Details
The 000-28EC model was a huge hit when it became a stock model in 1996, and no wonder as it was one of the first 000 models to offer the shorter 24.9" scale with light top bracing. Combined with the herringbone top border, herringbone rosette , and vintage top coloring (based on Clapton's personal vintage 000), plus other vintage features, it's easy to see how this model paved the way for Martin's deep dive into reviving their vintage styles in contemporary models.
This example hasn't seen a lot of playing time, at least not yet, even the pickguard is almost scratch-free but there are a few very light shirt-button squiggles to the lacquer on the back. Comes with equally clean original hardshell case.
