The 1970 Martin D-12-20 is a 12-string dreadnought built with a solid mahogany back and sides, a solid spruce top, and a 12-fret neck joint, giving it a warm, balanced tone with rich overtones and excellent projection. Part of Martin's 20-series, it features a slotted headstock, rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and a slightly wider nut width for comfortable fingerstyle play. This model offers the classic Martin 12-string sound—lush, resonant, and ideal for folk and blues. It has undergone several thoughtful repairs, ensuring its playability for years to come. Check out the Specs tab for the full repair history. Includes a gig bag. 

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
