This is the first Clapton signature in this line, making his classic 000 aesthetic and feel more attainable than ever. From the antique toner top to the elegant fingerboard inlays, it captures the spirit of Martin’s long-standing partnership with one of the most influential acoustic players of all time. Comfortable 000 Body and Short Scale Feel The 000 14-fret body size offers a comfortable, compact feel that sits perfectly whether you are on stage or on the sofa. Its short 24.9 inch scale length reduces string tension slightly, making bends easier and long sessions less fatiguing.

Whether you are playing intricate chord voicings, melodic leads or laid-back blues, the guitar responds with clarity and musicality.
