Have it converted! Blazer and Henke are great German luthiers. Ask them for advice:

Only one I ever played was a conversion. It was special.

Only reason I was still thinking about converting it is because it's such a great collectible with a custom made case and some setlists, drawings and other personal stuff of its previous owner John Pearse ... I just guess it might be worth much more than I paid for, then again I don't think anyone here wants to buy an 0-18KH for more than 3K because nobody plays these guitars anymore. Could keep it in the locker and wait til the price rises but I'm not that rich so I guess I'll have to send it back Like 'frankmcr' said it's the model with the flat and thick marker frets which is almost impossible to convert.

FYI, all these Hawaiian Martins had bar frets, even after other models switched to tee frets in mid-1934. |

I can't express how I really feel about the way people vandalize these fantastic and irreplaceable Hawaiian style guitars without getting kicked off the AGF, by the way.

Nobody plays hawaiian anymore... it's like buying a nice Lute. It's nice but hardly anyone can play it Anyone's got an idea what these 0-18KHs are worth? Are they really cheaper than the spanish ones or is it just hard to tell because there are almost none on the internet these days?
