Thanks all - I went with my gut, and offered him a price that should leave me a little room for the fretwork ( replace first 5 probably )and set-up that I think it needs, and he somewhat begrudgingly accepted it. Once the cash was in his hand, I think he felt pretty good about it.

I have to clean it all up, replace the 5 year old strings, and I'll get some pics up for those interested.

I took my SC 000 with me so I could do a comparison with a guitar I've been playing alot recently, and the Martin tone really impressed me - won't say it blew the Santa Cruz away, but it sure does sound good - very balanced, but a strong bass -

Thanks all for the info - I think this is gonna be fun! And wow, I bought my first Martin!
