So much so that it looks perfectly at home amongst our stock of Brand New Guitars. This guitar was treated extremely well by its original owner.  It is clean, cosmetically, and is fully functioning. The neck is straight, the frets are still crowned, and the truss rod is functioning properly. Included with this beautiful limited edition Martin Acoustic Guitar is its original hardshell case. This Limited Edition Martin Acoustic Guitar is labeled #213 of 250. From 2008, this short-lived 000-42m has some cool touches, especially when it comes to the tonewoods!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the original 000-42EC Eric Clapton Signature Edition Guitar 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.

Select abalone pearl inlays in the Style 45 rosette, and around the top and fingerboard extension, are highlighted by black and white fine line wood fiber borders. The Madagascar rosewood headplate on the square, tapered headstock provides the canvas for the rare Alternative Torch inlay, which originated on one of four Martin 1902 00-45 instruments and has been offered on only a handful of Signature Editions. 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 at the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 17th frets, with Eric Clapton's signature inlaid in mother-of-pearl between the 19th and 20th frets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 000-42M Eric Clapton Limited Edition is fully bound in grained ivoroid; black and white fine line inlays accent the head plate and mitered fingerboard binding, while black and white fine line purfling enhances the back and side binding. A Style 45 multi-colored mosaic inlay strip bisects the back. The headstock is fitted with Waverly„¢ nickel open geared tuning machines with white ivoroid butterbean knobs. Style 45 bone bridge pins topped with abalone pearl dot inlays on the ebony belly bridge are matched by an abalone pearl-inlaid bone endpin. Both the nut and compensated saddle are crafted from genuine bone for exceptional sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe polished and beveled acetate\/nitrate vintage-style tortoise pickguard is particularly striking against the guitar's two available top hues: the deep amber vintage toner offered standard and the optional 1937 Style Sunburst, available for an extra charge. Martin's immaculate polished gloss finish on the body, neck, and head plate enables the rich colors of the 000-42M guitar's tonewoods and inlays to shine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Eric Clapton received his personal 000-42M Limited Edition guitar ” a Sunburst ” he responded with an email that simply said: \". . . absolutely beautiful!\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach Martin 000-42M Acoustic Guitar bears an interior label personally signed by Eric Clapton and individually numbered in sequence with the edition total.
