000-28 Eric Clapton Sunburst Guitar
CHF 5'499.00

These guitars have been designed to satisfy the needs of a small, select group of the worlds most respected and most popular musicians. The John Mayer and Eric Clapton models are highest quality instruments for the demanding musician, true fans and collectors. The Ed Sheeran Model is just as reliable but by choosing far more modest materials and production at the Mexican plant, Ed made sure that his Martin signature guitar is priced so all of his fans can afford it.
Johnny Cash fans have a choice of either a black D-35, just like the one he used to play, or the posthumous DX Johnny Cash for the fan on a limited budget.
Finally Martin regularly releases their CEO models in accordance with C. F. Martin IV. These are limited runs, using unusual woods, shapes or finishes.

The 000-28EC Sunburst is modeled after Eric Claptons guitar of choice for his iconic MTV-Unplugged performance. The 14 fret 000 size body is counstructed of solid spruce and solid East Indian rosewood for that classic 000 sound. The modified V neck shape, the Eric Clapton signature inlay in the last fret and the stunning sunburst finish set this guitar apart from the rest.
