I am offering for sale a 2004 Martin 000-28EC, the Eric Clapton signature model – an instrument that has firmly secured its place in the history of acoustic guitars as one of the most musical and distinctive models in Martin’s lineup.

This model was created as a tribute to 1930s guitars and Clapton’s instrument from the MTV Unplugged concert, preserving classic construction features and vintage aesthetics while maintaining modern stability and playing comfort.

The presented example stands out with a mature, open tone and exceptional responsiveness, allowing the guitar to naturally “work” under your hands and effortlessly reflect subtle articulation nuances.

The instrument is in very good condition. The top shows only 2–3 minor cosmetic signs of use. Structurally, the guitar remains fully original and sound – with no cracks, repairs, or luthier modifications. It is an instrument that requires no additional investment.

The guitar is equipped with a Fishman Thinline piezo pickup – a discreet and proven system that allows for convenient amplification while preserving the instrument’s natural character.

Tone characteristics:
This example offers a rich, deep, and highly cohesive sound, with a well-defined midrange and natural compression under stronger attack. The rosewood provides harmonic complexity and depth, while the shorter scale contributes to exceptional playing comfort and dynamic control. The instrument particularly excels in fingerstyle playing and more subtle forms of articulation.

This is an excellent choice for players seeking a vintage-character instrument that is fully functional and ready for professional use.

Feel free to get in touch or try the instrument in person.
I’ll be happy to provide any additional information if needed.
