The Martin D12-28 is a premium 12-string acoustic guitar that builds upon the legendary Martin D-28 dreadnought platform. First introduced in 1970, it translates the power, deep bass, and clear overtones of a classic rosewood/spruce dreadnought into a lush, layered 12-string format.
The pairing of rosewood and spruce provides a wide dynamic range, projecting a booming low end alongside the distinctive chime and chorus-like shimmer of octaves. Unlike early 12-string models that coupled the body at the 12th fret, the D12-28's 14-fret neck joint allows player-friendly upper fret access. Because of its substantial dreadnought footprint, it generates massive volume, making it highly favored by folk musicians and singer-songwriters.
