I gathered those 3 guitars together on one page, these guitars are some kind of mystery,the name arirang is
a korean word so korean made you should think.
The same guitars also were on the market branded harimu, wich is a indonesian word, it’s getting more
complicated, also under the name jarock there were similar guitars available and those are confirmed to be
made by ibanez.
The country of origin is still a mystery but ‘Korea is the most likely candidate, not in the leats becasue the
bluebook of guitars and the guitarguru guide both say it’s a made in korean brand.
There is a lot of confusion around the country of origin because the older cheap plywood guitars were made
in japan and this is always clearly stamped in the neckplate.
So anyone who can help me solve this mystery please tell!!
These 3 models are the most common:

The 24 frets necktrough model with a monstruos fat neck in many colourst the
blonde and darkstained are the most common but i’ve also seen one stained green
and recently even a pink stained one.
And the 24 frets necktrough
with a germanized carved top,
the rarest of the three.
