Title: [CLOSED] 1969 Martin 12-string
Post by: edwardofhuncote on September 04, 2022, 11:05:24 AM

Time to free another one from the locker...

Survivor of The Great Folk Scare. I've had this old girl a long time. If I was going to keep it, I'd have my buddy Ward reset the neck and put a new bridge on it. That's about all it needs. The frets were dressed up a few years ago, and it's been played just a few times since. It's playable as-is. As I said, she's 53 years old and needs a neck reset. The bridge has been shaved to keep the action in range.

No cracks or repairs. Mild playing wear. Replaced pickguard is tortoise celluloid. Strung with Elixir extra-lights. I generally detune a full step, and use a capo. I'll include the 12-string capo, the leather strap, the hip little leather hootenanny strap loop too. It's in a newer Martin hardshell case.

$1500, shipped domestically.

Just the thing for those Gordon Lightfoot singalongs.  I wish I needed one, I’d buy this in a flash.

Yep, this one could sure bring the Gordon, Rich. Fine old guitar. I'll miss it.

I'm going to drop it off tomorrow at Fret Mill Music to sell it.

Please go ahead and [CLOSE] the thread.
