~1932 Martin C-1 Archtop Acoustic Natural
Vintage original 1930s Martin C-1.
Guitar plays and sounds fantastic. Beautiful original Spruce top is particularly nice.
Neck is straight and it plays great all the way up and down without buzz or issue. Neck angle and playability is superb.
Says Martin C-1 and has the Martin stamp inside the guitar, but we cannot seem to find the serial number to date it exactly, so we dated the guitar based on the features.
It looks like someone cut a circle hole where the sound hole on an acoustic should be then filled it back in with the original wood from which they cut it out with. Hence the nice price on this example.
Original bridge and tailpiece. The guitar appears to be all original with the exception of the cut out and filled in hole on the top. Makes this one affordable.
Comes with a chipboard case.
