The Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature is a beautifully crafted acoustic guitar that combines timeless Martin craftsmanship with the distinctive style and playing preferences of one of music’s most celebrated guitarists. Built around the comfortable 000-14-fret body shape, this signature model delivers an exceptional balance of warmth, clarity, and responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle playing, blues, and expressive acoustic performances. Its Sitka spruce top is paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, producing a rich, balanced voice with sparkling trebles, warm bass response, and impressive tonal depth.
Traditional appointments and premium tonewoods give the 000-28EC its unmistakable elegance. The spruce top features a vintage toner finish, fine herringbone top inlay, and a multi-stripe rosette, while the rosewood back showcases classic zig-zag striping. Grained ivoroid binding, a faux tortoise pickguard, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the sophisticated aesthetic. The fingerboard features an elaborate diamonds-and-squares long pattern with abalone inlays and Eric Clapton’s signature, creating a distinctive visual detail that sets this instrument apart.
The genuine mahogany neck features Martin’s Modified V profile, offering a substantial, comfortable feel inspired by traditional designs. A 24.9-inch scale length and 1 3/4-inch nut width provide a spacious playing surface that works especially well for fingerstyle techniques and intricate chord voicings. The bone nut and compensated bone saddle contribute to excellent resonance and intonation, while the Plek-processed fretwork helps deliver a refined playing experience. Nickel open-gear tuning machines with butterbean knobs complete the vintage-inspired appointments.
Combining exceptional tone, classic styling, and the heritage of the Martin 28 Series, the 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature is a remarkable instrument for players who appreciate nuanced expression and outstanding acoustic craftsmanship. Whether performing intimate blues arrangements, intricate fingerstyle passages, or full-bodied strumming, this signature model offers the versatility and character to inspire years of musical enjoyment. It comes complete with a ply hardshell case for reliable protection and convenient transport.
