Clapton-Signed Martin Bellezza Bianca

Signed and Designed by Eric Clapton and famed Japanese music and fashion trendsetter, Hiroshi Fujiwara

Stunning details, including slotted diamond rosette and Fishman Ellipse electronics

Luxurious and elegant all-white case included

Eric Clapton's technique and sound practically re-defined the art of acoustic guitar playing with the release of his seminal album - "Unplugged".

Guitar Center, in association with Martin Guitars, is delighted to announce the launch of the limited edition Martin Bellezza Bianca ("White Beauty"), designed by Eric Clapton in collaboration with famed Japanese music and fashion trendsetter, Hiroshi Fujiwara. Each guitar is signed by Eric Clapton, C. F. Martin IV, Hiroshi Fujiwara and Dick Boak, Martin's Director of Artist Relations, making this a truly historic instrument.

This gorgeous 000 size acoustic features a book-matched spruce top with polished gloss white finish, and maple back and sides. Stunning details include a slotted diamond rosette, herringbone purfling, silver-plated mini tuners, and silver-plated buttons. A polished black African ebony head plate with the same abalone pearl inlay, used on one of the earliest Martin 00-45S in 1902, completes the guitar design. Even the luxurious, all white case is unique to this guitar.

Fishman Ellipse electronics, (which are removable), preserve its heirloom character while providing modern versatility - and is a Guitar Center exclusive.
