Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: Binding that had lifted was reglued and reset to ensure a secure, consistent fit. A neck reset was performed to restore proper neck angle and action. All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. A setup was completed. No further work required. 

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!

 

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.
