Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton (Pre-owned) 2003

C.F. Martin & Co. 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature (2003) – Professionally Repaired Crack – Beautiful Condition

This Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature from 2003 — also searched as Martin 00028EC, Martin 000 28 EC, Eric Clapton Martin, used Martin 000-28EC, or Martin Clapton acoustic — is one of Martin’s most successful signature models, combining vintage-inspired Style 28 appointments with the comfortable short-scale 000 body.

Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000-28EC produces a warm, rich and beautifully balanced voice with complex overtones, clear trebles and a controlled bass response. Its smaller 000 body and 24.9” short scale make it especially responsive and comfortable for fingerstyle, blues, acoustic lead playing and lighter strumming.

The model features scalloped X-bracing, helping the top respond easily to a light touch while providing excellent resonance and dynamic range. The traditional Modified V neck profile and 1 3/4” (44.5 mm) nut width give the guitar the distinctive vintage-inspired feel associated with the Eric Clapton model.

Classic appointments include an ebony fingerboard and bridge, herringbone top trim, vintage-style toner, grained ivoroid binding and the understated elegance that has made the 000-28EC a long-running favorite among Martin players.

This 2003 Martin 000-28EC has had one crack professionally repaired. The repair has been properly addressed, and apart from this, the guitar presents beautifully with an attractive overall appearance for its age.

A wonderful early-2000s example of the Eric Clapton signature model, offering the comfortable playability and rich rosewood tone that have made the 000-28EC such an enduring Martin classic.
