A beautiful Aria model FA-71, dating from 2009 and made in Korea.

 

I'm inferring from the serial that this was made at the Samick plant, who were responsible for producing some of the sought after Korean-made Epiphone models of the same period. I believe they made a Sunburst and Natural variant, with this being the latter.

 

A beautiful 17 ich archtop, very well built to the exacting standards of the builders at the Korean guitar factories of the period. 

 

Features a rosewood fretboard with split block inlays, what looks to be an ebony (or equivalent ebonised darkwood) bridge and a neatly factory-fitted gold mini humbucker-style pickup with vol/tone controls to the pickguard.

 

Mint, barely used and very well-kept. I acquired this with some nice (used) heavy flatwound strings, which I have left on as they complement the guitar well and are fairly expensive in their own right. There is the odd very small mark (I'm reluctant to ever describe anything as 'mint', but this is very close). Frets are excellent with very minimal wear, plays very nicely and sounds fantastic.

 

Comes with an unrelated good quality Epiphone jazz guitar soft case as pictured.
