30 Years of an Icon: The Martin 000-EC 30th Anniversary
A Milestone in Guitar History
Celebrate three decades of the legendary partnership between Eric Clapton and Martin Guitar. This 000-EC 30th Anniversary model is a tribute to the collaboration that defined the acoustic era of the 90s. Available only through March 2026, this limited-edition signature model is a must-have for fans and collectors alike.
Pre-War Inspiration & Modern Playability
This anniversary edition is distinguished by its Genuine Mahogany neck carved to an Authentic 1939 shape. This profile is directly inspired by the pre-war Martin Eric played during his career-defining MTV Unplugged performance. Combined with a shorter scale length and a slimmer nut width, it offers the effortless playability and vintage feel that Clapton enthusiasts demand.
