Your guitar reminds me of an Aria. I don't recognize it as an "offical" Aria model but it sure looks like it could have been produced in the Matsumoku factory in the early 1970's.  For grins, compare it to this Aria 1532T pictured on the Guitar Gallery site.
The body shape of yours is close to the 1532T, but the headstock looks more like my 1832T. See it here:
The kicker is those offset dot inlays. Where have I seen those before?
Anyway, I put my money on Matsumoku.  Thanks for taking the time to post a picture of this instrument. Very interesting.  sbStatistics: Posted by VintAxe — Sat Dec 02, 2006 1:42 pm
