Hallo - I've recently started playing my ’35 Martin 5-17t again and I'm finding the string gauge annoyingly narrow. I use a 13 (gauge of the high e) on my dread and a 12 on both my 00 and size 2…Continue

I've bought 2 of my guitars from Wolfe - my 2009 Performer and my 2010 Godin 5th Avenue.  Both very well set-up when I got them.  Jay Wolfe and Graham Zebedee are good people - I wouldn't hesitate to buy long-distance from them, if anyone is interested...

Wow, that does indeed sound like an excellent price! I would have been impressed at double that. Is it new or near new? Looks pretty current design-wise.

Comment by Steve Frank on April 27, 2013 at 9:45am

Considering many charge above $1,000 for the addition of the armrest alone, that seems like a steal. A good deal is a good deal no matter the price. You can pay $30,000 for a 1938 D-45 and steal it, or pay $50 bucks for some toy guitar and get robbed.

Their site is showing $3750.

Not bad at all.

Comment by Mike Nepper on April 27, 2013 at 9:19am

Sorry, thought it was yours! I understand we are looking at something probably above $10K, no?

If I had his money I could do something about the hair.

"my last name is not Trump...alas..."

It wouldn't be worth it if it came with the hair cut.

Comment by FloridaGull on April 27, 2013 at 7:46am

I'm only lucky if you consider that I can go to Wolfe and see it...I do not own this guitar...my last name is not Trump...alas... ;-)

Absolutely beautiful! Love the "beveled" edge and sides combination and how each wood compliments the other.
