"$3000 for a guitar?"

Sound:

This guitar has fantastic balance. The treble notes are crisp and bright, the bass notes deep and throaty. Of the eleven guitars I own this one is my favorite. Very tight, close action that plays well right up the neck. I also own a D-28, several Guilds and a Gibson Les Paul custom and this is still my favorite guitar.

Feature:

Craftmanship is typical first rate Martin. The neck, bridge and nut are factory set up and I don't know how the action could be improved.

Quality:

The best Martin has to offer. Not one blemish.

Manufacturer Support:

Never had any need to call on this guitar.

Value:

A premium instrument that most can't afford, however, I feel it is worth every dime for the pleasure in playing this instrument.

The Wow Factor:

It looks like every other Martin except for the Eric Clapton Signature on the fret board. Most folks would not know you were playing such a high end guitar, but you will.

Overall:

I wish I had bought it sooner.

"Puts My Other Guitars to Shame"

Sound:

For my money there is nothing out there that beat the overall sound that this instrument delivers. It is fantastically alive and vibrant.

Feature:

The 000-28EC is the best combination of incredible sound, short-scale, wide string spacing and smaller body size that any finger picker could ever dream of.

Ease of Use:

The typical string action of 000-28ECs is set up just a tad high for my bare-fingerpicking tastes but it is otherwise so easy to play that it is soon forgotten.

Quality:

Much better top wood on these guitars than most others in the Martin line

Manufacturer Support:

I haven't had the opportunity to use Martin's support, but I can't imagine any guitar company's support being better than Taylor's.

Value:

At a street price of just under $3K new, this is a remarkable bargain for what Martin delivers in this instrument.

Overall:

I have never coveted a guitar like I did this one and never had a moments "buyer's remorse". It is everything I was looking for and much more. I love my Martin M-38 and my Taylor 712 but I doubt I will play them much anymore. It is just impossible for me not to pick up the 000-EC when I feel the urge to play.
