These CS400's are nice guitars if you are into the PRS vibe in a vintage Matsumoku made guitar. This one just needs a couple of speed knobs. These are very well made and sound good.
1980 Aria Pro II Cardinal CS400/case ---Matsumoku made - $450 (North Vancouver)

Matsumoku made guitar!!! Carved swamp ash body with SET NECK - the 400 is very different from the rest of the Cardinals 25" scale - like prs (which it bears a resemblance too as well) brown burst maple neck/rosewood board strings thru or toploader bridge -- your can do it either way. 10" radius 2 very nice sounding original humbuckers 3 way switch with coil tap and phase mini toggles (both toggles are presently bypassed because I subscribe to the purest signal route is best camp but you can solder them back into line and have a whole ton of sounds to choose from). Original pots were mini pots and I had them swapped out to full size pots taken from a 1978 Ibanez Studio -- these better quality than the dreaded mini pots. there are no knobs on the guitar but they are standard posts and any knobs will fit. Couple of paint chips missing from the back edges of the body but looks great from the front -- these are highlighted in the last picture.
