Some signature guitars become icons because they capture the artistry of the musician whose name they bear. Available now at Haggerty's Music, this 2006 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature is one of the most celebrated acoustic models ever produced, inspired by Clapton's unforgettable MTV Unplugged performance and his enduring partnership with C.F. Martin & Co. Combining classic pre-war Martin appointments with premium tonewoods and a comfortable short-scale design, the 000-28EC has earned its reputation as one of the finest fingerstyle and acoustic performance guitars available. This well-maintained example has also been professionally upgraded with an L.R. Baggs Anthem pickup system, making it equally at home on stage and in the studio while retaining its original Martin deluxe hardshell case.

Its select bookmatched quartersawn Sitka spruce top and premium East Indian rosewood back and sides create the warm, balanced voice that has made this model legendary. The 000 body size offers exceptional articulation, responsiveness, and projection, making it equally suited for delicate fingerpicking, expressive blues, intricate flatpicking, and full-bodied strumming. The modified V-shaped neck feels substantial yet comfortable, while the ebony fingerboard features Martin's elegant long diamonds-and-squares abalone inlays along with Eric Clapton's signature inlaid at the 20th fret. The current medium to medium-high action allows the guitar to ring with outstanding clarity and sustain, while ample saddle height remains for players who prefer a lower setup.

Classic Martin craftsmanship is evident throughout, from the herringbone top purfling and grained ivoroid binding to the polished gloss finish and open-gear butterbean tuners. The professionally installed L.R. Baggs Anthem electronics faithfully reproduce the guitar's natural acoustic voice, making this instrument an excellent choice for live performance without compromising its traditional character. Complete with its original Martin deluxe hardshell case, this 2006 000-28EC is a remarkable opportunity to own one of Martin's most beloved signature models: An instrument that continues to inspire players with its timeless tone, exceptional craftsmanship, and enduring musical legacy.
