Item Description

Martin D12-18 (no261102)

This guitar boasts the light, warm, and vibrant tone characteristic of 1970s D-18 models.
The D-12-18 is a model that began production in 1973 and features a 14-fret joint dreadnought style. The D-12-20, also a mahogany model, has a 12-fret joint and a larger volume, resulting in a rich and deep tone. In contrast, the D-12-18, with its 14-fret joint dreadnought body, has a lighter and more articulate sound.
This particular guitar was made in 1973, the first year of the model's production. It has a dignified look with a deep, amber-colored patina.

The top is spruce, the sides and back are mahogany, and the fingerboard and bridge are rosewood.
The tuners are the original 6-in-line Grover square-shielded back tuners and are in perfect working order.
The pickguard has been replaced, and no Martin cracks are visible.
The nut and frets are original, and adjustments, neck angle reset, and saddle replacement have been completed.
There is some age-appropriate discoloration, giving it a subdued color. There are slight weather checkings and minor surface scratches, but it is in very good condition for an instrument of this age.
A strap pin is installed in the neck heel cap.
The end pin is jack-sized, and a conversion pin is currently installed.

The nut width is approximately 47.0mm, and it is a regular grip neck.
The neck has been adjusted and is set straight.
The string height at the 12th fret is approximately 2.2mm for the 6th string and approximately 1.3mm for the 1st string, making it a comfortable setup to play.
It has good balance even in the high positions, giving the impression of being easy to play.
The saddle has sufficient height, making it easy to set even lower.
It has good tension and a well-sounding setup.

It produces a bright and beautifully articulate 12-string sound, characterized by a brilliant and clear tone.
It's a great-sounding instrument with a light, warm, resonant tone typical of mahogany, and a rich, lustrous sound with abundant harmonics.
The bass is somewhat subdued and light, but it has a bright resonance, making it a pleasant sound to play.
It has moderate tension and produces a powerful 12-string sound.

A general-purpose Canadian-made hardshell case is included.
12-string guitars from this era are rare, and the D-12-18 in particular is a valuable instrument that is rarely seen.
