Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature

The popular Martin 000-28EC signature model is a meticulously crafted tribute to the pre-war guitar Eric Clapton played during his legendary MTV Unplugged performance. Its 000-sized body delivers a balanced tone across all six strings, while the East Indian rosewood back and sides provide rich resonance and depth, complemented by a spruce top that adds clarity and brightness.

Its shorter 24.9" scale length, preferred by Clapton, is ideal for both fingerstyle playing and expressive bends, while the authentic mahogany modified V-neck offers comfort and control.

The guitar’s aesthetic is enhanced by an antique tone top, herringbone inlays, and a glossy finish. Whether you’re playing Slowhand’s classics or your own unplugged melodies, this special edition guitar embodies Clapton’s influence on acoustic music, delivering the same tonal richness and playability that defined his iconic performance and career.
