If it is original to the guitar and given the 5 pin din output jack, the likely suspects are Russia, Serbia and the Ukraine. I lived in Estonia and Russia for 20 years and only saw the 5 pin din on guitars made in the USSR.

If the neck has got a truss rod that can be adjusted, it could be a good choice and a real bargain.....The Aria logo, so strnge on such an instrument could be only a mean to say: I'm not living in USSR, I love rock n' roll and I ***** you all!arzeurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428718090034832154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-80769895367978111542014-03-29T10:11:53.334+00:002014-03-29T10:11:53.334+00:00Don't see tapewound strings too often these da...Don't see tapewound strings too often these days!Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03437549917103753142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-2958236067755077792014-03-28T18:12:42.470+00:002014-03-28T18:12:42.470+00:00It has been relisted here at a buy now price of £1...It has been relisted here at a buy now price of £125.00:<br /><br />http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Retro-Electric-Guitar-with-Hofner-Pickup-/310911713052?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4863c83f1c<br /><br />My guess is its Russian. <br /><br />David C.DSRChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00926357650884427996noreply@blogger.com
