I was given a see thru dark green Aria pro II Fullerton with a wammy bar. The serial number is 5013961. It is in the shop getting new strings and cleaned up. When the guy at the shop first saw it his eyes lit up. He tells me that it has high end hardware on it.

Can anyone tell me when it was built and where. Also a value for insurance

I have a green see thru Pro II but it's not a Fullerton. Never seen a see thru green Pro II Fullerton

They were made in the 90's most likely in Korea. Your's is prolly a 1995' by the serial

model FL-30 and below are worth $175 or less on ebay. I bought an FL10 for $55 bucks.

The higher end Aria Pro II Fullertons had the Wilkinson tremelo (whammy) system. This includes the FL40, 50, and 60. The FL50and 60 had Seymour Duncan or Don Lace pups and were USA made.

The FL-30 had a a wierd looking black tremelo and black gotoh keys.

the rest, FL 05 is a string thru hardtail, the 10and 20 had had regular (but very good) vintage style trems and tuners. You mainly see the FL10 and 20 on ebay.

These are all VERY nicely made strat style guitars, nice woods, nice fit and finish. . By comparison the current Fender Squires are a POS.
