A Gravity-defying 20th-anniversary John Mayer Martin
It was 2003 when John Mayer’s first signature Martin acoustic hit the market. Now, 20 years later, Martin has reconvened with the Grammy winner to up the ante on the original OM-28JM in a big way with the OM-45 John Mayer Platinum-anniversary acoustic guitar! This stunning triumph of craftsmanship boasts a crystalline Engelmann spruce top, luxurious Guatemalan rosewood back and sides, and a lavish ebony fingerboard. Scalloped X-bracing provides supple projection and sustain as you strum lavish chordal passages. Meanwhile, the mahogany neck was crafted to John’s exacting specifications, ensuring maximum comfort when you’re finding the unplugged groove with percussive flair. Made with top-shelf tonewoods, high-quality hardware, and undeniable panache, the OM-45 John Mayer Platinum-anniversary acoustic guitar serves as an enduring testament to John Mayer and his signature acoustic style.
Top-shelf tonewoods impart a wonderland of sound
Step up to boldly impeccable Martin craftsmanship with the OM-45 John Mayer Platinum-anniversary guitar. It’s not hyperbole to say that every Martin acoustic guitar has that patented Martin spark, but the OM-45 John Mayer takes it to new heights. Martin spared no expense in choosing the perfect tonewoods. Its Engelmann spruce top richly rings with responsive and articulate tones, boldly projecting the voice of its Guatemalan rosewood body. Together, they sing with a delightfully resonant tone that’s assisted to greater heights of volume by its 1/4-inch scalloped X-bracing pattern. Strum a chord, and you’ll be treated to superb tone, long-lasting sustain, and note separation that doesn’t muddy the tonal playing field.
An acoustic only Martin could build
Martin sculpted the mahogany neck to John Mayer’s specifications, with a thinner 1-11/16-inch width at the nut to facilitate smooth action, comfort, and speed. The Loe Profile neck shape was then capped with a silky smooth ebony fingerboard for player comfort and a stunning look. It features a 25.4-inch scale length with 20 frets ready to do your acoustic bidding. Joined to the body with a dovetail neck joint, the mahogany neck contributes enhanced sustain to the overall tone. Other appointments like an ebony bridge, compensated bone saddles, and satin nickel Waverly tuners contribute to exceptional intonation and an enduring style.
A guitar with new light and old soul
John Mayer’s original OM-28J guitar had an aluminum border around the headplate and bridge. Building on that idea, Martin and John decided to give the OM-45 John Mayer acoustic a fine silver border that expands to encompass the fingerboard and ebony pickguard as well. To top it all off, this guitar was bestowed with a unique label that includes a signature from John himself.
