Description

We’ve had a blast every time we’ve seen one of Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Signature Martins—they really pull out all the stops. This particular beauty from 2013 is part of the Madagascar Rosewood 45 series, second only to the rare BRW 000-45EC. Madagascar can match Brazilian for glassy definition and resonance, and this set doesn’t disappoint in the least. Adirondack Spruce on top (a nod to the holy grail 000; ditto for hide glue construction), snowflake inlays, and custom Clapton crossroads symbol flanking the saddle on either bridge wing. This one’s in great shape, and currently has a pickup jack installed (the previous pickup was removed), and comes wrapped in the custom Crossroads TKL case.

This is a very special limited edition of the Eric Clapton model featuring stunning 45 style appointments. Only a small number of these were made for sale in the USA, making this a wonderful and collectible guitar that you'll absolutely enjoy playing for years and years, and when you're not playing you'll want to gaze at it.

Excellent note balance and clarity, just a touch of added sparkle on the top end, and stunning 45-style appointments--Martin pulls out all the stops for the Clapton 45 Crossroads.
