RAG Auctioneers 10 Posted June 3, 2011 We have come into a very old Aria Guitar. Searching the internet we have found many lists of Aria guitars and the dates they were made. (Collectors lists) BUT this one is NO WHERE to be found. Any guitar collectors or vintage specialists out there that can help identify this Aria guitar?? http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/727/1116727_110603105942_guitar2.jpg http://images.bidorbuy.co.za/user_images/727/1116727_110603105942_guitar9.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAG Auctioneers 10 Posted June 3, 2011 Hi admin, Thanks! That actually helped a lot. Dont know why I couldn't find those pages when doing our research. Your first link is to a Martin. I am not sure if Aria is linked to martin? BUT going through your links I eventually found this: How to Date an Aria Guitar | eHow.com Following that websites steps, I come to the conclusion that the guitar was made in 1970..... ?

RAG Auctioneers 10 Posted June 3, 2011 Every website or collector website I come to, say that Aria had serial numbers of 6 digits and later versions may have had 8 digits and letters. This one only has 5 digits...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAG Auctioneers 10 Posted June 3, 2011 We just had a chat with the previous owner. With much confidence she says she bought the guitar in 1967. Hows that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
