Serial Number: 1089251
Year:2005
Unique custom ordered small size Eric Clapton signature guitar 'Belleza Nera' from C.F. Martin & Company for Hiroshi during his collaboration with Eric Clapton and C.F. Martin & Company.
A custom Martin acoustic was used by Eric Clapton during his November and December 2003 Japan Tour. The custom guitar was designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara for his friend, Eric Clapton. Clapton's custom guitar was black with pearl inlays and both men’s initials (EC and HF) inscribed near the bottom of the fretboard. Eight of these guitars were initially manufactured. In July 2004, Martin announced it would offer a limited edition of this guitar to the public beginning in January 2005. The guitars were designated 000-ECHF Bellezza Nera, named by Eric Clapton, meaning "Black Beauty" in Italian. This would be the first of a triple collaboration between the two legends of their fields and Martin & Co.
