Ladies and gents, I'm trying to date some of my guitars, and have a question. Is there anyone who knows the years for the different logotypes? And maybe also what models that have had the different ones. My question at the moment is about my PE-150 and my LS-something. They both have the Aria in cursive and the PRO II in bold vertical text. I have estimated the both of them to be from 76-77, but I'm not sure.
I would look through the available online catalogs (pdfs) and see if that can give you a reference. But there could be overlap as-in leftover necks that already had the inlays used on newer bodies, etc. Existing guitars in the wild don't always adhere to the specifications in the catalogs/promotions.
