulous construction, it features the signature carved body, recessed controls, and Heel-Less neck joint that have become hallmarks of the series. 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.
