What am I missing here?

TimmyO

Why did this go for so much ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Model-Martin-Guitar-00-28EC-Eric-Clapton-2005-Signature-/172575778554?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&nma=true&si=7broStOqa%2FgvCkpH70gSFwtgjDk%3D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

Is it some sort of special edition or desirable year or .... ?

Limited run, effectively their Custom Shop Signature model

what about the listing or pics reveals it to be some over and above a regular Clapton model?

It's a *double*-O 28, not a triple-O… or at least that's what the listing says. Which makes it super rare, perhaps even the only one known!

That's a typo - the pics show the sticker/label saying 000-28ec

Are you sure you didn't miss something else?

Perhaps I should have put a smiley on it the first time .

TimmyO

Yes I might - hence the thread lol 

Sorry if I'm being dense and missing something obvious... 

ICBM

I was joking…

Everyone assumes you are serious and don't joke - specially as you know so much!!!

The "tinted ceiling" was an optional extra on those models I believe.

TimmyO

I getcha :-) 

So seriously then - has someone just overpaid by a grand or are these on the up? :-/

Last couple sold on eBay for around 2k. so this is either a drunkard, shill bidding or some kind of special version of the EC.

Lewy

Given the slightly shit wording on the auction, I suspect it's some weird shill thing going on - they've sold it off eBay and bid it up so nobody wins etc assuming it's not an out and out scam

Bridgehouse

Meh. That auction reeks of shill to me.


Bet its relisted within the month

At that price I reckon a sale will take forever, man....
