About This Site
.
Here
you'll find all the information the site contributors have managed to glean
including model/label specifications and examples, catalogs, and our forums.
This site had it's humble
beginnings in the author's home directory in 1998. By December of 2000
it had grown to the point it needed it's own dedicated home and the Guitar
Gallery was born and it grew exponentially. It now exists as an archive
of the guitars our members love so much. We hope the visit is worthwhile,
informative and entertaining.
Guitar Specifications
and Information
The
archives
here contain the information our community has managed to gather. Much
work and time has gone into this archive. In this section you will find
specifications such as neck scale, pickup types, finishes and woods to
name a few. The brands covered here are Aria, Aria Pro II, Vantage, Skylark
and Washburn of Japanese origin, specifically those guitars made by Matsumoku.
Serial number and dating info has been moved HERE.
