Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Acoustic Guitar
Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Acoustic Guitar
Martin Guitars and legendary British blues rocker Eric Clapton have joined forces to create a stunning signature model that blends classic Martin tone and style with a selection of appointments chosen by Slowhand himself.
A beautiful addition to the Martin Marquis Collection, the Martin 000-28EC is modeled after the guitar that Clapton played during his legendary MTV unplugged performance. Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top, standard "X" bracing, and gorgeous solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000-28EC offers rich, warm voice with incredible tonal balance. With a nice '000' punch and well-balanced tonality, the 000-28EC makes the perfect addition to any flatpicker or acoustic blues player's collection. If you're a fan of the "V" neck, you'll love the neck on this one. The 24.9"-scale select hardwood neck is shaped into Clapton's preferred modified V profile that'll fit your fretting hand beautifully. The smooth-playing ebony 'board houses 20 frets and showcases classic Diamond & Square long pattern inlays and Clapton's signature. The neck also boasts a traditional-style solid diamond square taper headstock featuring a striking solid East Indian rosewood headplate with a Large Old Style Martin logo. The body and neck both come dressed in a smooth polished gloss finish while the top is adorned with vintage toner to add to the 000-28EC's old-school vibe. A set of nickel open-gear tuning machines with butterbean knobs, a solid black ebony bridge, and a bone nut & saddle offer superior performance and tone. Adding to the vintage appeal, the 000-28EC flaunts classic Martin appointments including a fine herringbone top inlay and rosette, grained ivoroid binding, HD Zig-Zag back purfling, a tortoise color pickguard, and black/white boltaron back & endpiece inlays. Comes complete with a Geib-style hardshell case and an interior label with pre-printed signatures from Eric Claption and CFM IV.
