Martin J12-16GT – 2005 £800 Hull

[probonopublico]

12 String 16 series Martin guitar for sale.  It was made in 2005 and I bought it in 2015 from Fellowship of Acoustics in the Netherlands.  It’s a lovely guitar in both sound and to play.  There are a few references to the guitar on the web people say how nice it is to play and I can confirm this. In the 10 years I have had it it’s been gigged twice and taken to less than half a dozen rehearsals.

 

It developed a crack in the lower side of body of about 25mm quite early on.  It did not increase in size as it was next to the cross bracing.  I have had this repaired by a professional luthier a few months ago (details are available) and I have pictured this repair.  He also set the guitar up and fitted Martin strings. There is also a ding on the bottom of the guitar.

 

Six years ago I had an LR BAGGS Element VTC Micro Piezo fitted by a local guitar shop.  It is an under saddle/preamp jack with volume and tone controls.  It comes with the OHSC which is very clean.
