I am cleaning up the same guitar, ame model. Really all it needs is a new saddle and the adjusting nuts but as soon as I find that it will probably be great

how much is this guitar? because my dads friend from work found this guitar in his basement just sitting there so he gave it to me and its very old and dusty. i cant seem to find this one anywhere so i was wondering how much it is... im curious

[greengtrs]

@Thenameiswillis $100 - $200 range depending on condition and how it plays and sounds...

I bought this exact guitar new around 1969. Always thought the neck felt like an electric and easy to play. Unfortunately the bridge is starting to lift off. I left it stored for several years strung in tune. Wished I had bought a Harmony Sovereign back then.

I played an Aria the other day. Took a few minutes to realize that it was built just like my 95 Martin dreadnaught. Almost every feature was identical and the sound was impressive.

hey I have a 1977 aria 12 string any1 know what its worth?

Amazing! I have the same Aria Diamond guitar. Bought it new in August, 1969. It needs a new nut, frets, and is a bit more "used" looking than this one, but it still plays pretty good.

[greengtrs]

I love how the internet has made this a "smaller" world...

I don't know if it would be worth re-fretting unless there was a lot of sentimental attachment since you would probably be looking at $300 or more worth of work on a guitar you would have a hard time selling for more than $150, but it was a nice guitar. Maybe turn it into a guitar for slide...

Enjoy it!

Thanks for watching!

this sounds way better than those $2,000 martins, too bad its not a cutaway

[greengtrs]

To paraphrase the quote Martin makes regarding their guitars...one out of every ten guitars we make has that special something, that "magic"...Okay...the other side of that coin is that they get it right 1 out of 10 times...not such great odds of finding a good one...but I'll admit when you do find a good one (and I haven't found the odds to be quite so good), they can be absolutely amazing...mind blowing...sell everything you've got and don't look back to get it guitars. Thanks for watching!

[wisesatyr72]

Yeah thanks for the invite and this very thoughtful reply. Yeah you're right about buying guitars and it goes to every consumer goods out there..I supposed not every japanese vintage guitars are great. I had a martin D1 and it was not good, that cost $650 and I bought a $1,000 takamine brand new online and the truss rod was loose and the neck f-up, but I bought a $200 acoustic on ebay, boy that sounded real good, so there you go, dont judged the book by its cover..and Yes Im a guitar junkie..

[3insideout]

How much did you sell it for? I would've bought if I knew it was for sale when it was up.

[greengtrs]

I think it went for like $200 including the shipping...

[3insideout]

That is ridiculously cheap. Good vintage guitars are hard to find and this one sounds great. Only set back for me was it was made in Japan.

[terps108]

@3insideout still better than made in china...

[sdlonyer08]

i have this exact model. she plays amazingly

[antitaleban]

Sounds really good! I'll bet they're pretty difficult to find these days, though.

[wisesatyr72]

you could make zeppelin songs sound good on that guitar I bet

[greengtrs]

Check out from about 4:45 - 5:15 for a Zepp teaser...

[wisesatyr72]

most of my acoustic guitar's bass strings sounded dull compared to how this guitar sounds..Those japanese acoustics are built like tanks, I wished I couldve buy a few of those guitars back then..its a beauty though

How come you said oh goodness at the end!

[greengtrs]

I was kind of worn out/tired when I shot this video...and you can kind of tell...this is a slow moving one. Anyways, I was easily amused with the reflection in the headstock at the beginning and then morphing into "God Bless America" at the end (which I really don't know as I've never actually played it...I was just led by the Spirit...and I knew that I would have to use the "take" no matter how "bad" it came out (BAD...) because America NEEDS Gods Blessings right about now! God Bless US!

[PinkgtrsOfficialYT]

Your guitars reflect a lot, (I got lucky) b/c some of them even reflected your face.

I couldn't tell you were tired, you actually did a pretty good job for a "worn out" man..
