The one you were looking at is a 'modern' Aria. That site covers the made in Japan era at the matsumoku factory up until the mid 80's I think. You can read and learn about the history of the company here. Just make sure it's a made in Japan model. Good stuff, but bc of the age, best to play one in person when deciding to buy one - unless you can set up guitars. I've owned half a dozen AriaProII's over the years. I'm a fan - my 3rd guitar back in 1990 was an Urchin. Condition will be only as good as it was cared for over those 30 years. Now if you buy an 80's model, it could be 30 years old. Some real good finds out there as while many people know about them, they're still mostly not highly collected so you can grab them for a bargain.īack in the 80s you could steal these 70s guitars for $100 bc there was no want for them and no Internet to spread the word of the quality. Early ones from 70s-mid80s were made in Japan at Masumoku (I always spell that wrong) factory and are considered high quality. AriaProII was used on their electrics from the 70s-90s. The Arai company has used different logos on their instruments over the years.
#Aria pro 2 serial numbers serial number
If a serial number is not present, the guitar was likely manufactured prior to the mid-1970s. To identify the manufacture date of an Aria guitar, first locate the serial number, which is likely located on the back of the neck on an electric or in the body of an acoustic guitar.
