The 000-28EC is a 000-14 Fret in East Indian rosewood with a spruce top, scalloped X-bracing and a genuine mahogany neck in the Modified V shape with the Standard Taper. It has a 1 3/4" nut on a 24.9" scale, and the abalone Diamonds and Squares Long Pattern on the ebony board includes an Eric Clapton signature inlaid in awabi.
Fine herringbone around the top and rosette, antique white binding, a gloss neck and nickel open-gear tuners keep the styling vintage. The headplate is East Indian rosewood with the Script Old Style Overlay logo.
It comes in Natural, with an Antique Toner on the top, or Sunburst, which is Martin's 1935 Sunburst. The shop would pick the Natural, where the light toner leaves the herringbone and abalone as the main detail. For the same rosewood 000 without the signature details, look at the 000-28. The 000-EC 30th Anniversary has a 1 11/16" Authentic 1939 neck and GE 42 Snowflake inlays.
