Dating Aria Guitars
Here is a bit of information I found while searching for information about my Aria (Ariana) A570 Classical Guitar, which you Aria owners may find beneficial.
By the way, I still don’t the actual age of mine.
In the mid 70’s, serial numbers began to be used. At least for Aria guitars, made by Matsumoku, the serial number contains the year of manufacture in the first 2 digits, thus a guitar from 1979 would have a serial number, such as 79####. The manufacturing of Aria guitars were subcontracted out to Matsumoku from 1964 to 1986. Rumor has it, although I can’t find confirmation, that the Indonesian factory was thought to be to be an Indonesian «slave» factory).
If anyone has information on the age of the A570, I’d appreciate it.
My A570 sounds better than my Yahama C70.

Aria AC — 15
I have a Aria AC — 15 but has no serial number, but there is a number stamped inside the sound hole against the upper bout. The number is 06766015. There is only one position marker on the top edge of the guitar between the 7th and 8th fret. The tuning pegs are shaped like bat ears if you know any information about this guitar will be most appreciated.

Arai Acoustic Guitar
I bought my 1st guitar ‘way back in the early 1970’s. I still recall that I paid a whopping $70 CAD for it!! I played it forever and when my son was a toddler, he reached in with his little hand and peeled off the label. I thought that label was gone forever but I must have realised it’s importance because I came across it today sorting through some old papers!! (My son is now 45!!) Now that I know the model and serial number, is my guitar worth anything more than it’s sentimental value? It is Serial number 1142290 and the model number is Aria 6810. Can someone enlighten me about it using this information?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Dating Aria Guitar
Another one of many requests for dating an Aria Guitar, so apologies in advance.
I have acquired a Classical Aria Guitar, from what I can tell from the aged mucky label, it appears to be
Model Number A551. This is made in Japan, under Tatsuno.
The serial number only contains the number 1
Inside the guitar at the end of the neck, there is a date printed/marked 53.2.1
There is no date/stamp on the headstock, like others I have seen.
I had a passing thought, could it possibly be a prototype before these guitars where commercially released, around 4 years later? The date seems to coincide when this trio got together. I can only go off what limited information I could find, including forums/threads such as this.
I can send some pictures, if it would help in any form
Many thanks
Dave
Old Guitar
My son gave me a fantastic looking old acoustic guitar that he found at a yard sale. It has no name on it and only has the numbers 50.8 18 in black on the block in the sound hole. No one has been able to tell me what this guitar brand is as that number on the block is the only markings. I first thought, as did a lot of other people, that it was an old Gibson as it has the «open book headstock.» It has an adjustable bridge. The original tuners have been replaced. The binding and markings look like an old Gibson. But one detail kept throwing the Gibson people, and me, off. This guitar has double dots at the 5th fret as well as the normal 12th fret. I have poured over images online for many hours. I finally found an old Aria with the open book headstock, copied after Gibson. That led me to look over images of old Arias. Just tonight I found two online with the double dots at the 5th frets. All that leads to this question, does anyone have any idea what year or model would have been assembled with the block marked as 50.8 18? Thanks

Aria серийные номера гитар
Aria — японская компания-производитель акустических и электрогитар и бас-гитар. Компания была основана в 1953 году Shiro Arai под названием Arai and Company. Сначала компания занималась розничной торговлей акустических гитар, фактически производство собственных гитар началось с 1963 года.
В качестве названия, слово “ARIA” было впервые использовано в 1958 году, когда Arai Shiro экспортировал в Юго-Восточную Азию японские классические гитары, оснащенные железными струнами.
В конце 50х годов прошлого века, когда Arai начал ввозить электрогитары и усилители Fender из США, японский рынок не был готов к появлению электрогитары. С появлением рок-н-ролла ситуация кардинально изменилась и в 1963 году были выпущены первые электрогитары ARIA. Экспорт в США начался, в том числе гитар моделей 1532T и 1802T.
Когда бум после появления цельнокорпусных электрогитар начал немного стихать, Arai открыл производство полуакустических гитар Aria серии Diamond, которая была так названа из-за инкрустации на головке грифа, изображавшей алмаз. Выход моделей 1202 и 1302 в 1966 году стал сенсацией в Японии. Начиная с 1967 года Aria расширила модельный ряд электрогитарами с цельным корпусом (модели 1962T, R-320), 12ти-струнными гитарами, бас-гитарами в форме скрипки и «полноразмерными» акустическими гитарами (модель 1262).
В 1975 году custom shop компании Aria вырос в отдельную самостоятельную марку Aria Pro II, которая занималась изготовлением гитар класса high-end, рассчитанных на профессиональных музыкантов. Первым релизом стала гитара Aria Pro II модели PE-1500 в 1976 году.
PE (Prototype Line) инструменты, обладающие классическим дизайном Aria — шедевр, ставший легендой — обладали выпуклым топом и кленовой декой с уникальным грифом “heel-less neck” и оснащались хамбакерами DiMarzio Super.
В 1978 году увидела свет еще одна модель Aria Pro II — SB-1000. Эта модель явилась воплощением всего, к чему стремилась компания Aria, и получила мировую известность.
Далее производство гитар Aria Pro II пошло в ногу с 80-ми годами прошлого столетия, которые явились расцветом таких стилей музыки, как Hard Rock и Heavy Metal. Были выпущены инструменты таких моделей, как XX, ZZ и U-1 и возобновлен выпуск полуакустических гитар моделей FA и TA. Также в 80-е годы появилась знаменитая серия бас-гитар IGB (SB INTEGRA).
В начале 1990-х годов, после взлета хеви-метала Aria Pro II выпустила серию гитар MA, чтобы поддержать линейки PE и SB line-ups. Прогресс продолжился выпуском электроконтрабаса SWB в 1992 году, который оснащался пьезо-датчиком Fishman и активным темброблоком.
Вся вышеописанная продукция, носящее название Aria олицетворяет собой 50-летний опыт производства гитар в Японии и является солидной основой для дальнейшего прогресса и предоставления музыкантам новых исполнительских и звуковых возможностей.
Определение возраста гитар Aria
Определение возраста гитар Aria — весьма приблизительно и имеет множество несоответствий. Гитары ранних выпусков не имеют серийных номеров, или каких-либо кодов. Если перед Вами именно такой инструмент, то единственной возможностью узнать его возраст — определить модель и посмотреть, в какой временной период она выпускалась.
Серийные номера начали появляться в середине 1970х годов. Первая цифра, а иногда первые две цифры в серийных номерах гитар, сделанных на фабрике Matsumoku, совпадает(ют) с последней(ими) цифрами года выпуска (Yххххх YYхххх). Например серийный номер гитары 1979 года выпуска может выглядеть так: 79хххх, а номер гитары 1981 года выпуска так: 1ххххх. Такую схему можно применять к гитарам примерно до 1987 года выпуска. Некоторые гитары, сделанные в Корее имеют серийный номер вида YYWWхххх. YY — 2 последние цифры года, WW — номер недели в этом году. Например серийный номер 9628хххх значит, что гитара была сделана на 28й неделе 1996 года. К сожалению, вышеописанные две схемы применительны к серийным номерам далеко не всех гитар, некоторые серийные номера не содержат сведений о годе выпуска.
