Pre Loved Aria AW75T 12 String

This Aria AW75T 12-String Acoustic Guitar is a vintage-style 12-string and is in good used condition. It has some light wear, including a mark on the back of the neck and some sticker residue on the back of the headstock. It belongs to the AW (Aria Western) series and is generally considered a solid mid-range instrument from the late 1980s to early 1990s, with many examples produced in Korea.

Overview

• Type: 12-string acoustic guitar

• Body style: Dreadnought-style steel-string acoustic

• Typical era: Around 1990

• Origin: Often made in Korea

• Finish: Usually natural gloss wood finish

The 12-string configuration means each standard guitar string is paired with another string. This produces a rich, shimmering “chorus-like” sound that is fuller and brighter than a standard 6-string guitar.

Construction & Materials

Typical specifications for the AW75T include:

• Top: Spruce

• Back & sides: Mahogany

• Neck: Mahogany

• Fingerboard: Rosewood

• Bridge: Rosewood

• Tuners: Chrome sealed tuners

• Scale length: About 650 mm (25.6 in)

The spruce top and mahogany body combination is common on acoustic guitars because it gives a balanced tone with clear highs and warm midrange.

Sound & Playability

Tone characteristics:

• Bright, chiming high frequencies

• Rich harmonic overtones from the doubled strings

• Wide, full sound when strumming

These guitars are commonly used for:

• Folk and acoustic rock

• 1960s-style jangly rhythm parts

• Layered acoustic recordings

Because a 12-string has higher string tension, the neck and setup are important for comfortable playability.

Summary:
The Aria AW75T is a Korean-built vintage 12-string acoustic with spruce and mahogany construction. It produces the classic bright, shimmering 12-string sound and is considered a reliable and affordable instrument from the Aria Western series.
