Not sure which Lyle this is but they are also part of the Univox - Aria family of Japanese electrics.
Long time Bourgeois endorser Keith Sewell is a busy man. You might have seen him with any number of great acts including Ricky Skaggs, The Dixie Chicks, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas or Earl Scruggs. Most recently he has played mandolin and acoustic guitar for Lyle Lovett and His Large band. A serial number ending in 501 could be the first instrument made at factory #5 that day, or it could be the 501 st instrument of the day. Looking for Gibson Guitars? There you have it! There are many exceptions, and of course many other brands out there, but now you can tell how old most Fenders or Gibsons are within seconds.

Lyle Acoustic Guitar Serial Numbers Pre 1975
howdy,
My hubby just inherited his grandfather's guitar. I have tried to find out as much as i can about it, but there seems to be a serious lack of info regarding these guitars. And everything I have found thus far, does not resemble what we have in ANY Way! What I do know about Lyles if I'm not mistaken, is that they were made by Aria at the Matsumoto Guitar Factory until it got taken out in a fire in 1988. They were made for Gibson, they were cheap when made although very good quality and sound. and they are kinda rare. Here's what we have. Any info we can get on it would be great. I want to make sure it is properly protected both for sentimental value and for insurance purposes if needed. Here's what I got: It is rosewood fretboard on mahogany neck, solid brass bridge, stainless steel keys, mother of pearl inlay on the fret board. It also has black laquered pick gaurd with mother pearl floral design. Body has ivory (not sure if it's genuine) binding, Lyle logo on headpiece is gold leafing. The label on the inside of the guitar says its a model 710 but there is no serial number next to the serial space. What is the deal with these guitars? I cant even find anything on Lyle much less this particular model. Any info anyone can give would be awesome. Thanks
