In Reply to Classical Guitar in Japan
i can't find any information on this classical guitar-- not on the aria homepage or through any other discussions or forums. i know the guitar is old-- at least 1960's, and was made in japan -- there is an ink stamp (which is mostly illegible) that has the city name "fukuoka" (export city? made in?) and "...by Arai," though i din't know if he personally made it. has anybody ever heard of the model 542? (A542f)? and if so, can you tell me anything about it? (type of wood, year made, etc).
thanks much,
jordan.
A 542FS
Me too...I have Serial number 000128. Got it a long time ago in Sacramento. The Model # is: A542FS.
It's probably worth about the same $100 I bought it for, but one never knows I suppose. Mine will be donated soon no doubt to someone who might have a better feel for music or want an old guitar that looks like it's worth something.
I think I bought this when I was in my late 20's or early 30's and now I'm 68. It needs to be 50 years old, I think, to at least be a collectible, tho.
It's interesting that the name of the guitar is Aria, when the maker's name is Arai as shown inside the guitar.
I own the same guitar! My
I own the same guitar! My dad bought it at a guitar shop in Modesto, CA, when i was 2 years old...so that would have been 1974. incredible sound. They'll bury me with this guitar. i've had it since I was 10 yrs old and it's still in pristine shape. Would love to know its value.

I also own an Aria A542FS, Serial no. 00002. I bought it in San Mateo, California in 1970 for one hundred dollars. Not that I would ever part with it, but I wonder what it could be worth now?

I own an Aria A542F; bought it in 1971 or 1972 in Turlock,CA at Hendrickson Music Store. I am also trying to find information.
