Description

This 1968 Martin D-12-35 is a well-worn, well-loved 12-string with tons of vintage character and a truly rewarding voice. The top shows heavy finish checking and multiple crack repairs, but everything is stable and structurally sound, reflecting years of honest use rather than neglect. In return, you get fantastic tone for a twelve-string: a big, supportive low end with clear, focused midrange that keeps chords articulate and chiming rather than muddy. Despite its age and wear, it plays great and responds easily under the fingers—a seasoned vintage 12-string that absolutely earns its scars. Comes with the OHSC.

*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.
