Martin Acoustic Guitar, 000-42EC, 30th Anniversary w/Hardshell Case

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 limited-edition 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.
