Martin & Co. OOO28-EC Eric Clapton Signature Guitar

One of Martins & Co. most popular guitars, the award winning Eric Clapton signature model 000-28EC features solid East Indian rosewood back and sides with a solid quarter sawn Sitka spruce top.

The smaller body is the renowned '000' size which provides delicate and well balanced tones from bottom to top. The solid rosewood back and sides push through the mellow tones whilst the solid Sitka spruce top provides the clarity to the top end. They have gone above and beyond to make this guitar perfect. The rosette and soundboard are inlaid with herringbone wood marquetry and the body is bound with grained Ivoroid which all make the 000-28EC look as good as it plays.

Its obviously built with Clapton's preference in mind, however, anyone looking for a gorgeous guitar particularly for finger picking and blues look no further then the Martin & Co. 000-28EC.
