The Strings

The serial number suggests built in the Samick plant, Korea in 1994 or possibly 2004. My understanding is that the serial numbers for Korean Aria Pro 2's follows the same rules as for the Epiphones. My view is that the Korean Aria Pro guitars are sleepers just as the MIJ ones were in the past. I used to have a Fullerton MIA strat which was pretty poor and I sold on, but the Korean PE models are excellent guitars.
