Product Description

The Sound of an Era, In Your Hands

This isn’t just a guitar; it’s a piece of music history. The Martin 000-28EC is a direct link to the legendary tone Eric Clapton conjured during his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. This pre-owned 2020 model captures that same magic, offering the balanced, articulate voice that made the original a staple for players and recording artists worldwide. It’s in excellent condition and ready to inspire your own unplugged moments.

Timeless Tonewoods and Craftsmanship

The heart of this guitar’s sound comes from its classic pairing of a solid Spruce top with East Indian Rosewood back and sides. This combination delivers a rich, complex tone with warm, resonant lows and crisp, clear highs. The smaller 000-14 fret body size makes it incredibly comfortable to hold and play, while the shorter 24.9″ scale length provides a slinky, buttery feel with easier string bending. Martin’s scalloped X-bracing allows the top to vibrate freely, enhancing volume and dynamic response for a truly expressive playing experience.

Signature Feel and Appointments

Every detail is crafted to Clapton’s preferred specifications. The Genuine Mahogany neck features a Modified V profile that fills the hand comfortably, a favorite of vintage guitar lovers. The elegant Ebony fingerboard is adorned with Abalone diamonds and squares, culminating in Clapton’s signature inlaid between the 19th and 20th frets. This model is also equipped with a Fishman electronics system, making it ready for the stage or studio right out of its hardshell case.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The 000-28EC is built to Eric Clapton’s specifications. Key differences include the Modified V neck profile, the shorter 24.9-inch scale length for easier playability, and the signature inlay on the fretboard. It’s designed to replicate the feel and tone of the vintage Martin he used for his Unplugged album.

It’s a vintage-style neck that has a subtle ‘V’ shape to it, as opposed to a modern ‘C’ shape. Many players find it incredibly comfortable, especially if you wrap your thumb around the top. It feels substantial without being bulky and is a real treat for fans of classic guitar necks.

Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.

This guitar is covered by our 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.

Orders ship same day in most cases and arrive within 1-4 business days with free, insured shipping. We’ll get it into your hands as quickly as we can.

Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.

Player-Perfect™ Setups

Every guitar we sell is dialed in by seasoned musicians. We obsess over the details—perfect intonation, immaculate fretwork, and ideal action—so your guitar is ready to rip right out of the case. No exceptions.

Advice From Real Players

Call us and you get a fellow musician, not a script. We'll help you compare neck profiles, talk tone, and find the right guitar for you—even if it's not this one. Our reputation is built on honest conversation.

49+ Years Of Trust

Family-owned since 1976, we stand behind everything we sell. That's why we have a 72-Hour Love-It Guarantee. If you're not inspired, send it back on our dime for a full refund. Your satisfaction is our legacy.
