Hi Guys,

First of all congratulations for the great site. You provide good information.

I was looking in the site about the model “1362 G”. As it’s missing in the site.
Do you have any information about this model? I have one and want to contribute with the site.

Kind Regards
Adan

Welcome Adan!
If its missing, we could probably use any info you can help with. Pics are a big plus as well.
If you like, you could send it to me for a full inspection. I promise I'll send it back. . .

eventually. . . :devil2:

:rofl:

Hi Jorg, I’ve added a pic. The label inside says “1362 G” Made in Japan. Serial number starting with 1786xx.

Oh mommy! That's nice! :hyper:

The thing that struck me as unusual was the placement of the pickup selector on the lower bout instead of the more common upper bout.

On the Westone forums, a new (to us) model surfaced not too long ago called the King II which does have the toggle in the same location as yours:

I can't find any Mats guitar which has the same chevron shaped tailpiece as this Aria. They mainly seem to be straight across.

I was thinking the same about the tail. Could it have been replaced?

I spot this ad in the reverb site. Practically same as mine I’m unsure if this is how they were made.

I stand corrected on the tail. :doh:
They look like mirror images. I love 'em!!
