Members tim gueguen Posted April 10, 2007 Members Share Posted April 10, 2007 I can guess that given the serial number it might be a 1990s Korean made model. But we really need pictures, or a thorough description of its shape, hardware etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tim gueguen Posted April 12, 2007 Members Share Posted April 12, 2007 S would seem to indicate Samick, and the 4 1994. I've never heard of a pre '87 Aria having an S serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kentdog007 Posted March 4, 2013 Members Share Posted March 4, 2013 Hello, Cannot seem to post a new topic so I hope some are still monitoring this old post. I recently acquired a beautiful Aria Pro II FA-70, looks to be a spot on copy of a Gibson L5? Sunburst, dual humbuckers, solid back and top, nice set neck (3-piece, no scarf joint) There is no country of manufactuing on the guitar, PO indicated it was a late 1980s, early 90's date. Serial number is S020512265. I have been to the commonly referenced serial dating page for Arias with no firm answer. My best guess is that it is a Samick/Korea produced model. Sounds and looks amazing, has a perfect hardshell case. I wanna price it so I don't ask too much for it but in my mind it rivals $1000+ hollowbodies I have played/heard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Strings Posted April 1, 2013 Members Share Posted April 1, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an Aria Pro ii XR, made in 87 in Japan by Matsumoku. It's blue with 2 singles and a humbucker. Should have a push/pull to turn the humbucker into a single coil.

The serial number checker is full of mistakes. (Tells me my Chinese made Ibanez were made in Korea.) Aria has changed their serial number system at least 4 times that I am aware of. Starting with a 5, could be made in 72, 77, 85, 87. Pictures would be a big help, since we can cross check the model with the years the model was available. (I'm somewhat the el facto expert on Aria's round these parts.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
