This 2013 Martin 00-28EC Sunburst is in good overall condition, with its fair share of play wear and past repairs. It has a large crack on the heel that was repaired by our luthier, as well as having had a neck reset and bridge plate repair in house. It has had some binding repair in the past, most noticeable at the heel, and otherwise has a fair few dings, scratches, and marks. The frets exhibit no wear and was set up after the work performed.
Classic Acoustic Tone and Short-Scale Comfort with Unmistakable Stage Presence
The Guitar Sanctuary is proud to offer this preowned Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature Model in Sunburst finish. Built to the exact specs favored by Slowhand himself, the 000-28EC combines a comfortable 000 body size with a shorter 24.9" scale length, creating an effortless response that excels at fingerstyle blues, acoustic lead work, and intimate vocal accompaniment.
Crafted with a solid Sitka Spruce top featuring a striking vintage Sunburst lacquer finish, solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, and traditional scalloped X-bracing, this instrument delivers a woody, articulate tone with rich harmonic depth and punchy midrange projection. The comfortable Modified V neck profile features an ebony fingerboard adorned with Eric Clapton’s signature inlay between the 19th and 20th frets and pre-war style abalone diamond and square markers.
Sanctuary Expert Note:
"There is something truly special about a played-in 000-28EC. The combination of the shorter 24.9" scale length and solid East Indian Rosewood gives you string bending ease and warm acoustic bloom that brand-new guitars take years to develop. If you want a genuine Clapton signature with broken-in vintage vibe and open resonance at a great value, this Sunburst 000-28EC is the real deal."
