To my knowledge, there is no information from Bizarre Guitars of the 60's available on the net. It is an out of print Japanese publication that is rare and expensive to purchase these days. I've sold many copies over the years for $200 each. My source for these copies has dried up but I do still have a couple of copies left on the "Books For Sale" page. Definitely a resource for the true Japanese Guitar fan and not for the faint of heart.

Also, I found a reference to a model 1282 R-325,1968-1970, on the Guitar Gallery Matsumoku site. No mention of a model 1262. Hollow body chart,second from the bottom model.Unfortunately,no picture.
What do you think?

It looks to me like you have a 1968 Aria Diamond model 1262. Here's a picture from a reproduced Aria catalog that is in Bizarre Guitars of the 60's. The picture is pretty small, but I think it is your guitar.

It is also a little odd as far as size. 12.5" UB, 10" waist, 17" LB, 41.25" over all.
