This 1931 Martin C-3 has been converted from its original archtop configuration to an OM-style flat-top guitar, giving an unusual early Martin a completely different voice and playing format. Its history includes a previous neck set, filled and re-drilled bridge pin holes, and repairs to cracks in the back. The Natural finish and compact OM-style body give it a clean, understated appearance, while the early-’30s Martin construction makes for an interesting foundation for the conversion. It remains in very good condition and is a particularly unique combination of prewar Martin history and later modification. Includes vintage hard shell case.
