Here's an original and very clean 1997 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton acoustic.
This is a very early example, second year of issue. Label inside states it is number 990 in the series of these guitars made that year.
An iconic signature acoustic guitar meticulously designed in tribute to the instrument Eric Clapton played during his legendary 1992 MTV Unplugged performance.
Combining a comfortable "000" auditorium body with premium rosewood construction, it is celebrated for its warm, beautifully balanced tone and exceptional fingerstyle playability.
Key Specifications & BuildBody Style: 000-14 Fret Orchestra Model (OM) for an intimate, comfortable, yet resonant shape.Top Material: Solid quartersawn Sitka spruce. Often features Martin's aging toner for a vintage, amber look.Back & Sides: Solid East Indian rosewood, providing rich depth, warmth, and complex overtones.Bracing: Scalloped X-brace pattern.Neck: Genuine mahogany, carved into a specific "Modified V" profile favored by Clapton himself.Scale Length: 24.9" (shorter scale), which drastically lowers string tension for easier chording and expressive string bends.Nut Width: 1.75" (1 ¾") with wider string spacing at the bridge, making it highly forgiving for finger-picking and complex chord transitions.
Fingerboard & Bridge: Solid black ebony.Appointments & DetailingVintage Styling: Fine herringbone purfling on the soundboard and a matching herringbone rosette.Binding: Antique white/grained ivoroid.Inlays: Abalone "Diamonds and Squares" (long pattern) across the fretboard.Signature: Eric Clapton's signature is intricately inlaid in mother-of-pearl between the 19th and 20th frets.Hardware: Nickel-plated, vintage-style open-gear tuning machines with butterbean knobs.
The guitar is very clean with very minor signs of wear.
Comes with original case and paperwork.
