Eric Clapton’s 1939 Martin 000-42 from the MTV Unplugged show.

In January 1992 Eric Clapton performed an acoustic set in front of a small audience which was recorded for MTV Unplugged. The resulting album was awarded six Grammy’s and has sold 26 million copies.

Eric chose to play his 1939 Martin 000-42, serial number 73234 on several songs during that famous session, including a slow version of Layla which brought smaller acoustic guitars into the spotlight. 

This is one of 113 pre–World War II Martin 000-42 short-scale guitars with a 14-fret neck which was designed with a shorter body for players to easily access all the frets.

Achieving $791,500 at auction in 2004, it is the highest price ever paid for an acoustic guitar.

The illustration on this card was hand drawn by George Morgan and is not a photograph.
