1978 model. Good condition. Excellent playability. Crisp treble. Low E-string a little muffled but fairly good (could be the string). A and D sounds excellent Tuning and tuners fine and reliable. I enjoy playing this instrument. The spruce top have clearly matured. Have a fine 1969 Aria A 585 as my number one instrument as well. No need to buy a expensive modern instrument for me.
