I've been told it's an Ibanez, tho' there is no name on the headstock or serial number. Does anyone have any info or opinion as to what I have here? Harry Username: Harry Registered: 03-2001 Posted on Tuesday, February 28, 2006 - 8:15 am:    Hi Bobbytobasco I don't think it is an Ibanez. -- The headstock is totally different from de Ibanez version. -- The dot inlays on the fretboard are much bigger. -- The routings in the body are different. thanks to the plexi scratch plate we can see this. If it were an Ibanez this scratchplate would not be the original one. --It seems that your guitar is somewhat thinner and that the edges of the body are more rounded. No idea what brand it could be, but I assume it's not Ibanez. Here's a pictur of mine to compare.

I have a similar model to yours except the tail piece is different and was found in Melbourne. I would have thought it is an Aria but I have seen a catologue photo of the Aria which is similar to the Ibanez in scratchplate and pups configuration. Regards, Meranti
