Eric Clapton's contributions to music span decades, genres, and generations. From his early days with The Yardbirds and John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers to his legendary work with Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominos, and his expansive solo career, Eric has consistently shaped the sound of rock and blues. Known for his impeccable guitar tone, soulful playing, and emotive songwriting, he has earned 18 GRAMMY Awards® and remains the only artist inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times—once as a solo artist and twice as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream.

His 1992 MTV Unplugged performance was a defining moment in his career, stripping his music down to its acoustic core and showcasing the raw emotion behind songs like “Tears in Heaven” and “Layla.” This performance not only reinvigorated his career but also sparked a resurgence in acoustic music and inspired a new generation of players. His long-standing partnership with Martin has produced some of the most sought-after signature models in the company's history, celebrating his sound and artistry through instruments that continue to captivate musicians worldwide.
