The Martin 000-28EC is a collaboration between Martin Guitar and renowned guitarist Eric Clapton. This acoustic guitar is meticulously crafted to meet Clapton's demanding specifications and capture his iconic tone and playing style.
The 000-28EC features a 000 body shape, which is slightly smaller than a traditional dreadnought, offering a comfortable playing experience and excellent balance. The top is made of solid Sitka Spruce, known for its clarity, projection, and responsiveness. The back and sides are crafted from solid East Indian Rosewood, contributing to a rich, warm, and full-bodied tone.
The select hardwood neck is shaped to Clapton's preferred modified V profile, providing a comfortable grip and vintage-inspired feel. The ebony fingerboard features elegant snowflake inlays, adding a touch of sophistication to the instrument's appearance.
The 000-28EC is equipped with Fishman Matrix Infinity electronics, allowing you to amplify its natural acoustic sound with precision and clarity. The system accurately reproduces the guitar's tonal nuances and dynamics, making it suitable for both stage and studio performances.
The guitar showcases exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail, with features such as herringbone top trim, grained ivoroid binding, and a tortoise pickguard. These elements not only enhance the guitar's visual appeal but also contribute to its overall resonance and tone.
The 000-28EC is a versatile instrument that excels in various playing styles, from fingerpicking to strumming. It is a testament to the collaboration between Eric Clapton's musical vision and Martin Guitar's dedication to crafting exceptional instruments.
Please note that availability and specifications may vary, so it's best to check with authorized Martin dealers or the official Martin Guitar website for the most up-to-date information on the 000-28EC model.
