About the Martin Vintage Series 000-28EC Eric Clapton

The 000-28EC is Martin's signature 000, introduced in 1996, still made, and built in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA. It is a 14-fret 000 with a solid Sitka spruce top, solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, scalloped X bracing in 5/16 inch spruce and a dovetail neck joint. The neck is mahogany with a modified V profile, a 1 3/4 inch nut and 2 1/4 inches at the 12th fret, on a 24.9 inch scale with an ebony fingerboard and bridge, 20 frets and a 16 inch radius. The Style 28 trim includes herringbone top trim and rosette, grained ivoroid binding, a zig-zag back strip, abalone diamonds-and-squares inlays and a signature inlay between the 19th and 20th frets. The finish is gloss nitrocellulose; the top is natural with antique toner or 1935 Sunburst.

An interior label carries a number giving the guitar's place in the 000-28EC run, separate from the serial number. Weighed examples come in at about 4.1 to 4.2 lb (1.8 to 1.9 kg). The case is a Martin hardshell, a Geib-style 533 or 533E on many, often green-lined, with a key, an end pin or strap button and paperwork in the pocket. No pickup is standard; Fishman and LR Baggs systems were factory options, and many used ones have an LR Baggs (often the Anthem) or Fishman pickup added after purchase. Lacquer cracks (finish checking) turn up on older ones; they are in the finish, not the wood.
