The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Hello everybody!

I've just bought this second hand Aria acoustic guitar, marked in the inside label as Model 9600 Fine Quality hand crafted guitars. Made in Japan.

The man who sold it told me that he bought it in Spain in the early 80s but he didn't know when exactly and he did not have any further information.

I was buying it as a second guitar to drop it in a holiday's house, but after some days playing it... I've felt in love with it... despite the time-used marks is very well done, it has an incredible sound, fine touch neck (2 pieces, apparently)...

I've been searching the web but I've found no info apart from an "Ariana" 9600 model:

I wish somebody can help me with the specs. of this guitar, woods, etc.

Maybe it helps to say that it has no internal screw visible from the hole, and it has an adjustable bridge.



Here some (bad) pics.
