An exceptional example of a late-'70s Martin D12-18, offering everything you'd expect from a vintage Martin 12-string. Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania in 1979, this dreadnought combines a solid spruce top with mahogany back and sides for that classic Martin balance of warmth, clarity and projection.
There's something special about a well-played vintage 12-string, and this one has matured beautifully over the years. It delivers that rich, shimmering chorus effect that only a good 12-string can produce, whether you're strumming open chords or fingerpicking intricate passages.
A fantastic vintage Martin that's becoming increasingly difficult to find in this sort of condition.

Superb condition for its age. The guitar presents exceptionally well and has clearly been cherished throughout its life. There are only minor signs of use consistent with a well-cared-for vintage instrument, with no significant damage evident. The neck, body and finish all remain in excellent order, while the frets show only light wear. A remarkably clean example of a nearly 50-year-old Martin.
