Important Information
The Aria W‑50D delivers a bold, resonant tone with rich midrange warmth and detailed highs thanks to its Makassar back and sides paired with a spruce top. Its dreadnought body and slim neck profile make it comfortable for both strummers and fingerpickers seeking top-of-the-line vintage Japanese craftsmanship.
If you think this particular looks familar, you're definitely on to something. The W-50D is heavily inspired by the the classic Martin D-41 model that was first introduced in the late 1960s.
Built by Matsumoku in 1970, this model is a favourite among collectors and vintage enthusiasts, including players drawn to the legacy of high-quality acoustics from Japan’s golden era of dupes with second-to-none quality.
