What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

  One of the most well-known and well-loved models in production!  Looks, sound, and playability are all here in spades.  The appointments encompass the perfect blend between vintage sensibility and Eric Clapton's own impeccable taste.  The full bodystyle (closer to an OM than most 000s) gets you a full but balanced voicing--this is certainly one of the biggest sounding short scales on the market.  The rosewood back and sides accentuate the bass and treble wonderfully, encouraging you to listen all the more closely to all the new nuance you'll hear in fingerstyle blues arrangements.  And don't be afraid to strum it, either!  Call us today and get your hands on this gorgeous piece before it finds a new home--these models never stay with us long!

Manufacturer's Description from Martin

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.

About Manufacturer

For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
