The Most Important Guitar Of The 1990s?

In the 1990s something wonderful happened that led directly to a resurgence of interest in acoustic music and the acoustic guitar in particular. MTV Unplugged!

Perhaps the most important of these “acoustic” concerts was performed by Eric Clapton and his band in 1992 at Bray studios - the resulting album would sell over 26 million copies worldwide and become Eric Clapton’s most successful record.

Clapton performed much of this concert on a 1939 Martin 000 42 which became the impetus for a long standing signature model - first a limited number 000 42 and then a standard issue 000 28.

In terms of longevity and popularity the Martin 000 28 EC model could very well be the most important guitar model of the 1990s.
