2025 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton

Following the success of the Limited Edition 000-42EC in 1995, Martin introduced the 000-28 Eric Clapton in 1996. The 000-28EC was Martin's first stock production signature model, and to this day, it remains a hugely popular model in the Martin lineup. Eric has called the 000-28EC "utilitarian" in the very best sense of the word. Loosely based on the 1939 000-42 Eric played in his iconic MTV Unplugged performance, the model starts with a comfortable 000-body and playable 24.9" scale length. With the classic wood complement of Sitka Spruce and East Indian Rosewood, the result is versatile, balanced tone with impressive clarity. Thanks to scalloped bracing under the hood, the top responds quickly, even with a light touch. Its wide dynamic range is natural fit for fingerstyle players, but it also sounds great with a pick. This 2025 Martin 000-28EC is #26891 in the series. It shipped from Nazareth just a few months ago, but the original owner couldn't bond with the neck carve and traded it
