A lovely Martin 12 string dating to 1970! The Martin D12 series had existed some decades prior to this example, with guitars falling into different echelons based on appointments - this 20 example, having the most simple appointments, including binding and dot inlay atop. Constructed with a standard spruce top, X bracing (with an oversized rosewood bridge plate), and warm mahogany back & sides. A nice example overall, this has seen minimal play wear - light pick scratches and minimal dings and finish checking near the waist. Sonically this guitar is very nice - with a warm bass response. It could be a great counter part for any serious player looking to get a vintage 12 string in their arsenal that won't break the bank. The neck is pretty straight with a little bit of forward relief present, ultimately pretty non-problematically. The action that measures 8/64" in height at the twelfth fret of the sixth string, about 7/64" on the first with about 4/64" of the saddle visible above the slot. The frets are in great shape, again having only been used sparingly. Original plate tuners are present and function just as they should. Includes original hardshell case.
