As information becomes available on specific brands and models, this is where you will find it. We gather what we can, and make it freely available here, but we could sure use your help. Thanks to many selfless contributors this section has grown considerably, and for this we are grateful. We have recieved literally thousands of requests for information on models not currently covered here.
Please please read on BEFORE you contact us. If we don't have it here, we don't have it. We are sure there are people coming here that DO have this information.
Won't you please consider offering it? If you are a catalog/guitar collector and have catalogs/slicks covering these guitars we emplore you to contribute as this will only increase the value of your holdings. It's our hope that people will come forward with specifications, years offered, options, and even images or catalog/slick scans and the like to help build this archive. Occasionally a special individual comes forward with additions, and hopefully you are one.
As always, anyone contributing will most definitely get credit for their work! We do our best to give credit where credit is due, and at least that way those of you contributing are made well aware of our appreciation and gratitude! The catalog scans are approximately 1180 pixels wide to keep the text ligible. Some models are represented by crops from these images and therefore not of the best quality. If you have a model that is poorly represented we always welcome good pictures and use whatever we can. Acoustics are covered only in the catalog scans. If you're not able to find any info on your guitar be sure to.

Using the resources here for financial gain without concern for the source and effort expended by all the contributors here is extremely disrespectul to say the least.

Hey all, i recently posted this in the 'other guitars' section.but now that I see there is a Aria Discussion here, i thought i would repost it here., I recently went to guitar center and there on the wall was this most beautiful Aria ES-335 copy staring at me. I played it, and it played like butter, and sounded fantastic. I walked out of the store with the guitar and hardshell case for 235 dollars.
On further inspection, under the Aria logo on the headstock, I could clearly see(professionally filled in) was a Greco name. The Aria Logo was installed in mother of pearl over it. The Greco Logo was the exact font used by Gibson. I have a good friend with a vintage ES-335 and he brought it over so we could compare the 2 side by side. It is literally a dead nuts copy of the 335. I looked on the matsumoku site to see if I could find a model number on it.
(There is no serial number or model number anywhere on my guitar). The only guitar I could find closely resembling it was the 5502. But this guitar has no bolt on neck plate.it is built just like the 335 with the neck joining the body. I was told by another player that this guitar was one of the first issues and it should date to the early 70's. Does anyone have a site I could go to and determine the model number on it?
I have looked high and low and can not find it in any of the older Aria guitar catalogs. Some say it is a 'Lawsuit' guitar which does not interest me because I have no interest in selling it. Hopefully there is a player out there with one like it and could lead me in the right direction and thanks Hugh for pointing me here 0)). Click to expand.So 'they' say. Aria probably opened a plant in the USA as part of a trade agreement. Japanese companies were doing this at that time to enable them to sell their other products in the USA.
This is just a hypothesis on my part. The guitars may have been assembled in the USA of foreign parts also. Not a lot of info out there but the Aria Fullertons apparently were made in the USA in the mid to late 90s. Their factory was in Fullerton, California I guess, hence the name 'Fullerton'.
Hopefully someone around here has more knowledge of this. Toyota and other Japanese companies opened auto plants in the USA during this time to assemble cars. The parts were often shipped in from Japan and assembled in the USA to utilize American labor thereby circumventing tariff restrictions and quotas on foreign cars. They are still made here.
