Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

Boom! You know what this is, don't you? Of course you do. Aside from the powerhouse D-18/D-28 duo, this very well may be one of Martin's most popular models to date. Comfortable to play and classic to the ear, these short scale models offer plenty of punch and polish in equal measure. These go quick--don't miss it!

SP Luthier Notes: Fretwork, Cosmetic Work

From Martin and Co.

We based this model on Eric Clapton’s guitar of choice for his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. Constructed from East Indian rosewood, the visually stunning 000-28EC produces a well-balance tone.
