Re: Vester/aria guitars?
Just google Aria guitars. Matsumoku was building all Aria guitars in Japan until the late 80's. Copies and Aria's own models. Some were excellent. I owned one in the 80's. Production of cheaper models was done in Korea afterward. Aria is still around and I think they still make some of their higher end guitars in Japan. But the cheaper stuff is made in China now. Last I saw a new Aria was probably 10 or 12 years ago and I wasn't overly impressed but I think they were cheaper, Chinese made models.
