Description
Description
This second hand acoustic guitar is in great condition,.
Includes original Martin soft case.
The Martin Road Series D12E is an excellent offering for those seeking Martin’s acoustic-electric tone and craftsmanship. It hits a sweet spot of reliability, usable amplified tone, and solid acoustic presence.
What Works Really Well
-
Balanced acoustic tone & projection
Unplugged, the D-12E offers the classic dreadnought voice: strong bass and mids, clear trebles, and enough volume to stand up in ensembles. The spruce top and sapele back/sides give it warmth and a punch without being overly boomy. -
Solid build / premium appointments for the price
For a guitar in its price class, the Road Series D-12E offers good craftsmanship. The gloss top, careful finishing, binding, the rosette and purfling details, and the neck carve are all of high standard. You feel you’re getting proper Martin quality, not just a budget model pretending to be one. -
Plugged-in use / live readiness
The Fishman MX-T system (including the soundhole tuner) makes this guitar stage- and studio-ready. Players report that the amplified tone is very faithful, with good clarity and minimal undesirable artifacts. The built-in tuner is a nice luxury. -
Comfortable playability
The “Performing Artist” profile neck with high-performance taper is described as smooth and comfortable. Nut width (around 1 3/4") is fairly standard, making it accessible for many players.
How It Performs
-
Practice / home use: Excellent. It has good acoustic projection even at low volume; it responds well to fingerstyle or mixed playing; it’s enjoyable to play just unplugged.
-
Recording / studio: Very good. The Fishman MX-T system gives reliable acoustic-electric tone; you’ll get good clarity and minimal coloration. Probably you’ll get better results mic’d in addition, but the D-12E holds up if you need to plug in.
-
Live gigs: Solid. The built-in tuner is a plus. If the venue is modest size, the dreadnought voice will cut through; in larger or louder situations, you might benefit from good PA support or miking. The electronics are stable and suited for performance.
-
Genre versatility: Quite versatile. Strumming works well, as does flatpicking. The tone leans balanced with warmth and clarity.
Who It’s Best For
-
Gigging acoustic guitarists who need a reliable electro-acoustic for live work
-
Players who want a Martin dreadnought experience but don’t have budget for the high-end models
-
People who want a versatile guitar both for strumming and fingerpicking
-
Those who value visual appointments, solid top, and good electronics
