the world’s top three guitarists.\u003cbr\u003eThe Martin 000-28EC, released in 1996, is arguably his indispensable companion and trademark instrument for both his performances and tours.With countless fans influenced by him both in Japan and\u003cbr\u003eabroad, the 000-28EC is also a guitar many aspire to own—and surely many have thought, “If only I could play those classic songs on a Clapton model…”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e—A signature model packed with Eric Clapton’s personal touches\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 000-sized body is crafted from spruce and features an amber-colored finish that gives it the look of a vintage guitar.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to the finish, it features white binding that accentuates the body’s contours, as well as herringbone trim.\u003cbr\u003eSince herringbone is also used on the rosette, it’s clear that the design draws inspiration from the 000-28 models of the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg
