thanks Alan, I think this would be a fair price for this guitar, it's not perfect, needs little TLC, and a nice case, and it would be a kicking butt steel...

Hey folks this is a very rare mica covered Pull-release Marlen; that Damir has for sale. From the era of the pull-release Marlen's; they were 95% Lacquer finished, so this was a very custom ordered Marlen...and would make anyone a proud owner to have one like it. I would even venture to say it would be one of the last pull-released Marlen built before Leonard designed the ONLY patent all pull changer in very late 70's(and yes he did design a all-pull changer way before most; but never used it and was the only one with a patent; when he introduced it on a marlen in late 70's-early 80').
What is the serial number on this Damir??
Ricky

Yes I'm sure Steve still loves the Marlen I did up for you.

Webb, I'm selling it that cheap because I got it in trade, so just passing on a good deal... needs a case, thats about it, it is very clean underneath, has a little crack in mica behind the back neck, so you can't see it from the front ( there is no crack in the body, just the mica) , just needs little super glue, and on the front little black mica edge on the bottom is missing, but it's painted black, so it's hard to see a difference... but guitar plays and sounds very good...for this price is well worth it, IMHO
