Gruhn Guitars Small-body Martins

Small-body Martins


Small body, big sound... That's the trend today, but Martin had it down back in the 1930s, as evidenced by this 1931 OM-18 (inv. #AB4283). In exceptionally fine condition, this guitar was formerly owned by Conway Twitty. The internal bridge was plate replaced by Don Teeter in 1975, It comes with a letter dated 1975 from Don Teeter to Conway regarding this guitar. With an early 1970s Martin hard case it is priced at $15,000
