Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good
This OOO-28EC is the kind of classic Martin top-shelf sophistication they're known for, and they pull out all the stops for this Clapton model. We love sitka/rosewood guitars for the tonal balance they provide: just the right amount of excitement from the rosewood and just the right amount of stability from the sitka. It's a tonal pallette you can throw literally anything muscially at and expect good results. The 24.9" scale length has always been a favorite of ours, the strings slink in a really comfortable way, making all those smooth licks Eric is known for that much easier for you to do. The finish on the top also gives the instrument a classic aged look and feel that is Martin vibe all the way.
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.
