Martin D12-28 12-String Dreadnought Guitar  

Purchased this guitar from MF and received it a week ago.  Fantastic guitar!  Bought an HD-28 from MF about 10 years ago that sounds as good and looks even better than the day I bought it.  I look forward to watching this D12-28 'mature' over the next few years.  Action is nice and low, lower than my HD-28.  The neck and fingerboard are very comfortable.  The sounds that resonate from this instrument are just as expected from a high-end Martin.  I had no reservations about purchasing this guitar without having played it.  If you're in the market for a 12-string, and are a fan of Martin guitars, this one surely won't disappoint.

I received my D12-28 for my birthday 2 years ago and I could not be happier with it. It has the most amazingly full sound of any 12-string I've ever played. This thing just sings. I bought my first Martin - a D-25K - back in 1982 and have been a Martin guy ever since. I do a lot of finger style playing and the D12-28 has the perfect spacing between the string pairs to allow very accurate picking. If you're looking for a quality 12-string, you need to try out this guitar.

Purchased my D12-28 about 6 months ago. I have no regrets. I like the shorted scale length it does make fingering a little easier. I did find the bass to be a little muddy due to the strings. I replaced them with a Martin FX 12 string set, so the bass response is much better.

I received my Martin 12-28 yesterday, I have owned several other brands, including a couple that are famous for their 12 string guitars,  but none of them seemed to have the right tone for me. I am a Martin man to the core.  I was so excited about it I was waiting at the door when the UPS man arrived. I took it out of the box tuned in up and began playing, all I can say is fantastic. I was exactly as I expected. I did notice however that the plain steel strings appeared to have some rust on them, but that did not effect the tone, it was no big deal, because I always change the strings or have them changed on any guitar I first acquire, whether used or new.
