The D-12 is a decent, inexpensive, Korean made acoustic. It's nothing special - I think they originally sold for around $300-$350 in the USA. If it's a D-12S it's a bit better as the "S" indicates a solid spruce top.

You could easily make a new bone saddle ("bridge nut") for it as all you need is a blank and some sandpaper, but making a new nut requires tools and expertise.

I don't think I'd bother paying for a new nut and a refret for it when I could just simply replace it with something like a Yamaha FG730S for under $300.
