Martin OMJM John Mayer Acoustic-Electric Guitar Natural

Luxurious touches and tone that's second to none.




Back in 2002, John Mayer burst onto the national
music scene with hits like "No Such Thing" and "Your Body is a
Wonderland." The following year, when Martin introduced the OM-28JM John
Mayer Signature Edition, people who had heard of John Mayer—and even
those who hadn't—were enchanted by the guitar. Its quick neck,
ultra-responsive Engelmann spruce top, silver-color line inlays and
accents at the bridge and headstock, and unique fingerboard inlay proved
as popular as the musician who designed it. The sizeable edition of 404
instruments sold out completely.


The release of Mayer's "Heavier
Things" album in late 2003 resulted in two more hit singles, "Bigger
than My Body" and "Daughters," the second of which won Grammys for "Song
of the Year" and "Best Male Pop Vocal of the Year." Touring in 2004
took him to Australia, Europe, Canada and across the United States and
included a memorable performance at the Crossroads Guitar Festival.


In
2005 he joined forces with bassist Pino Palladino and drummer Steve
Jordan to create the John Mayer Trio, playing electric blues in a series
of sold-out shows: the two-night stand at the House of Blues in Chicago
was recorded for "The John Mayer Trio Live in Concert," an album
released in November. He also took time out to perform at benefit
concerts for Hurricane Katrina relief in Atlanta and New York.


In
light of John Mayer 's expanding reputation and 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 one that would be more affordable and more widely
available in the tradition of the wildly popular Martin 000-28EC Eric
Clapton. He would and he did: The OMJM John Mayer Special Edition.


Like
its predecessor, the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition features a top of
Engelmann spruce and back and sides of East Indian rosewood for warm,
rich tone. Scalloped "Hybrid" bracing enhances the full timbre of this
tonewood combination. Body appointments are also similar, with a Style
45 rosette featuring a center ring of colorful paua shell, bold
herringbone around the top, black/white back purfling around the back,
grained ivoroid binding throughout, an HD Style zigzag back strip, and a
traditional OM teardrop polished and beveled tortoise pickguard.


The
Spanish cedar neck with diamond volute is carved with playing comfort
in mind, combining 1-11/16" width and low profile shape for easy
fretting. The East Indian rosewood headplate sports Martin's Old Style
decal in silver rather than the familiar gold (another nod to the
OM-28JM John Mayer Signature Edition) and nickel Gotoh open-geared
tuners with butterbean knobs. The black African ebony fingerboard
highlights 1/8" mother of pearl position markers at the 5th, 7th (two),
9th, 15th and 17th frets, a unique 12th fret position marker of two dots
flanking a slotted square, and John Mayer's signature inlaid in mother
of pearl between the 19th and 20th frets.


Style 45 white bridge
pins and endpin are inlaid with abalone dots. The black African ebony
bridge is fitted with a compensated TUSQ saddle, which combines with the
factory-installed Martin Gold Plus Natural electronics for accurate,
natural amplified sound. Adding to the beauty of this instrument is the
flawless finish; vintage toner on the top, polished gloss nitrocellulose
lacquer on the body and polished gloss on the headplate.


To
provide a touch of his personal style to the OMJM John Mayer Special
Edition guitar, John Mayer has created a unique art deco-inspired
monogram, which is embroidered on the special vintage Geib style
hardshell case. Each guitar in this open series bears an interior label
imprinted with the signatures of John Mayer and Martin Chairman C. F.
Martin IV, and individually numbered in sequence.


The Thinline®
Series Gold+Plus systems include an active endpin-mounted buffered
preamp to achieve the most accurate and acoustic tone. The Gold+Plus
Natural captures and amplifies the natural voice of instruments with
well-balanced, evenly voiced top to bottom response.
