eric clapton hermes custom crocodile guitar case Eric Clapton x Hermès Custom Crocodile Guitar Case

Guitar genius Eric Clapton looked to French fashion house Hermès to create a custom guitar case. The made-to-order case housed Clapton’s signature Martin 00028 EC acoustic guitar with a rich matte-finish croc skin adorning the exterior of the case. The shell of the case is made from poplar wood source from Nazareth, Pennsylvania and is completed with a blue silk velvet liner. Estimates for the case’s cost are tabulated at approximately $100,000 USD on the low end.

    Nazareth is the same place where Martin guitars (Claptons long time guitar maker) are produced. 100,000 may seem pricey, but some of his guitars are definitely worth a whole lot more.
