Designed in Collaboration with Eric Clapton. . .

The Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model was designed in collaboration with Clapton himself to create an unforgettable instrument. Boasting solid East Indian rosewood construction matched with an ebony fingerboard, this 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model has a rich, complex sound with plenty of overtones. The exquisite appointments like finely-patterned herringbone wood marquetry and pre-war Style 28 inlays only add to its unique character. Whether you're a Clapton fan or not, any guitarist can appreciate the Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model.

Based on one of Eric Clapton's favorite guitars

The Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model is based on Clapton's guitar of choice that he used for his MTV Unplugged performance. It's made from East Indian rosewood, a solid spruce top, and boasts well-balanced tone.

You just can't beat the sound of solid spruce and solid rosewood

As a tribute to an iconic guitar, the Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model spares no expense on its tonewoods. You'll love the crisp sound of the 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model's solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, and they look fantastic. What's more, the 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model is topped with solid spruce, adding rich and mellow overtones. When you imagine what a classic acoustic guitar is supposed to sound like, this is it!

Looks that draw you in

Just like classic Martins, the 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model has a lot of charm. From the fine herringbone rosette to the "HD Zig-zag" back purfling, the 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model boasts iconic Martin attention to detail throughout.

Martin 000-28 Eric Clapton Signature Model Acoustic Guitar Features:

  • Based on Clapton's choice guitar used in his MTV Unplugged performance
  • Solid tonewoods throughout will enhance in tone as they age
  • Compensated bone saddles provide exceptionally stable tuning and intonation
  • Combination of East Indian rosewood and spruce gives you rich, balanced tone with definition
  • Comes with 533E Geib-style hard case

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience. From our online Guitar Gallery that allows you to see and select the exact instrument you want to our 55-point Inspection process and our in-house guitar techs, we take the guesswork out of buying your next guitar online.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

The Best Martin!

I think it's a monumental guitar with Martin's essence. Beautiful features, deep & sweet sounds, and Eric's signature add dignity. It touches me every time I play.
Rated 5/5

Acoustic Heaven

The guitar is great to play. I find it easy to play. I wish I had bought one years ago.

000-28 Eric Clapton

This was my first time ordering a guitar online. I was reluctant at first but finally ordered it and found it to be a pleasant experience. The guitar was received within a few days and was in excellent condition on arrival. The advantage of buying online is there are much more selection available than what I find in my local music stores. I would recommend ordering from Sweetwater to others and would do it again
in the future.

Best guitar I have ever owned

I have only ever dreamed of owning a higher end Martin guitar, and this was well worth the years of waiting to be able to afford one. This guitar makes me a better player because it is so easy to play. Barre chords are a breeze, and the amount of pressure it takes to fret a note or a chord is minimal. The projection of sound is unbelievable, and the sustain lasts forever. Lows, miss, and highs blend well, and it has that great Martin bass to it. Some people do not like the neck, they say it is blocky, but I think it is just fine. I love this guitar, and buying it from Sweetwater made the experience even more wonderful.
Rated 5/5

Guitar is a beast!

I have owned this guitar for a year. It's a lot more guitar than my playing ability, but I wanted an instrument for life that I would be inspired to pick up and play. I find the guitar very comfortable. I compared it to a HD28 and although that guitar was amazing, I decided to keep the 000-28ec instead due to the smaller size and amazing sound. Talk about resonance! I mean this guitar just keeps ringing out forever! I strum a lot and find it to be very good unless you are hitting it very hard. For finger picking it is wonderful and so responsive to a light touch. It's not cheap but worth every penny. I highly recommend it.
