*** PLEASE NOTE ***
Due to a large number of inquiries please check the notes below.
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. Through 1987, Aria guitars serial numbers represented the year of manufacturer as either the first one or first two digits of the serial number. For example, a guitar made in 1978 might have the first two digits of 78 or the first digit of 8. Determine whether your guitar's first two digits are 81 or higher. I acquired an ARIA acoustic guitar today. The owner thought it was probably 20 years old but was not sure. I think it is probably a basic model even though it has binding used. I have looked on the ARIA site with no luck how to read the serial number. Not sure if the 66 means 1966 or not as one other site suggested. Any assistance would be.
