    Hi there,
    new here and this is my first post!
    Mostly an archtop fan I'm thinking to buy an Aria pro II FA 70 or FA 71...
    While searching the web I stumble across one wich look like an Aria Pro but it doesn't
    wear any logo on the headstock!
    Anyone to have seen such a distinctive characteristic on guitar of this brand?

    It's not super rare to find an unbadged Japanese guitar, although that is a Korean one.
    Looks like it's not been played for a very long time.

    It is as you said, an Aria FA-70, Even if it was an early Korean factory prototype, that doesn't likely make it any more interesting.
    Most Korean guitars of this era have little or no collectable value (yet).

    Thanks for the answer!
    Yet I've at least two collectable so to speak ;-) And I'm actually looking for an everyday gig workhorse and those Aria sound not that bad...
