two years pass...

actually apparently it's a puerto rican cuatro 10-string guitar. Anyone know what make? (longshot I realize)

What if anything can anyone tell me about the Aria Japanese Gibson clones? There's a local dude selling a cheap lawsuit era '70s Aria J180 Everly Brothers jumbo and it looks pretty cool:

idk about their acoustics but I have a generally favorable impression of Aria

my second bass was an Aria knockoff of the classic 80s Kramer strat type body with P/J pickups and a pointy head stock, still have it for sentimental reasons

I just have had such a tough time pulling the trigger on any acoustic. I've got some nice electrics, but my only acoustic is my original Seagull starter, which has always been hard to play. There is just such a wide range of craft/sound/price to acoustics, and unlike electrics there's no easy way to, say, swap out the pickups.

I bought a 1971 yamaha acoustic from a consignment shop a decade ago and it's probably the best $100 I've ever spent, if that can be extrapolated to other 70s japanese acoustics. It sounds good and plays really well and was in great shape, but isn't as nice as my cousin's 90s Martin that I babysat for a while.

I didn't realize it at the time but it's a red label 'nippon gakki' model that people kind have a thing for; the cheapest one on reverb right now is $600 and is in much worse condition so I feel like I got a crazy score

This one is I guess all maple, with a glued headstock repair. They're asking $390, which is a lot lower than the going rate (and this particular Everly one doesn't come up in many searches) but ... yeah, I dunno.
