Hello there,
yes I agree a nice set of strings will really make this guitar sound great, Initially it was installed phosphor bronze d'addario strings, I just changed to SP MS3100, the bass sounds a little more refined than with the d'addario.
You probably did get it not too long after I did a trade in, did you get the case as well? I really didn't play it much because I got an OM-28 (well that guitar is gone too, I really play more electric ended up getting made to measure les paul but i'm trying to sell).
I purchased that sigma in Canada, some town in Ontario forgot the name of the shop. Last week I got the kindred from a place in PA, and a nice case on amazon warehouse deals too, came in the same day so i was happy....it fits my needs to playing acoustic. It came in with a nice setup from those guys but in the near future i'll bring it to the American guitar museum...

I must have stopped into GC right after you because I had to wait the full 14-day waiting time. To me, it has more Martin tone than any other Martin copy. It looked like you never played it. Not even a fingerprint on it. Original strings? Plastic still on the pick-guard.
It's a wonderful guitar. Where did you get it? How did it end up on Long Island?
