“Change the World,” is hailed as one of the world’s top three guitarists. \u003cbr\u003eReleased in 1996, the Martin 000-28EC has become an indispensable companion and trademark for him, both in his performances and on tour. \u003cbr\u003eWith countless fans—both in Japan and abroad—who have been influenced by him, the 000-28EC is also a guitar many aspire to own, and surely many have thought, “I wish I could play those classic songs on a Clapton model…”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e—A signature model packed with Eric Clapton’s attention to detail\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, along with herringbone trim. \u003cbr\u003eSince herringbone is also used on the rosette, it’s safe to assume the design is inspired by the 000-28 models from the 1930s and 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0608\/1321\/3933\/files\/th_IMG_0239_c9d3735b-fdf7-43c8-80bc-da320390a55c.jpg?v=1757246661\"
