Old Aria Guitar

**RAG Auctioneers** · 03-06-11, 11:11

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??

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..... ?

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......
