I recently acquired this guitar. it is a Marrs Cat-can, dobro shaped steel .
It has been modified . the formica is not original. I am certain.The whole guitar has nearly been formica covered. The cover plate may not be original.
I have contacted a few people I believe to be associated with this guitar but I have got no response. I do believe it belonged to Nashville musician Chas Williams at one point and that he and Joe Glaser may have done the modifications. I have tried contacting Chas and Joe but have yet to receive any reply.
I also contacted Jeff Surrat who was very nice, but couldn't tell me about the instrument.
I like the guitar. I intend to keep it and play it. I am just very curious about it. Has any one see a Marrs, cat-can , that is dobro-shaped, other than this one?
I'd like to be able to put a value on it( if thats even possible.) and know its age. and anything else of interest.
Thank you!

I think there was one on here for sale, a few days ago. Look through the "for sale" items. I may be wrong, however.

I know nothing about it, but I just have to say, that after guitar #9,999,999, they are going to regret having so few leading zeros in their serial #.  |

| Bill, I did buy it on here on the Forum a few weeks ago. The previous owner said it had been his father's and had come down to him. His father had a music store and had maybe took it on a trade. He did not have any additional information. |
