Hi all,

I have a nice EIR back with no sides. Any recommendations for a source for orphaned sides? I'd love to use it if I can find a reasonable match.

Thanks!
Jordan

Take a couple good pics of the back and post it here.

There is a guy that sells Martin seconds, a few folks here have bought from him I believe. He’s actually my neighbor, so I could visit him and see if there is a match.

I think I’ve gotten just sides from LMI before. Cracking during bending isn’t unusual.

Sets similar to this normally sell for 30 - 40 dollars with free shipping from this seller. I've bought several things from them and they are good.
