Question I have an Aria guitar that belongs to my uncle and don't want him to know I have it til I am done getting it fixed. He got it when he was 15 and he is now around 60. So its pretty old and it needs 1 of the tuning pieces. But I can not find a model any where on it. Is there some special place I should look?
Answer Evan: I think your best bet is to contact the manufacturer, maybe with a picture or detailed description of what you have. A serial number would help a LOT! The difficulty with Aria guitars is that they've made so many different types over the years, and exported them all over the world, that it's harder to track than other makers. Here's a link for the maker: http://www.ariaguitars.com/
Their customer service should be able to help you out.
Good luck!
