<p> thanx for pix. I spoke to Bobby this morning & we are both excited & surprised that Herb's guitar has surfaced.</p>

<p> Not sure what the serial #s indicate - both these guitars were in existence before 1978. I had thought 75 was yr of mnftre - obviously not according to other serial #.</p>
<p> Thank you very much for sharing info & pix.</p>
<p>Enjoy food & friends & above all the music of the season,</p>

Hello Dean, Here is some pics of my guitar. It's identical to Bobbys down to the rotting binding, which i had to remove, it pretty much popped off. I replaced<br />
the tuners and the nut. Whats really interesting is the serial #, his is 78010375 mine is 78010362 it looks like. What i remember when i bought the guitar, from a local jazz guitarist, he told me Herb Ellis gave this guitar to Emily. It was 30 years ago so not that big of a deal back then, they were both still alive. Hope the pics upload…

<p> Hi Rob,</p>

<p>Variations on a theme: I think many of the inconsistancies & evolution in design were most likely due to the fact that copying top brand guitars was a rapidly growing young industry & copyright laws were growing with it.

The earliest prototypes ( as this one) were very close copies of the major brands & it is likely changes were made ( headstock) after a phone call from Mr Gibson's lawyer. Just my opinion. It is due to the design of Bobby's Aria that I believe it was the very first one made.</p>
<p> I am keen to hear more of these little known & often under rated copies.</p>

Hello, I have Emily Remlers Aria pro 2 Herb Ellis, which has PE-185 as a model #. I live ln New Orleans and have had it since the mid '80s. I've always wondered about this, thought it was a typo error or something. This is the first i've heard of demo models or anything. Thanks for the info. Rob Bauer.

<p>Ugh...I just realized the one I linked to that "shares all similarities to the one in your shop" has a venetian cutaway. Oh well...</p>
