Edit description

The Martin Eric Clapton ECHF Bellezza Nera is a distinctive addition to any musician's collection, designed in collaboration with legendary guitarist Eric Clapton. This limited edition steel-string acoustic guitar delivers a rich, full-bodied sound that is both powerful and nuanced, making it ideal for both studio recordings and live performances. Crafted with precision and care, the Bellezza Nera features a solid Italian alpine spruce top that contributes to its vibrant tonal clarity, while the East Indian rosewood back and sides provide a warm, mellow resonance.

The fingerboard and bridge are made from select ebony, enhancing the guitar's playability and aesthetic appeal. The neck, fashioned from genuine mahogany, offers a comfortable grip for effortless chord transitions and intricate fingerpicking. With a scalloped X-bracing pattern, this guitar achieves an exceptional balance of strength and resonance, allowing for a dynamic range of expression.

This model's luxurious appointments, including a fine herringbone rosette and a distinctive inlay design, make it as visually captivating as it is sonically impressive. The Bellezza Nera is an embodiment of Martin's commitment to craftsmanship and Clapton's pursuit of perfect sound, making it a truly exceptional instrument for discerning guitarists.

C. F. Martin 000-ECHF Bellezza Nera (Eric Clapton)

C. F. Martin 000-ECHF Bellezza Nera was developed jointly by Eric Clapton and a Japanese trendsetter Hiroshi Fujiwara. At Eric Clapton's suggestion, the model is named in Italian - "Bellezza" meaning beautiful and "Nera" meaning black.

This Limited Edition guitar has black body, neck and headplate, and matching African black ebony fingerboard and bridge, and the specially made sterling silver-plated Schaller tuners with sterling silver-plated buttons. The fingerboard features Martin's Style 45 snowflake inlays, with "Bellezza Nera" inlaid in script above the last fret in mother of pearl. This guitar comes without a pickguard.

The body top is Italian alpine spruce, the back and sides are crafted from East Indian rosewood. Carved from solid mahogany, the neck features Martin's diamond volute at the base of the headstock.

Bellezza Nera includes a special black interior label personally signed by Eric Clapton, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Martin Artist Relations head Dick Boak and Martin Chairman C.F. Martin IV.
