SOLD
Martin based this model on Eric Clapton’s guitar of choice for his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. Constructed from East Indian rosewood, the visually stunning 000-28EC produces a lovely well-balance tone.
This beautiful pre-owned example is in exceptional condition, having never been taken out of the house or gigged. She has been professionally fitted with a superb under-saddle L.R. Baggs transducer pickup (Original end-pin included in the case) that mirrors the tone wonderfully well! She sleeps in her original plush lined Martin Case with lush green lining. Just a truly gorgeous guitar for the discerning player/collector
In recognition of Eric Clapton’s unparalleled stature in the music industry, Martin introduced this incredible instrument in 1996. Since then, it has become one of their most popular models. The award-winning 000-28EC model draws its inspiration from the famous 000-42EC in body size, shape, and tonewoods. It has the smaller “000” body size that Clapton prefers and that is particularly popular among fingerstyle and blues guitarists who like a clear and balanced sound together with the string flexibility that the shorter 24.9 inch scale length allows. Its top is solid Spruce with a vintage toner finish; the 2-piece back and sides are solid East Indian Rosewood with a gloss finish. Includes hardshell case.
The Martin 000-28EC is one of the favourite acoustic guitars of Eric Clapton, and the basis for his own signature model he thinks so highly of it. That’s praise indeed but the Martin 000-28 almost doesn’t even need the endorsement such is its natural fame amongst guitarists.
Featuring a Solid Sitka Spruce top combined with solid Rosewood back and sides this sounds great. That combination of tonewoods gives you a tone that wonderfully rounded and warm with enough spring and brightness from the spruce to give you all the definition you could want.
Solid Construction – Smooth Tones
The Solid Sitka Spruce Top and Indian Rosewood back and sides give the 000-28 a rich and complex tone that is sweet and delicate when played quietly but with enough dynamic headroom to move a serious amount of air when given some energy. That means the Martin 000-28 affords you some of the most incredible acoustic guitar tones you are likely to ever hear. Nothing is spared in making this guitar an awesome example of one of the finest art forms in the music instrument business today: solid mahogany blocks, Boltaron binding and decorations, solid black ebony fingerboard, real bone nut.
Only one word can really describe the Martin 000-28: Legendary.
Classic styling with a tight-waisted Auditorium body shape, the 000-28EC has solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a Sitka spruce top, polished gloss finish and a hand-fit dovetail neck joint. This model produces a rich and full-bodied tone, making it the ideal guitar for the intermediate and advanced player.
