  I have a Dunn as my real guitar and an old Aria M & M for a beach guitar. I am having the neck reshaped a bit so it's closer to the Dunn which was done to order.
  
  It isn't a terrible sounding guitar but it takes a lot of worry out of travelling around when playing for fun

  Likewise, although I don't own a Dunn, this Enorez will be my camping guitar, and really, it's not bad as a rhythm guitar.....albeit a cheap one.

  One of these years when I have the time I am going to take a couple of days and shave the braces on my M & M. It's solid wood with rosewood back and sides and actually taps out pretty well. The problem is, according to a repair buddy who specializes in making old Martins and Gibson's sould like they should. the recycled bridge girders they used for braces. I'll have to turn it into a D hole or round hole to get my hand in. A little piece of Aluminum milled to the parabolic shape I want and a couple of days of listening to GJ music while I sand away and with luck beach guitar will be louder and fuller. 8)

  ENOREZ -
  There is an L.D. Zerone Gypsy Jazz guitar for sale on EBAY with a tweed case for $400.
  This is an ENOREZ (spelled backwards)!
  A few years back I received an email selling something by Emechs Llird (Scheme Drill spelled backwards - almost)!
  I have read that the ARIA and the CORDOBA GJ guitars are made by the same company.

  I own an Aria D-hole and have recently seen and played a Cordoba - I am pretty certan that they come from the same factory. The D hole on both is slightly squarer than other d-holes, very distinctive.
  
  I like my Aria but hated the Cordoba, strange given that they are so similar
  
  Maybe we should be looking out for Abodroc guitars as well !

  I have a bad Cordoba, too. It's just dead....did come with electronics, though, which I may retrofit somewhere else.
  I just hope someday I can afford a Remles guitar. Heard they're pretty good. ;-)

  Good luck with finding a Remles - I'll hold out for an Otasub or an Onivaf

  Whoever put Onivaf in the same eugael with Remles and Otasub should consider buy a Nofilpma device...
