Condition
Very Good. Guitar appears to be all original with the exception of a missing heel cap, which we will replace. Finish checking on top. Pickguard appears to have shrunk slightly. Several minor surface cracks on back that are not through the wood but are visible. Structurally great with great action and plenty of saddle for future adjustment.

This wonderful Martin D12-35 is from 1966–the second year that Martin produced 12-strings. This instrument is all original with the exception of the heel cap. Thanks to the stunning Brazilian back and sides and Sitka Spruce top, the tone of this well-kept guitar is phenomenal. It’s becoming more difficult to find these in original condition, but this guitar is evidence of what Martin craftsmanship is all about.

This is a great strummer, the short 24 3/4" scale makes it a joy to play 12 strings. The 12 fret neck adds sweetness and makes the left hand reach a joy.
