As announced here on whereseric.com in December, Eric Clapton has again partnered with C.F. Martin & Company to develop a new signature edition, the 000-42MEC. In development for the last year, it debuted at the annual NAMM Show 17-20 January in Anaheim, California. The edition is limited to no more than 250 guitars.
The 000-42MEC's top is Carpathian spruce with the back and sides being of Madagascar rosewood. Each 000-42MEC has an interior label personally signed by Eric Clapton. It is available in either a natural top finish or with the option of a 1937-style sunburst top finish. Images of the guitar (courtesy of C.F. Martin & Company) are now available.
