Hi anyone,

meanwhile I got antoher one :smile:
It seems to be an Aria PE - but I have NO idea how old or which model this is.
The serial number is 068003 - that makes no sense (or is it from the future 2006 :wink:)
The neck is bolt on. On the head is written
'Designed & Approved by H.Noble , Original Custom Body P.No.555719 A Product of Matsumoku 4 11 N.M'
Is it built in Japan or Korea ?

Here I have some pictures:

Any help would be fine !

Claus

Hi Claus
I can tell you one thing, it is Japanese. With the "Matsumoku" marking on the headstock you can be sure of that!!

It looks similar to my PE-1000. http://www.therathole.org/guitars/visit ... illbo.html But you say it is a bolt on. Can you get a photo of the entire guitar front and back? That might help.

By the look of the tailpiece/bridge (noble supermatic I believe they called it) It is probably 1980 model. I don't think they were using this in 1986 - - Neal, correct me if I'm wrong!
