In recognition of Eric Clapton's unparalleled stature in the music industry, Martin introduced the incredible 00028EC in 1996. The award-winning Martin 00028EC Eric Clapton Acoustic Guitar 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.
Vintage Series
Martin's fine Vintage Series instruments draw their inspiration from the elegant vintage designs and appointments of the pre-World War II era. Most Vintage Series models include old-style squared headstock, modified V-shaped neck, period fingerboard inlays, scalloped bracing, beveled tortoise colored pickguard, old-style long or through saddle, aging toner finish on soundboard, vintage style tuning machines and a vintage Geib Style case.

High Performance Playability
The ooo28ec "Eric Clapton" design in my view has the playability, and sound of vintage instruments. The shortened-scale of these 00028 designs is actually the main luthier's intention in making this guitar's playability what it is, i.e. the string tension with less pressure when applying notes to ch...

Martin 00028EC Eric Clapton Acoustic Guitar
The overall intonation, quality and Martin traditional looks and sound of this guitar are wonderful. Of course, with EC giving advice in the making of this beautiful guitar didn't hurt. The signature model name doesn't bother me one bit because its been one of their best sellers for a few decades. T...

Great action and sound
I have been playing guitar for over 40 years and have always loved the sound of Martin guitars. I prefer a "V" shaped neck which is rare these days.

Very comfortable to play
I have owned two now and this model has all the appointments that are added by experience, trail and error by one of the greatest acoustic guitarists to date. Very well balanced tonality, smaller tight narrow body pulls the treble notes out, yet gives you the punch needed so you can dig in when need...
