I believe this to be from 1969 or so. Great condition, would make a fine starter. I have it listed on ebay until Friday the 9th, but how about this: bid there, and I'll knock off 10% when you mention the forum. It'll be on your doorstep when you get home from Dallas!

I listed the steel on ebay, got a few bids and a few questions. Then I got a message from someone who sounded knowledgable (more than me, PSG-wise) saying that this is not an MSA. That explains the unusual logo, and the block in the pedal bar. Well, I'll have to modify or cancel my ebay listing. What I'll likely do is update the description and lower the reserve.

If anyone wants to take a look at the pictures and help I.D. this piece, it'd be appreciated. Go easy on me- I bought it sight unseen from a friend who needed money. He'll make good on it, but we still want to find a good home for a solid, usefull PSG. Thanks for the help. Glad I kept my Starter.

From the pictures I'd say it looks more like a "pull-release" Marlen

I'd say so, too. The hardware (changer and underneath) look a whole lot like a Marlen I had.

Another opinion checks in. I got an ebay response from someone who is sure that this PSG was made by Ed Naylor here in Ohio. Apparently, Mr. Naylor was formerly with Sho-Bud. Still more to learn for me. Thanks everyone!

Marlen or a perfectly accurate Marlen copy.

Please close this thread, Bob. This guitar is gone, to a buyer that may actually pay for it, eventually. A donation was made, and will be "enhanced" when I actually see the bread. And thanks to the guys who helped me identify the thing. Thanks, Chaz
