Description

The story of Martin and John Mayer's partnership bloomed in the early 2000s and quickly blossomed into one of the most iconic acoustic partnerships of all time. Universally acclaimed, delivering Mayer's preferred specs to fans and eager players, this OM-13E acoustic-electric guitar introduces the signature collaborative sound to the Road Series, boasting an inspired build that makes the artist's style accessible to even more Martin and Mayer aficionados.

This OM-13E build begins with Engelmann spruce forming the aging toner treated top, resulting in a beautifully hued but still natural appearance. The top is also graced by lavish aesthetic appointments, including a stunning faux abalone multi-stripe rosette and bold herringbone detailing that hugs the no-cutaway frame. Paired with black walnut back and sides, and lined with antique white binding, the combination of woods results in an always resonant, warm, and balanced tonality that further exemplifies the nuanced performance Martin and Mayer strive to achieve.

Connected through a mortise and tenon joint, a Performing Artist profile select hardwood neck provides effortless playability—smooth and intuitive across the entire elongated 25.4" scale length. Affixed to the neck is an ebony fingerboard, sporting faux mother of pearl inlays that include the artist's signature at the twentieth fret. At the headstock, nickel open gear tuners ensure consistent and precise pitches, while an ebony bridge with white TUSQ saddle supports intonation and proper string-to-body vibration transfer.

Rounding out the artist edition build is Martin's powerful electronics system—the E1. Projecting the acoustic's illustrious tone with impressive transparency, the OM-13E will retain all of its character when plugged into any acoustic amp or PA system. Fitted with soundhole mounted controls—volume, tone, and phase switch—along with a built-in tuner for additional convenience, this John Mayer signature has been designed to support artists who share their craft to audiences of any size.

Delivered in a padded Martin gig bag for easy transport to gigs, studio sessions, and practices, the Martin OM-13E John Mayer acoustic-electric guitar is eager to be your next resonant companion.
