Hi All,
I bought this new from Gryphon Strings a couple of months ago for $1149. Another impulse buy but I've enjoyed playing it. I was going there to check out the Martin Style 1K Tenor made in Mexico and came home with this one which cost twice as much. I found the American made style 2 to sound much richer and fuller and a lot lighter in weight. It's in beautiful shape...no nicks, scratches, dings, etc...and I think Gryphon does a great job with set-up.
I'm kinda a low tension weenie (soprano guy) so I'll always tune down a step or more. I've got it currently strung with D'Addario J71's (Jake) and tuned down to A#. I've also got the stock Martin fluorocarbons that I'll include. This comes with Martin gig.
Hoping for a quick sell at $900 shipped to CONUS. Let me know if you'd like a sound sample and I can record one with my iPhone and e-mail it to you.
