Help with Aria?

I came across an Aria dreadnought. It is from the early '80's. It's model no. is 9410 and it also says handcrafted in Japan. Plays well and looks great! The finish has "butterscotched" really good and it looks like an old Martin. Anyone familiar with these? The quality looks very good, are these valuable? Thanks for any help! :wink:

I think I know what model your talking about...Search the unofficial Blueridge guitar forum.....There was a review and alot of info. if I remember correctly.

I used to have an Aria that my Dad bought me for Christmas in 1986. I sold it last year and have kicked myself ever since. It really aged well, especially since I moved to semi-arid Colorado in 1995, having grown up in fairly humid New York State. The build quality was excellent! Not a top-of-the-line $1000+ guitar, mind you, but still very good.

Boy the aria name brings back memories of guitar ad days gone by...
