And anyway the Aquarius is an early 80s model (the AQ305 is a later version of 1984 with a modified really 80s headstock design), something you can check on the ultimate Kawai Aquarius blog (this blog would be a little more ultimate with the always expected contributions of Aquarius lovers - and the blog is mine of course!).
Anyway this guitar is beautiful and modest, and the absence of the neck pickup changes a lot its line and makes it look super dynamic - I love it!

I have an AQ-305 black with the other shaped headstock. The guitar plays well but the body wood is disintegrating. I changed the pickups to TV Jones Powertron and replaced the wiring; although a technician at Guitar Center lost the pushbutton toggle. Nonetheless, it still sounds awesome.
