Description:
The Martin 000-EC 30th Anniversary celebrates three decades of the legendary collaboration between Eric Clapton and Martin Guitar, paying tribute to one of the most iconic signature models in the history of modern acoustic luthiery. This limited edition is available only until March 2026, designed to offer a perfect synthesis of tradition, elegance, and playability.
Equipped with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000-EC 30th Anniversary produces a rich, resonant, and well-balanced sound. The combination of these fine woods delivers a clear voice, with controlled bass, articulated mids, and brilliant highs, making it ideal for both fingerstyle playing and more dynamic accompaniment.
The neck, crafted from solid mahogany, features an Authentic 1939 profile that recalls pre-war Martins in shape and comfort. The short scale of 24.9" facilitates playability due to a softer string tension, while the ebony fingerboard showcases elegant "snowflake" inlays in the style of Golden Era 42. The slightly narrower nut further enhances playability, allowing for a natural approach even in the most intricate passages.
Each guitar comes with an internal label bearing the pre-stamped signature of Eric Clapton and a printed certificate of authenticity, confirming its belonging to this limited edition. The included embroidered hard case provides solid and well-finished protection.
With this model, Martin reaffirms its mastery in combining tradition and innovation. The Martin 000-EC 30th Anniversary is not only a collector's guitar but also a fully professional instrument, designed for the most discerning musicians and enthusiasts of the most authentic Martin sound.
