Lot Essay

The relationship between C.F. Martin and Company and Eric Clapton extends back to 1995 with the introduction of Martin's OOO-42EC. This was the first Signature Edition guitar to follow on the heels of the Gene Autry D-45. Since that date Clapton and Martin have collaborated on no fewer then 7 different signature guitar models. The most enduring of these is the OOO-28EC. Built to Clapton's exacting specifications these guitars have been in production since 1996. Inscribed on the label #1, this is the first guitar of the edition.
