Martin 000-EC 30th Anniversary (172)

Celebrate three decades of Eric Clapton’s legendary collaboration with Martin Guitar with the 000-EC 30th Anniversary acoustic. Available only through March 2026, this milestone model features solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top for a rich, resonant tone, accented by fine herringbone trim and antique white binding. This limited-edition signature model is further distinguished by its genuine mahogany neck and Authentic 1939 shape, inspired by the pre-war Martin Eric played during his iconic MTV Unplugged performance. Not only does it offer a shorter scale length, but vintage-inspired touches include a slimmer nut width and Golden Era 42-style snowflake inlay on its ebony fingerboard, combining classic looks with effortless playability. Each guitar includes a paper label with Eric’s pre-printed signature, a printed certificate of authenticity to further commemorate our longstanding partnership, and a premium, embroidered case. 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. For fans seeking an even more vintage vibe, explore the 000-42EC 30th Anniversary model, styled after his Unplugged guitar. Together, these instruments honor 30 years of groundbreaking guitar collaboration, offering something for every fan of Eric and Martin.
