This 1969 Martin D-12-20 is a very fine-sounding, easy playing 12-string with the woody shimmer that makes us think of the first bars of Neil Young's "Thrasher" instantly. If you've been after a vintage 12-string to add texture and sparkle to your stable, look no further! We acquired this guitar from the estate of a client, and it's just been freshly setup in our shop. The overall condition is excellent for a 55-year old guitar. There are no cracks or unsightly blemishes, only the scattered minor signs of playwear you'd associate with regular use. Priced with hardshell case.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
