2001 Marlen 3x5 S-10 in excellent condition

Post by Jeffrey Shu »

This is a beauty - a late-model (2001) built by Mike Calaway in beautiful woodgrains with almost no bar dings. The only reason I'm even considering selling her is because I bought a D10 Marlen from Mike himself, and don't want her just sitting around unplayed.

She's got an Emmons E9 setup and a Bill Lawrence 705 humbucking pickup original to the guitar that produces a wonderfully clear and warm tone.

I am the 2nd owner. It's been cared for and in excellent shape. Stadler's patented changer design produces no metal-on-metal wear, so she'll be singing for a long time to come. No noticeable cabinet drop, though I do run a wound .22 6th string to keep it in tune when working the changer hard. Additional pics available upon request.

Asking $2050. For now, local pickup only but I'm willing to drive several hours to meet. PM or email.

This looks like a really great deal here. I can't buy this myself, but somebody is going to be happy with this one for sure. Great price, and nice road trip. Tommy.....

Thanks, Tommy. I have absolutely loved this guitar, but finally committed to try to learn C6. Thought long and hard about keeping it, but someone should be playing her. I also would like very much to stay married :-).
