: I recently aquired this guitar and would appreciate any information about it. Serial Number is 64153 and it was made in Nagoya Japon (spelling as per label).
: thanks

Let me know if you learn anything. I have a similar guitar I bought about 8 years ago in New York (also the MH80 model, but I don't see a serial number). According to the Aria website, these were made in 1980 and 1981, and although the company is Japanese ("Arai & Co." -- Mr. Arai reversed the vowels of his name for what I suppose are obvious reasons) and based in Nagoya, I'd like to think the guitar was handcrafted in Spain, like Arai & Co.'s other classical guitars. I enjoy mine -- very good sound. The wood appears to be like those advertised from the company's current series of classical guitars: spruce top, rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard. That's all I can tell you.
