I guess Matsumoku didn't get the memo.

Your guitar is basically an Aria 5002T from around 1971. I'm sure David Wexler imported this instrument from the Matsumoku factory that was producing Arias at the time and just slapped on his Conrad brand name.
Here's a little thumbnail history:
As far as personal experience with the guitar, it's probably been a couple of years since I've played any of my late 1960's Aria hollowbodies but this is what I remember.
I like the neck
The tuners are ok but you can knock the guitar out of tune with spirited strumming
The pickups are good but not great. We used one of my Arias for the first 4 chords of the "Hey Ma Outro". It's also used on all the solo guitar bits. You can hear the tone if you go to my band myspace page and scroll to the bottom of our demo list:
I think I remember you can make the sucker feedback if you crank the volume to LOUD. I've always used these as recording instruments.
In general, I think they are well regarded for instruments that fall in the $200-$400 price range.
Hopefully the Harmony Central link I sent can give you more insight into the guitar. sb
