Location: ms | Long story short I got it to help out a friend and don`t need it since I have a 0001. Hate to say it but it sounds and plays about as good as my 0001. I can`t do pics right now but the guitar looks like its never been played, not a mark or ding anywhere. Comes with hard gig bag. Got anything to trade? |

I put a K & K pure western mini in mine. Plugged in it also has a great sound.
Trader Jim, You need to think about this one. :D |

On a serious note, I have played Mikes, and it is a fantastic bargain in it's price range. Has the Martin sound at 1/3 the price. |

Dave got it. He is a little faster than me this morning. I guess I'm still on Las Vegas time. But so is Dave. :confused:

"Hey my martin started to split below the saddle, which is starting to pull up"
It could be he's not taking proper care as well. He's in AZ. Pretty dry there. |

Location: ms | Put new strings on it this morning, they had never been changed. Sounds a lot better and it already sounded good. The top seems to be holding up fine and is not a bad piece of spruce for a guitar in this price range. Jim, do you need this guitar??? |

Location: Gardnerville, NV | Once we figure a mutually convenient way to get funds across the country I'm going to compare it to the 1112-1 that I currently use as my camping instrument. Since I'm on a pretty strict one in one out program one of these will be available in a couple of weeks. |

Location: Gardnerville, NV | Thank you gulfcoast!
Great packing job, the guitar arrived safely and is exactly as you described. I wish I hadn't spent the last several days reading all of the cautions on shipping and acclimating guitars. It's testing my patience, but just snuck a quick peek as it was in the low teens last night so I guess I will wait till I get home to tune it up.
Just wanted to add, Ronnie was a great guy to do the deal with, very friendly and went out of his way to get it to me quickly and safely. Great surprise to get it so soon, thanks again. |

Location: ms | mhaanpaa, Thanks for the kind words. I learned to pack from Tupperware. I hate to sound like a Southern Baptist but it does my heart good when someone gets a new or used guitar, have fun. |

I've been using D'Addario Custom Lights, EJ26 on mine. (.011-.052) And I tune down to D. Really a good sound for an inexpensive Martin. |
