Critic Reviews

The Eric Clapton Martin Guitar 000-28EC Review | David Boles, Blogs

bolesblogs.com

The Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton Signature guitar is a beacon of acoustic excellence, praised for its flawless construction and rich, classic Martin sound. The reviewer lauds its smooth action and comfortable fit, with the "Modified V" neck and elegant aesthetics, including a gorgeous solid East Indian rosewood back and silking on the Sitka spruce top. While not a booming powerhouse, its mid-sized frame offers a balanced, resonant tone that captures the essence of Martin's craftsmanship. The review, however, offers little in the way of drawbacks, making it an overwhelmingly positive endorsement of this signature piece.
