Well, I had been eyeing a new Martin tenor guitar along with the Fletcher at Elderly Instruments. My wife surprised me with the Fletcher around Valentines Day. The Fletcher was already tuned CGDA from Elderly's and as that's the same tuning as my Blueridge I left it that way. I've thought about restringing it GDAE, but haven't done it yet.
I'm still tempted by the Martin BTW. Either it or one of the older models.
