Members srv1953 Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I have a aria diamond 12 string acoustic model#6714 serial#23734. Does anyone know the year & how much it is worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 pics? Without pics it's impossible for any of us to tell you anything. Aria has been around for a long long time. Welcome to the forum btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 If this is the model, around $50-75, in excellent condition, less if in rougher condition. These date to the early 70s and are of laminate construction, including the top. Most had the bolt-on-from-the-back necks and screw-adjustable bridges, which drops the value.

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 I don't know if it's my software TAH but I cannot see the image. I figured you might know what year the guitar was from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Glenn F Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 Can't see it either. My first guitar, wayyy back in 1974, was an Aria 12 string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 One with the same model number 6714 was sold on eBay years back and it says it was made in 1967. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/aria-diamond-12-string-guitar-vintage-78002074 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Terry Allan Hall Posted June 12, 2012 Members Share Posted June 12, 2012 One with the same model number 6714 was sold on eBay years back and it says it was made in 1967. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/aria-diamond-12-string-guitar-vintage-78002074 Got one, for my 15th b'day, in '71 (my 1st 12-string), but Aria may have started offering them earlier. Sadly, the store had two for the same price ($99)...that Aria (brand new) and a Guild F112 (used)...my parents decided that the Aria was better, because it was new. My buddy, Scott, got the Guild and still has it, and, one neck reset and two fretjobs later, it sounds excellent...my Aria, otoh, was beyond repair in about 4 years, due to the face caving in and the plywood de-laminating.
