Martin / D12-28 12-String / 1972 / Guitar For Sale

This 1972 D12-28 combines Indian Rosewood back and sides with a solid Sitka spruce top, a combination that produces a rich, balanced tone with powerful bass and bright overtones. The 12-string configuration gives every chord a full, almost orchestral sound through the octave strings, while the dreadnought size provides ample projection. The guitar has seen its fair share of wear and tear and is in good condition, with the replaced Schaller tuners providing improved tuning stability—a welcome upgrade for a 12-string guitar. The soft V-neck profile and ebony fingerboard provide comfortable playability despite the wider nut width required for twelve strings. The Martin D12-28 debuted in 1970 in response to the growing demand for high-quality 12-string guitars during the folk revival of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Martin built on their proven dreadnought design, but modified the construction for the extra tension of twelve strings. The model was quickly embraced by artists looking for the characteristic, shiny, choric sound of a 12-string guitar, but with the quality and playability that Martin was known for. The guitar was built in 1972, and is in good condition. The guitar plays and sounds as you would expect from a vintage Martin, and with its weathered finish it also looks beautifully characterful. It is noticeable that the bridge saddle is low and has a somewhat higher action, which means that a neck reset or compression refret will be necessary in the future. The guitar has already been refretted in the past, and the tuners have been replaced. The guitar comes with a TFOA passport in a hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
