This 1967 Martin D12-35 showcases the timeless allure of a classic 12-string dreadnought. Built with a Sitka spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers the lush, shimmering tones that defined the folk boom of the 1960s. The three-piece back, a hallmark of the "35" series, adds visual elegance; and the lighter bracing of the style-35 provides enhanced low end power when strumming through big, open chords. We rate this guitar in "very good" overall condition -- it shows only minor cosmetic wear consistent with five decades of careful use. Our shop has professionally reset the neck and given it a fresh setup. Original components, including the tuners, bridge, and bridge plate, are intact and in fine working condition. Priced with a non-original hardshell case.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
