Joe,
Stadler Music Co is no longer doing business, as Leonard Stadler passed away a little over a year ago. Ricky Davis is probably the best active Forum guy for getting advice, as Dunc has already said. These are great sounding guitars, once they're set up. Hang in there.
What the serial no. on that guitar?

| Johnny, as a former owner of one of those old Marlens, I've gotta say, that's as good an explanation of tuning as I've ever seen, heard, or dreamed up! I don't own the guitar anymore, but I still want to say thanks! |

Johnny Barham has helped me in the past. He knows as much about Marlens as anyone I know. Thanks again Johnny for donating your time to those in need.
Ricky Davis also went above and beyond when I asked for help.
I can't say enough about these outstanding gentlemen. ..........JD |
