Product information

The Martin 000-42EC commemorates the recently-minted 30 year relationship between C.F. Martin and Eric Clapton. Crafted in loving tribute to the pre-war 000-42 Clapton played on his famous "Unplugged" record, the 000-42EC was limited to 300 pieces worldwide. Featuring Guatemalan Rosewood back & sides, an Adirondack Spruce top, and Martin's "Authentic 1939" neck shape, this instrument's sound is warm, lush, and powerful all at once -- a fitting tribute to the legendary guitar that produced so many tunes we can all hum on demand.

This particular guitar remains in excellent pre-owned condition, with only the most minor signs of previous handling. The original owner has kept it perfectly humidified; and our techs have inspected it thoroughly. Priced with a fresh setup and its original hard case, this 000-42EC is ready for anyone looking for a great-sounding example of this highly collectible model.
