Martin OMJM John Mayer Signature Edition Acoustic Electric Guitar - Natural

6-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Spruce Top, East Indian Back and Sides, and Ebony Fingerboard—Natural Back in 2002, John Mayer exploded onto the music scene with hits like "No Such Thing," and the following year, Martin introduced the OM-28JM John Mayer Signature Edition. Not surprisingly, even people who had never heard of John Mayer wanted to own this guitar, and the limited edition of 404 instruments sold out completely. Mayer's Heavier Things album in late 2003 resulted in two more hit singles, one of which won a Grammy for Song of the Year, and Mayer walked off with Best Male Pop Vocal of the Year honors. In 2005, he created the John Mayer Trio, playing electric blues in a series of memorable sold-out shows. With an expanding reputation and loyal fan base, the number of OM-28JM John Mayer Signature Edition guitars produced began to look awfully small. So, C. F. Martin & Co. asked John Mayer if he would create a second namesake guitar, one with many of the same attributes as his first but which would be more affordable and more widely available. The end result? The OMJM John Mayer Special Edition. At Sadek Music  The Martin OMJM John Mayer Special Edition is the second signature model created in collaboration with Grammy-winning artist John Mayer. Designed to be more affordable and widely available than the original OM-28JM Limited Edition, the OMJM delivers the same exceptional craftsmanship, balanced tone, and signature aesthetics, making it a must-have for both Mayer fans and serious musicians. Spruce top with vintage toner and lacquer finish Sadek Music, This stunning guitar is the perfect addition to your collection or an inspiring tool to help you elevate your musical journey. Like its predecessor, the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition features a top of solid spruce with specially designed "hybrid" bracing that enhances the rich, full sound. Body appointments are also similar, with a Style 45 rosette featuring a center ring of colorful paua (abalone) shell, bold herringbone around the top, grained ivoroid binding throughout, and a traditional OM teardrop polished and beveled tortoiseshell pickguard. To enhance the beauty of the wood, a specially formulated vintage "aging" toner is applied, and then the polished nitrocellulose gloss lacquer completes the picture. East Indian rosewood back and sides for warm, rich tone There was never a question about which tonewoods to use for the OMJM John Mayer Signature Edition back and sides. East Indian rosewood is world-renowned for its warm, rich tone. It has a wonderful harmonic structure that produces incredibly smooth overtones when combined with the spruce top and hybrid bracing. Black and white purfling surrounds the back, and there's an HD-style "zigzag" center strip. Other features include a black African ebony bridge with a compensated TUSQ saddle, Style 45 white bridge pins inlaid with abalone, and that jewel-like nitrocellulose gloss lacquer finish. Spanish cedar neck with African ebony fingerboard The OMJM John Mayer Signature Edition's Spanish cedar neck with diamond volute is carved specifically with playing comfort in mind, combining 1-11/16" width and a low-profile shape for easy fretting. The East Indian rosewood headplate sports Martin's Old Style decal in silver rather than the familiar gold and nickel Gotoh open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs. The black African ebony fingerboard highlights 1/8" mother-of-pearl position markers and John Mayer's signature inlaid in pearl between the 19th and 20th frets.
