Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Celebrating 30 years of collaboration

The Martin 000 EC is a milestone model that celebrates three decades of Eric Clapton’s collaboration with Martin Guitar, marking a partnership that has shaped the sound of modern acoustic music. Limited to availability through March 2026, this commemorative edition honours Clapton’s legacy with a carefully chosen blend of traditional tonewoods, vintage styling, and fine detailing that reflects both Martin’s craftsmanship and Clapton’s taste. Every detail of this guitar, from the body shape to the inlay pattern, has been designed to echo the legendary instruments Clapton has performed with, particularly the one featured during his iconic MTV Unplugged set. This model is more than just a tribute—it’s a professional-grade instrument that delivers expressive tone, high-end appointments, and collector-level exclusivity, all in one beautifully constructed package.

Premium tonewoods and timeless tone

Built with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the 000 EC offers the classic Martin voice—rich, balanced, and resonant with strong lows, clear mids, and articulate highs. This tonewood pairing has long been favoured for its ability to handle delicate fingerstyle passages as well as powerful strumming, offering impressive projection and tonal nuance. The scalloped X-bracing further enhances the responsiveness of the top, allowing it to breathe and vibrate freely for a dynamic, open sound. Combined with the 000 body size, which naturally emphasises clarity and balance, this guitar delivers a versatile tone that responds beautifully across a range of genres and playing styles. From the studio to the stage, it’s a guitar that performs at the highest level while paying homage to a legendary sound.

Authentic neck shape and vintage feel

One of the standout features of the Martin 000 EC is its Authentic 1939 neck profile, crafted from genuine mahogany and shaped to replicate the pre-war Martin neck Clapton used during his Unplugged performance. The result is a slim, comfortable feel that fits naturally in your hand, offering a smooth and familiar playing experience. The 24.9" scale length gives the strings a slightly slinkier tension, making bends easier and reducing fatigue during long sessions. Meanwhile, the narrower 1 11/16" nut width provides a fast, agile feel that suits fingerpickers and flatpickers alike. These vintage-inspired specs aren’t just about nostalgia—they’re carefully chosen to deliver a playing experience that feels effortless and musical from the moment you pick it up. You can explore subtle dynamics or lay down a strong groove with ease thanks to its beautifully responsive neck.

Stylish appointments and signature details

The visual aesthetic of the 000 EC is just as refined as its tone. This limited-edition model features antique white binding and a classic herringbone top trim, giving it a timeless appearance that echoes the golden age of acoustic guitar design. The fingerboard and bridge are crafted from high-grade ebony, offering durability and elegance under your fingers. Inlaid with Golden Era 42-style snowflakes, the fingerboard presents a level of ornamentation that remains tasteful yet distinctive. The faux tortoise pickguard and nickel open-gear tuners complete the vintage look while maintaining modern reliability. Each guitar includes a paper label with Eric Clapton’s pre-printed signature and a printed certificate of authenticity, cementing its status as a collector’s item. It’s these thoughtful finishing touches that elevate this model beyond a standard signature guitar and into the realm of true legacy instruments.

Strung for Clapton’s signature sound

To round out its authenticity, the Martin 000 EC comes factory-strung with Clapton’s Choice phosphor bronze light gauge strings (MEC12), known for their warm, balanced tone and smooth playability. These strings are specifically chosen to enhance the tonal character of the guitar, delivering a full, expressive voice that remains clear and rich across all registers. Pick through bluesy runs or drive rhythmic acoustic parts—these strings respond with consistent tone and feel. An extra set is included in the case pocket so you can keep your tone fresh and stage-ready. With no onboard electronics, the 000 EC stays true to the tradition of pure acoustic sound, allowing the natural voice of the guitar to shine through without interference. This is a guitar that rewards dynamic playing and expressive touch, capturing every nuance in a way that feels personal and powerful.
