Martin OOO-42EC 30th Anniversary Adirondack/Guatemalan Rosewood Vintage Gloss OOO Acoustic Guitar #7796

The Martin 000-42EC 30th Anniversary is a tribute to one of the most iconic collaborations in acoustic guitar history. Built to commemorate three decades of partnership between Martin and Eric Clapton, this limited edition model takes direct inspiration from the guitar heard around the world during Clapton’s MTV Unplugged performance. Only 300 of these were made, and every detail is crafted to reflect that legacy. This guitar features a premium Adirondack spruce top with antique toner, paired with Guatemalan rosewood back and sides for a warm, deep tone that responds equally well to fingerstyle and flatpicking. Scalloped Golden Era bracing carved from Adirondack spruce enhances projection and tonal complexity, giving it a voice that fills any room with clarity and character. A genuine mahogany neck shaped to Martin’s 1939 profile, along with a slightly narrower nut and vintage-style snowflake inlays, completes the player-friendly feel. This is more than a collector’s piece—each instrument is hand-signed by Eric Clapton, ships in an embroidered Harptone case with a matching shroud, and includes a signed certificate of authenticity. Strung with Clapton’s Choice phosphor bronze strings, the 000-42EC 30th Anniversary is a rare blend of artistry, legacy, and tone.
