I would like to have one of the Marlin guitars. Probably not one with a paint scheme that radical though.

| This is truly a "universal" steel. It could've played Philadelphia Freedom with Elton John, or Act Naturaly with Buck, and looked at home on stage with both! |

I wonder if that was built for our bicentennial celebration.

If I had that guitar I would slide over the fountain at Ceaser's Palace on it. 
It's not ugly - you just have to be able to pull it off.

| Scott Hay, I didn't think about that. Of course it's the Marlen-Davidson Evel Knievel model. I bet old Evel coulda jumped a bunch of em end to end. |

Make no mistake about it. The finish on this guitar is totally out there! I would buy it and proudly play it in a heartbeat, if I had the extra cash laying around.
Nothing else could say "mid 70's" like the finish on this guitar. This guitar reminds me of a lot of my elementary school art projects. |

I remember, back in the 70's, that, Jeff Newman played a red, white, and blue steel. I don't remember if it was a Marlen or not. He always sounded good on anything, though.
BTW- I like the steel! |
