The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Just store-tested a Cardinal 350 for sale in a second hand local shop. Never heard of Aria Pro II or these guitars before but quality seems to be exceptional. Condition is excellent and all original. Can anyonetell me what's reasonable to pay for such a find? This is Europe (Belgium) - so it might not be as reasonable as in US!

(stamped made in japan - serial no 2120048).

Hi Melotonic!

Normally the go for between $175 to $300 US or so depending on condition, finish, etc., and that is using eBay as a guage. I don't know if this helps, but it easily beats any of the standard Korean fodder hanging on the walls of most music stores today. The one you are looking at is a 1982, just like mine.

I'll probaby move this topic over to the "Specific Models" forum tomorrow or so. Hope you don't mind.

Later!

Thanks a lot for such a quick reaction; it gives me motivation to go back and negotiate !
