NEW ARRIVAL Never underestimate just how important Eric Clapton was to the resurgence of the acoustic guitar in the 90’s with his Unplugged performance. Consequently his signature model Martin 00028 is one of the most desirable Martin models. It’s a classic Spruce / Indian Rosewood 000 with scalloped X bracing. The neck has a soft V profile, with Ebony fingerboard and diamond Abalone inlays. Herringbone body binding frames the honeyed top, the bridge is Ebony and the tortoise pickguard is very eye catching. There are open back butterbean tuners adding a touch of class, and of course the Clapton signature in Abalone on the 20th fret. The guitar sounds as good as it looks with a full bass, strong mids and sparkling trebles – very responsive, with great clarity and articulation. It’s in excellent condition, with a very comfortable neck and great playability. The guitar comes in its original deluxe Martin hard case.
