Pan or Aria Vintage Guitars
I am interested in buying a used PAN guitar, c.early '70's. It is a hollow body or semi-hollow body (not sure what to call it) and seems to be in good condition, but is unstrung at the moment.. Fellow I know has been sitting on it for a few years. Beautiful color, sort of re/orange (sunburst?). I have been trying to research it on the internet and I know they are made by Aria. Any one on here have any knowledge or familiarity with this guitar? It was/is made in Japan I believe.:

I assume it is an acoustic? I took a peek and it is not listed in any aria reviews. I suspect that it is known by another name. Is there a label in the sound hole with more information

There is no record of a Pan made by Aria in the 70s that I could find. They used two letters or number designations or combinations of the two.May have been made for a third party maker who slapped their own label on it.

Aria or Pan
Per my research, Aria guitars wer made by Arai company in Japan. Pan was also one of their labels. Sort of like Squier is by Fender, Epiphone by Gibson etc.
It is a hollow-body, or semi-hollow body electric. Unfortunately I don't have access to it now so I'll have to see if I can get more info. It somewhat resembles an Aria model FA70 that can be found on the following link.

Help!!
I need help from you guys. I have a Pan by Aria guitar. It used to belong to my mom and she bought in the early 1970's. It says it is model number 9600 and is in good condition. The body has no scratches on it and the fretboard is still very playable. It also has all original parts. I was wondering if anybody knew how much this guitar could be worth? I'm just wondering? Thanks

You would have to email the company most likely. I doubt it would have much value over it's purchase price unless there is a nostalgia market.
