That's a low end Martin and that price is in Hollywood.

Looks like a Style 00, nine rosewood ribs. Went for $15 when introduced in 1907 or so. $1K is pretty optimistic.

Yeah, the "buy it now" price is a little ridiculous. Hopefully, his reserve isn't.

"That price is in Hollywood!" I LOVE that phrase, I'm stealing it Mike!

Why not, I stole it 40 some years ago.
