The 000 body size and shorter scale length enhance playability and string flexibility, making it especially responsive to fingerstyle and blues playing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example features premium vintage-style appointments including a tortoise-style bevelled pickguard, Waverly open-gear nickel tuners with butterbean knobs, and an old-style Martin headstock logo. Eric Clapton’s signature is inlaid in mother-of-pearl between the 19th and 20th frets, along with an internal numbered label signed by Clapton and Chris Martin IV, identifying this example as number 7293.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlayability is excellent, with a comfortable neck profile and responsive shorter-scale feel that encourages expressive playing across all positions. The guitar delivers impressive dynamic range, offering both clarity and warmth with strong note separation and sustain that exceeds expectations for its body size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition is excellent, presenting close to near-new with only very light signs of use, including a few faint pick marks on and around the pickguard visible only under certain light. The back, sides, neck, and hardware remain exceptionally clean, with minimal fret wear and no significant cosmetic wear. The setup is currently on the higher side with good neck relief, contributing to strong tonal output and can be adjusted if required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Martin 000-28EC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Polished gloss with vintage toner (back, sides and neck gloss finish)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid East Indian rosewood back and sides\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Select hardwood, modified V profile, dovetail neck joint\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid ebony with diamonds \u0026amp; squares long pattern inlays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24.9\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid ebony belly-style\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners\u003c\/strong\u003e: Nickel open-geared with butterbean knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Martin 533E Geib-style hard case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53838913306943,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G94269723","price":2747.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/24011a.jpg?v=1782094864","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/martin-000-28ec-eric-clapton-signature-usa-2003","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
