No sales tax for customers outside California.

This 2003 Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature Model (#7974) is a premium example of one of Martin’s most celebrated artist signature guitars. Based on Clapton’s favored vintage 000-style Martins, the 000-28EC combines traditional craftsmanship, balanced tone, and boutique-level detail in a stage- and studio-ready acoustic.

This guitar is so very near mint - it looks like it did when it was new in 2003.The frets and fretboard show very slight signs of use.  All of the original paperwork is in the original case, including the unused lifetime warranty paperwork.

The neck is perfect.  There are no changes, repairs, or issues.  The saddle is high and the action is just where you want it.

Crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, this model offers a lush, articulate tone with warm lows, clear mids, and sparkling highs. The modified V-shaped mahogany neck and short 24.9" scale make for exceptional playability and responsiveness, especially for fingerstyle players and light strummers. The guitar features elegant appointments, including herringbone top trim, a vintage-style rosette, and Clapton’s signature inlaid at the 20th fret.

This particular example is in like-new condition, showing minimal signs of play and comes complete with its original hardshell case and paperwork. Whether you're a fan of Clapton, a collector of signature models, or a player seeking rich, dynamic acoustic tone in a comfortable 000-size body, this 000-28EC delivers timeless style and iconic Martin sound.
