Hi All,

Two days ago I bought this very nice guitar!
I suspect it to be an Ibanez pre lawsuit model.
I can't find any model or serial number on it?!

Could anyone tell me more on this instrument?

Regards and thanx,

Casper,

Your guitar might be an Ibanez copy, but she could also be an ARIA copy of a Gibson Super 400/ L5CSE.

Maybe someone else out there might have solid info on the guitars idenity.

The fingerboard inlay & headstock are Super 400 style. The Body size and tailpiece is more L5CES style. I'm guessing she has a 17" body?

Either way its a great guitar!

What type of pickups are in her?
How does she sound?

Haven't we had this discussion before?

Ibanez is a Hoshino Gakki brand name. This guitar does not wear the Ibanez brand. Therefore, it's not an Ibanez.

It may be another Hoshino Gakki product, however.

Has an Ibanez shaped truss rod cover though. Did Aria use the same cover as I am unsure?
