I have an Aria guitar that I'm trying to figure out how old it is and what its worth. I can't find any information on it anywhere, even from their website. The model number is AWGAGP-2N and the serial number is 66106258. Any help would be appreciated.

If you put "aria acoustic" before the model number, things come up. Not much actual info (not too surprising, as I imagine it would be an 'affordable' acoustic), but some for sale to give you an idea of value.
This is a red 2R (I'm assuming your 2N is natural colour) listed at 700 Rand (~US$80) but I don't know if this has sold and if it is, therefore, a realistic price.
A starting price of US $70 attracted no bids. Placed pretty much at what I expect is its value. A $1 start might have got up to $60-$70 as the auction ran.
This thread suggests it has a plywood/laminate body, which also doesn't surprise me. You're looking around US$60 and my guess is manufacture in the region of late 1980s to 1990s.
