I have a nice 1981 LP copy. It was purchased by the original owner in Germany. Does anyone have any information on this brand?

Arirang is a popular Korean tune.
The guitar brand is Korean too, according to the Blue Book.

I once tried a second hand short scale neck through body guitar by Arirang in Weert, in the South of the Netherlands. It was quite cheap 225 guilders (100 euros) about 10 years ago.

I thought it had something to do with Aria, but never found proof of that. On the contrary. All I found was pointing towards Korea.

I wish I had made a picture of the typography of the decal back then. As I remember it, there were some matches with the Aria logo, but then...
that could be a commercial trick, just like Vester using the Fender typography for its logo.

Neck throughs always keep intrigueing me.

Hi Wietse, welcome,

Of course I've seen your Arirangs on the www.
Nice collection!
