My second (and final) acquisition for 2020... Acclimating in my guitar room after coming off the brown truck, originating in Virginia:

Bigger than a breadbasket. I smell an acoustic.

 

[chazmo]

OH yes. Much.

 

[Nuuska]

Martin ?

 

[chazmo]

Nope... There was a Martin D-12-20 behind the box in the first picture. The new axe (to me) is a brother to my F-512 from Tacoma... Pulling the case out of the box now to complete acclimatization... The case is pristine!

F-412 from Tacoma?

 

[chazmo]

Winner!!! Actually a special run with cocobolo headstock. Can't wait to have a peek!

 

[walrus]

Nice! Looking forward to pics!

Cases do not, usually, impress me all that much but if your 412 is as nice as the case, you might hyperventilate before you get to play it. Nice case!

 

[chazmo]

I'm already hyperventilating, Stu. A couple more hours until opening time.

 

[Coop47]

That sounds like a great additional to an already impressive stable. Can't wait to see it.

 

[geoguy]

Very curious to hear your comparison between the F-412 & F-512 . . . and congrats!

 

[GGJaguar]

A couple more hours until opening time.

Patience. We'll wait with you.

 

[Stuball48]

My clock says it has been two hours and ten minutes - just saying!

 

[chazmo]

It's a beauty. Perfect condition. Magnificent wood all around. Can't wait to spend some time with it!

 

[gjmalcyon]

That is beautiful and I'll bet it sounds even better than it looks. Play it in good health.

 

[chazmo]

Thanks, gj!

 

[twocorgis]

That guitar is just gorgeous Charlie! If I could rationalize having more than one 12er, that would be my next move. It looks like a single truss rod, correct? What year is it?

 

[Stuball48]

That 412 will make you redo your thinking on getting a 12 string.
Make your eyeballs sweat!

 

[GGJaguar]

Congrats and enjoy!! The plain G inlay and block inlays are unique. Now show us a pic of the back of the guitar.
