MARTIN 000-EC Eric Clapton 30th Anniversary

Product details

Celebrate three decades of Eric Clapton’s legendary collaboration with Martin Guitar with
the 000-42EC 30th Anniversary acoustic. Limited to just 300 instruments, this milestone
model takes inspiration from the guitar Clapton played during his iconic MTV Unplugged
performance, faithfully capturing the essence of that pre-war Martin. Crafted with
premium tonewoods, the 000-42EC 30th Anniversary pairs a solid Adirondack spruce top
with antique toner and solid Guatemalan rosewood back and sides. This combination
delivers a warm, rich tonal depth, perfectly suited for both delicate fingerstyle playing
and bold strumming. 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 limitededition signature model includes a paper label hand-signed by Clapton himself and a
printed certificate of authenticity to further commemorate our longstanding partnership.
It even comes strung with Clapton’s Choice phosphor bronze strings for his preferred
sound and feel, plus an extra set in the case pocket. Together with the 000-EC 30th
Anniversary model, these instruments honor 30 years of groundbreaking guitar
collaboration, offering something for every fan of Clapton and Martin.
