Martin 000-28EC (2009) – Eric Clapton Signature Model with LR Baggs Element Active Pickup
This Martin 000-28EC (2009), also known as the 00028EC or 000 28EC, is part of the Eric Clapton signature series and delivers the timeless tone and playability that has made it one of Martin’s most sought-after Orchestra Model guitars.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, this 000-sized guitar projects with warmth, balance, and clarity. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance, making it equally suited for fingerstyle and light strumming.
The modified V-shaped neck with an ebony fingerboard provides the authentic Clapton feel, while the 1 3/4” nut width ensures comfort and versatility. Vintage-style appointments, including herringbone trim, zig-zag backstrip, and diamond & squares fingerboard inlays, complete the classic look.
This 2009 model is equipped with an LR Baggs Element Active System pickup, making it performance-ready with natural acoustic amplification. It is in very good condition with only minimal signs of use, plays effortlessly with low action, and has no structural issues. Comes with the original Martin hardcase.
