This Guitar is a beautiful 15yrs. old Eric Clapton Signature model. It has a beautiful and shiny pumpkin patina colored top. No loose braces and all binding is tight with no cracks. Top has no cracks with back and sides clean and also with no cracks.
It had the Fishman Acoustic Matrix Natural 1 taken out for better sound but it’s still in the case if you want it. It has a compensated bone saddle and nut. The neck is straight and action has been set at Martin factory standards. I have brand new Elixir 80/20 Bronze strings and she plays beautiful.
