{"product_id":"43802","title":"1975 Martin D-12-28 12-String Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe Martin D-12-28 is an American-made 12-string dreadnought acoustic guitar featuring a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Indian rosewood back and sides, and traditional Martin construction. Built in 1975, this example dates from a period of particularly high production at Martin, when the company's steel-string dreadnoughts were enjoying widespread popularity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of spruce and rosewood produces a full, resonant sound with a pronounced low end, clear treble response and the rich harmonic complexity characteristic of a 12-string acoustic. The dreadnought body provides substantial acoustic volume and projection, while the standard non-scalloped X-bracing contributes to a focused, controlled response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck features a substantial soft-V profile, paired with an unbound ebony fingerboard and 14-fret neck joint. A short 24.9\" scale length provides a slightly more relaxed string tension than longer-scale 12-string designs, while the ebony bridge and Grover USA tuners complete the traditional appointments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e C.F.
