The Story

000-42EC 30th Anniversary Eric Clapton Acoustic Limited Edition

This is the 000-42EC 30th Anniversary model from Martin, celebrating 30 years of Eric Claptons collaborations with the legendary acoustic company. Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide, this milestone model will feature a solid Adirondack spruce top paired with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides. The scalloped Adirondack spruce Golden Era-inspired bracing enhances resonance and projection, ensuring this guitar fills any room with an unmistakably full-bodied sound. The genuine mahogany neck and Authentic 1939 shape, paired with a slightly thinner nut width and an ebony fingerboard adorned with Golden Era 42-style snowflake inlay, offers effortless playability and classic looks. Not only does this guitar showcase vintage-inspired specs and dazzling pearl inlay, but each limited-edition signature model includes a paper label hand-signed by Clapton himself and a printed certificate of authenticity to further commemorate the longstanding partnership. The guitar has a shorter 24.9" scale length with an 1-11/16" nut width for comfortable playing and topping off the looks is a Style 42 set of snowflake fretboard inlays. Each guitar includes a paper label pre-signed with Eric Claptons signature and a printed certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case and Certificate of Authenticity
