'Round these parts everyone who wants a Martin but can't afford one buys Blue Ridge geetars... I donno... I'm not over impressed with 'um... I had a nice little parlor geetar that I bought for $25 in a pawn shop... It was a "Syaria" and played and sounded like a dream... Leant it to my son who put it in a closet where his mother's roof leaked... Got back a completely ruined instrument...

Sniff...
