Catalogue Note

Eric Clapton donated this 000-28 Martin Acoustic signature model to the Higher Ground benefit auction to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. The guitar was autographed by both Clapton and John Mayer to commemorate their joint-performance on the "How You Can Help" edition of the Larry King Show (CNN) on 3 September 2005. On that occasion they performed Clapton's song "Broken Hearted."
