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. |

Location: Gardnerville, NV | I haven't had as much time to play with it as I'd like but am really impressed. 2 questions, do you know how long ago you're friend got it. Also what strings did you put on it? |

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. |
