Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature Acoustic, Second-Hand Overview by GAK.
The Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton signature was destined to be an instant success after the popularity of the famous MTV's Unplugged session where Clapton used the guitar that inspired this iconic model. Based upon the 000-42EC this utilitarian version was designed to have the same features such as the 000 auditorium body shape, premium grade Sitka Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood back and sides and an Ebony Fretboard and Bridge. Needless to say this model has become one of the biggest selling in the Martin lineup especially with Clapton endorsing this as being the best sounding acoustic ever.
"Don't get me wrong. I love my 000-42EC Martins. The craftsmanship and detail are superb. But this new 000-28EC model is the best sounding acoustic guitar I've EVER played." - Eric Clapton
Great condition with original Martin hard case Serial Number 20996.
