First set of strings in 29 years means you don't pound on that box hard enough.

Wow ... that's incredible mileage out of a set of strings. I'll bet you can really notice the difference ... you must be very pleased! I use the Elixir coated ones on the Acoustics, and still like to change them every 3 months for a nice bright sound.

This guitar was in storage for that time,   it was given to me last month, owner just didn't want it anymore.

I was in the right place at the right time...it plays real easy, straight neck, very good condition.. I used Dean

Markleys on it huge difference in sound, fit's nicely in my collection....

Re: NSD

So satisfying to resurrect a forgotten treasure like you have there. That would be one of the Japanese-made instruments from the highly reputable Matsumoko factory in Japan, where Aria guitars were also made back in the day. You've got a real collector's piece there, as well as a very nice guitar!

Very happy for you, Badeye!
