The Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature is a beautifully crafted acoustic guitar that combines Martin’s legendary build quality with the timeless style and musical influence of one of the world’s most celebrated guitarists. Featuring the comfortable 000-14-fret body shape, this signature model offers an exceptional balance of warmth, clarity, and responsiveness, making it an excellent choice for fingerstyle playing, blues, and expressive acoustic performances. Its solid Sitka spruce top is paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides, delivering a rich, balanced voice with sparkling trebles, warm bass response, and impressive tonal depth. Scalloped X-bracing further enhances the guitar’s resonance and dynamic sensitivity.

Classic appointments and premium tonewoods give the 000-28EC its unmistakable elegance. The spruce top features a vintage toner finish, fine herringbone inlay, and a multi-stripe rosette, while the rosewood back showcases traditional zig-zag striping. Grained ivoroid binding, a faux tortoise pickguard, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge complete the sophisticated aesthetic. The fingerboard is adorned with an intricate diamonds-and-squares long pattern, highlighted by abalone and Awabi inlays featuring Eric Clapton’s signature. An East Indian rosewood headplate with Martin’s traditional script logo adds another refined touch.

The genuine mahogany neck features Martin’s distinctive Modified V profile, providing a substantial, comfortable feel inspired by traditional designs. With a 24.9-inch scale length and a 1 3/4-inch nut width, the guitar offers a spacious playing surface well suited to intricate fingerstyle arrangements, expressive blues phrasing, and complex chord voicings. A bone nut, compensated bone saddle, and Plek-processed fretwork contribute to a refined playing experience, while nickel open-gear tuning machines with butterbean knobs complete the vintage-inspired appointments.

Combining exceptional tonal versatility, elegant detailing, and the heritage of Martin’s renowned 28 Series, the 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature is an outstanding instrument for players who appreciate nuanced expression and traditional acoustic craftsmanship. From intimate fingerpicked passages to rich, full-bodied strumming, this guitar delivers the character and responsiveness to inspire years of musical enjoyment. Weighing just 4 lbs. 4 oz., it comes complete with a ply hardshell case for protection and convenient transport.
