For about a few years now I've had an acoustic guitar in my possession. I have spent countless hours in chat rooms, professional sites, and every music center I can find, but no one can give me any information, not even the supposed manufacturers. 😣

It's an Acoustic Guitar, and the label inside reads

Aria Pro II
Handcrafted fine guitars
Model No. PC 200
Serial No. 900500007
Made in Korea.

I'd be grateful if anyone has any information, or can point me to someone who might.

(And I know, you wouldn't think it would be that hard to figure out, but obviously I'm clueless)

Information for what??
☣ 🎸ӈɪƖƖßıƖƖγ🎸☣ Oct 5, 2012

Is it laminated? Is the neck glued or bolted?

I'm not entirely sure if its laminated, but the neck appears to be glued.

Google your details and that should help. Im not sure what you want, so I can't help, but there were some sites I saw.

It does nothing 😔
I've done it over and over and it gives nothing.

When I searched it, I typed in all the details followed by acoustic guitar. Try that maybe?
🔰ℬཞüęℵǿཞ🔰 Oct 5, 2012

I have, many times. In every possible combination of details I can think of, not a single useful source has been provided. I can't find any record of an Aria model PC 200 being built.

Yep. They sent me to danabgoods, the "US" aria distributor, and Dana sent me back to Aria 😒

A glued neck is good. Look at the rim of the sound hole. Can you see wood grain on it or does it look like a piece of wood that is sandwiched between two other pieces of wood?

Sandwiched. Thick dark wood between thin lighter woods.

I'm hotrods gf. Aria was first called just "Aria". Later it's name changed and became Aria Pro 2. The Aria
pro 2's were first made by Matsumoku....a Japanese based company hired to build Gibson guitars, telecasters, etc along with some high end brands of their own. They also produced copies...some thought to be other than legal...but I'm unsure of the outcome on that from a legal standpoint. The co. was bought by Westone. They did some westone-gibson stuff and also continued with the Aria Pro 2's for a while. I do not have the total list of series/model #'s but I think it's an 89. 90 at the latest. However I also think it's likely a "L*P*C, making it a copie of an Aria Pro 2. I will have to ask my fellow tech to check his full list. He is still on tour so may take a while to get back to me. Meanwhile...you can visit Ariapro2guitars.com Become a member if ya want. I think it's still free. Hope this helps

Sandwiched. Thick dark wood between thin lighter woods.
It is probably a beginner-intermediate level guitar worth 200-400 dollars. That's about all I can tell you without more details.
