I found this on Aria and their serial numbers:Īrai and Company, founded in 1953 in Japan by Shiro Arai, began marketing Aria brand acoustic guitars in 1960, and began manufacturing its own acoustic guitars in 1964, followed by electrics in 1966, using Arai, Aria, Aria Diamond, and Diamond brand names. And a Tele JV would perhaps be even more collectible than a Strat.
It looks like they didn't the right glue.ĭidn't you keep the JV? It's worth much more than in 1983 I think. I had this problem once with a second hand Aria SL (maple fretboard). They wouldn't refund me so I swapped it for a used Fender JV Tele with the big Fender logo. It turned out the fingerboard was coming off at the nut. Had it a week then took it back to the shop because the guitar would not stay in tune. My Pe-1000 has the somewhat interesting serial of 088088. Saying that $510 was a bargain even if it was a PE1000. There are no other identifying marks on the guitar denoting model number. The two models are only seperated by the jacaranda board and it's pretty hard to tell by photograph alone or the sellers interpretation. unless you are an expert or, you can inspect the guitar in the flesh, there is no way of telling if this guitar was a PE1500 or a PE1000. Ginger, I've been down this road several times with the old top end PE range. Is that 1980?Īria always have a place in my heart, because I started on them in the early 70's. Don't know if the DiMarzio pickups were original.īut I was wondering about the interpretation of that serial number 088xxx. This nice Vintage Aria The Pro II PE-1500 went for only $510.-Īs far as I can read the serial number, it's 088133.įor me personally that's interesting, because my Aria Pro II L-1000 (blonde Super-V copy = L5CES with a Super 400 neck) is a 088xxx serial number too.
