2009 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Model Flattop Guitar

This is a quite-clean Eric Clapton-model 000-28 and it's in good health and only needed the most minor glorified setup work to get it ready to hang in the shop. It has an Element pickup installed with a volume control at the soundhole, too.

For those not familiar with the model, the 000-28EC has ben around for a long time an is one of Martin's best-selling artist models. It's a copycat, basically, of Clapton's own guitar and styled on a prewar 000-28 with all of the construction features dialed-in -- plus herringbone trim and aging toner for the top to give it that "nice old look."

This one plays spot-on and is ready to serve.

Repairs included: a very light level/dress of the frets and a setup.

Condition notes: it's in very good order. There may be small scuffs or scratches that I am not noticing -- but I am not noticing them, so they would have to be very small. This has been babied and cared-for since I've known it (4 years or so?) and was apparently babied and cared-for before that, too.


It comes with: a nice Martin hard case and various materials.

Just a note to say I played this in Jake's shop and I thought it was a very good one, fine sounding and in beautiful condition. I am a sucker for a rosewood Martin and I think this one is a home run.
