Guitars Pedals Amps & Stuff are excited this week as the almighty Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature Acoustic Guitar in Sunburst is now back in stock.

The Martin 000-28EC is based on the guitar Eric Clapton used in his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. With its 000 14-fret body, East Indian rosewood back and sides and Sitka spruce top, the 000-28EC captures that rich, versatile tone that can be heard throughout Clapton's legendary acoustic set.

Body

This guitar utilises Martin's '000' body shape with solid East Indian rosewood for the back and sides and solid Sitka spruce for top. The combination of these tonewoods with the 000 body shape results in a guitar that's comfortable with a rich, well-balanced, and versatile tone. The articulate and responsive sound of the 000-28EC will let your playing ring out whether you're fingerpicking or strumming.

Neck

The 000-28EC features a gloss finish neck with a Modified V profile, a comfortable shape for wrapping your hand around, particularly if you prefer to rest your thumb on the top of the neck. The neck is topped with an ebony fingerboard which offers a smooth, natural-feeling playing surface and features a Clapton signature inlay before the last fret. While the 000-28EC is suitable for a wide range of styles, the 24.9" scale length and 1 3/4" nut width gives the strings a slightly looser and more spacious feel which makes it very comfortable for fingerstyle.

Stuff About Martin

Martin is one of the most revered names in acoustic guitar history, renowned for its unmatched craftsmanship, tone, and tradition. Founded in 1833 by Christian Frederick Martin, the company pioneered many of the design features that define the modern acoustic guitar, including the dreadnought body shape and X-bracing. Handmade in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, Martin guitars are celebrated for their rich, resonant sound and exceptional build quality. Favoured by artists from Johnny Cash and Neil Young to Ed Sheeran, a Martin guitar embodies timeless tone and heritage, offering players an instrument that only gets better with age.

The Important stuff

Acoustic Guitars — Acoustic guitars are timeless instruments known for their natural tone, warmth, and versatility. Using a hollow wooden body to amplify the sound of vibrating strings, they produce a rich and resonant voice that suits everything from gentle fingerpicking to lively strumming. Favoured by singer-songwriters, folk musicians, and performers across countless genres, acoustic guitars are valued for their simplicity and expressiveness. Available in various body shapes such as dreadnought, concert, and parlour, each offers a unique tonal character and feel. Whether played around a campfire or on stage, acoustic guitars continue to connect people through their pure, organic sound.. Signature. Sunburst — Sunburst refers to a classic guitar finish that fades from a darker edge to a lighter centre, showcasing the natural beauty of the wood beneath. It’s one of the most recognisable and timeless looks in guitar design, adding depth, warmth, and vintage character to any instrument. Available in styles like two-tone, three-tone, and cherry sunburst, each variation brings its own personality and flair. Whether on an acoustic or electric guitar, a sunburst finish captures that perfect blend of tradition and style, making every instrument look as good as it sounds..
