This 1972 Martin D-12-28 falls into the Good to Fair cosmetic condition rang. Solid, well-loved player's instrument:
• Upper Bout Finish Wear. There is significant lacquer wear and bare wood exposed on the treble side of the fretboard near the upper bout, typical of heavy strumming or picking over fifty years.
• Bridge Area & Potential Reglue. A distinct light-colored mark or finish disturbance appears directly behind the bottom edge of the ebony bridge indicating a possible bridge re-glue in the past.
• Top Dings and Finish Checking. The top shows honest playwear, including small dings on the lower bass bout, surface scratches, and natural age-related lacquer checking.
Construction & Tonewoods-
Built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, this dreadnought 12-string -solid Sitka spruce top with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard and bridge.
• Early 1970s models feature a non-adjustable square-tube steel truss rod, a 14-fret neck joint and a wide 1-7/8" (1.880") nut width designed to accommodate 12 strings comfortably.
• Bracing. Non-scalloped X-bracing, which was standard for Martin dreadnoughts in the 1970s to provide extra structural stability
