Get classic D-28 sound with this Martin.

Rich and Full With Excellent Projection

It’s always hard to replicate an original—especially when the guitar is as legendary as the Martin 000-28. However, with the limited-edition Martin Eric Clapton D-28 signature acoustic, Martin has made a faithful reproduction of the original. Featuring a resonant Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides, this Martin Eric Clapton D-28 Signature Limited Edition gives you a sound that’s rich and full with excellent projection – pretty true to the sound of the classic D-28.

Built to Eric Clapton’s Specs

The limited-edition Martin Eric Clapton D-28 signature acoustic was built exactly to Clapton’s preferred specs. It features Clapton's preferred signature V neck profile and an ebony fingerboard that make it supremely easy and comfortable to play. Other special features include the Eric Clapton abalone signature inlay between the 19th and 20th frets.

Classic Martin D-28 Features

The limited-edition Eric Clapton D-28 Signature also features appointments that stay true to the classic D-28, such the Vintage Belly bridge in ebony, open-gear "butter-bean" tuners, herringbone purfling, traditional abalone diamond and square fingerboard inlays, and the iconic "5-9-5" rosette. Limited to just 60 guitars worldwide, this Martin D-28 Eric Clapton signature also features a label bearing printed signatures of both Clapton and Chris Martin.
