There are currently several Meles on eBay, just do a search. I want one too but have no funding. There is a used one for a good BIN, but the mahogany that Mele Maui has on would have a warranty, and they currently have it discounted. The used one comes with a case. It's from 2003, I don't know when they started using the truss rods, but my own Mele tenor has a slight neck bow and it was made thereabouts.
