Why is this guitars bolt on neck so different to the other versions of Aria's heelless bolt design? It has a little access cover in line with the neck. I'll see if I can get you some picts.

Hi !
Ahhhh.. bolt in neck ?
Unfortunately I donīt know, where (you or) the guitar come from, but here in Europe there was a special model of the PE called
Panther.
I own one of them with the serial number 84032
. Itīs a clone between the PE800 and the PE1000.
I.e. : Bolt in neck, carved top, carved back with a wooden backcover (
look here) and
Protomatic I pickups (both rows with hexagonal pole pieces).
If the guitar has a flat contoured back, a plastic backcover and
Protomatic IV pickups (one row with slotted screws, the other with smooth surface) itīs a PE800.
Note: There was a bolt in and a setneck version, but these were usually only available with high gloss finish.
