Martin Eric Clapton 000-42M

Since the original 000-42EC Eric Clapton Signature Edition was introduced in 1995, Clapton has explored the sonic subtleties of various tonewood combinations in the 000 Martin guitars that bear his name, but the 000-42M Eric Clapton Limited Edition may well boast the most exciting tonewood combination yet. The top is Carpathian spruce, which blends the power and clarity of Adirondack spruce, and the warmth and responsiveness of Italian alpine spruce. The back and sides are Madagascar rosewood, prized for its uncanny resemblance in both appearance and rich resonance to the nowendangered Brazilian rosewood. Scalloped top braces give both tonewoods full tonal expression. The 1 3/4” (at the nut) V neck with diamond volute is carved from genuine mahogany. In the tradition of classic Martins from the early 1930s and before, the back of the headstock bears the historic “C. F. Martin” pressure stamp. The ebony fingerboard showcases Style 45 abalone pearl snowflake inlays with Eric Clapton’s signature inlaid in mother of pearl between the 19th and 20th frets.

Each 000-42M Eric Clapton Limited Edition bears an interior label personally signed by Eric Clapton and individually numbered in sequence with the edition total. The guitars are delivered in a deluxe Geib style five-ply hardshell case. C.F. Martin is producing only 250 of these instruments world-wide and Sam Ash Music has a few on the way! Call your local Sam Ash Music store for availability.

Guitars & Basses

Sam Ash and guitars go way back. All the way to the beginning! Since opening our doors in Brooklyn in 1924 we have seen it all from legendary acoustics from Nazareth and Kalamazoo to the introduction of the first solid-body electric guitars. We have been a part of it all. And from the very beginning it's been our goal to provide guitarists with the latest equipment at the best prices, a policy originated by our founder and still carried on by the Ash family today.

Over the years we have refined the way guitars are sold, setting a standard that few other music stores can reach, At each Sam Ash Musical Instrument MegaStore, you’ll find the area's most complete selection of electric and acoustic guitars, basses, amplifiers and accessories on display and ready for you to check out. Our stores feature separate acoustic guitar rooms where you can sit back and play, un-plugged and un-hassled! All amplifiers and effect units are ready to go plug in and play! And then there is our extensive selection of Vintage and Quality previously owned instruments, but our commitment to guitars doesn't stop there - we stock an outrageous selection of guitar related accessories. Picks, strings, capos. slides, parts, pickups, cases, gig bags, cables, tuners, metronomes, straps, stands, instructional books and videos- if you want it, we've got it. To complete the package, most Sam Ash stores feature an in-house repair department!
