1933 Martin C1/000-18 Conversion - Shadetop

1933 Martin C1/000-18 Conversion - ShadetopThis started life as a 1933 Martin C 1 Archtop. These have the exact same dimensions, bracing and woods as a 000 18 (except for the top). So Joel Whitehead converted it to a 000 18 by adding the top and bridge and finishing it in a really cool aged shadetop. During the conversion process he also repaired 1 back crack and did a neck reset and refret. So this guitar is ready to go. Huge neck. It plays and sounds great. The back, sides, and neck all

It is currently setup with a reissue ABR on the original wooden base and the original saddle is included

The electrolytic capacitors have been replaced

The sweet switch was replaced with some sort of push/pull

The original bridge plate looks to have a support added to it for reinforcement

This amp was 100% original when I acquired it so I sent it for professional service

This one is 100% original except for the vintage mustang bridge (they're way better than stock anyway)

I recently had it professionally serviced which included a few replacement tubes
