3397 1976     0446 Martin, Theodore L 1480 Belle Ave Lakewood OH Full frets, 4 tuners  2/19/2007 I purchased #3397 off ebay sometime in the last two years, probably in 2006.  It was before Homer's death.  The four string instrument arrived with the paired strings being the middle ones.  The nut is cut to pair either the melody or the middle, but the wear on the saddle indicates, the pairing was always the middle. It has fine tuners which is what drew my interest. I don't remember the exact price I paid but feel in was in the mid $500. Please feel free to contact me if you want additional information.

Many thanks to the people who put up this most informative website.
