Anyone familiar with Aria A-560?
I posted this question in another thread about laminates, but realized I would probably get my answer better if I did it as a stand alone thread
I am not a true classical guitarist, so please forgive my ignorance. I have an Aria A-560 from around 1970. I have always thought it had great sound and projection. I had assumed it was solid wood, but now believe it is laminate with a solid top. I assume you would consider it a student level guitar. It has aged out really well. Is anyone familiar with this model, and how is it regarded in the world of classical guitars?

High end model. Is there a stamp on the label, Aria in the center, Ryoji Matsuoka along the curved top?

No stamp on the label.
My luthier said this week it is one of the best sounding guitars he has worked on. IMG_6306.jpgIMG_6307.jpg

"For a few years during the late 1960s and early 1970s, Matsuoka produced the higher end Aria guitar models for Shiro Arai, founder of Aria . These Aria models either have Ryoji Matsuoka's name on the label or are marked RM with a red stamp on the neck block."
I can't remember where I ran across this copy.
