Martin Custom Shop 000-14F 'Clapton Navy Blues' Inspired Acoustic guitar, Indian Rosewood & High Altitude Swiss Spruce - Pre-Owned
Why not spread the cost?
This sensational instrument is a specially ordered 000-14F in Navy Blue from Martin's Custom Shop division, and was spec'd in homage to the limited edition Eric Clapton Navy Blues OM that Martin previously issued.
There are however some key differences that set this instrument apart; aesthetically the guitar differs in having the C.F. Martin logo on the headstock above the intricate inlay work, and in not being a signature model instrument has no artist signature on the fretboard.
From a playing standpoint, in being a 000-14 rather than an OM-14, the scale length is 24.4" rather than 25.4" which gives you a touch less tension in the strings and a loose, open feel in the fretting hand. Perfect for the Clapton fan who doesn't find the same comfort in a longer scale!
