What am I missing here?

What's Hot
TimmyOTimmyO Frets: 6976
in Acoustics
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 :).

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

    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.

    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
