Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton 2020 (Pre-owned)

C.F. Martin & Co. 000-28EC Eric Clapton (2020) – Rosewood Auditorium – Very Good Condition

The Martin 000-28EC is Martin's longest-running signature model, introduced in 1996 as a tribute to the pre-war Martin Eric Clapton played on his legendary MTV Unplugged performance. This 2020 Martin 00028EC delivers the classic Clapton look and sound that made the model one of the most popular 000 guitars ever built.

The 000-28EC has a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides. Scalloped X-bracing gives a lively, responsive top with impressive volume and sustain for a 000-size guitar. The tone is rich and balanced, with full bass, warm and complex mids and clear, shimmering trebles, plus excellent note separation.

The comfortable 000 body makes the Martin 000 28EC perfect for fingerstyle, blues, folk and singer-songwriter playing, while it still has the power for confident strumming. Its detailed, balanced voice records beautifully and sits naturally with vocals.

The mahogany neck has Clapton's preferred modified V profile, with a 24.9" short scale and 1 3/4" nut, giving a comfortable, vintage-inspired feel.

Vintage-style appointments include:

• herringbone top trim and a fine herringbone rosette
• grained ivoroid binding
• long-pattern diamonds and squares inlays on an ebony fingerboard
• Eric Clapton's signature inlaid at the 20th fret
• an ebony belly bridge with bone pins with paua dots
• a bone nut and saddle
• nickel open-gear tuners with butterbean knobs
• a tortoise pickguard
• a polished gloss finish

This used Martin 000-28EC is in very good condition, with only light signs of use, and comes with a hardshell case. It's a great opportunity to own one of the most sought-after Eric Clapton signature Martin guitars.
