The Martin OMJM John Mayer Acoustic-Electric Guitar is made from Englemann Spruce, Indian Rosewood, Cedar, and African Ebony. It's a small-bodied guitar that sounds very rich and complex thanks to expert design and the top-notch tonewoods selection. This model has become a shop favorite for finger pickers and flat pickers alike!
The John Mayer OMJM is a signature guitar that any player can appreciate. It's a perfectly appointed guitar. The Englemann Spruce top makes this a finger picker's dream. It sounds rich, warm, and complex even when picked lightly. With a pick, the guitar brightens up and offers a bit more articulation and volume. The top-end opens up when strummed hard and the guitar starts to cut right thru. The Indian Rosewood Back and Sides give the guitar a classic sound: scooped mids with accentuated Bass and Treble with a lot of top-end sparkle and low-end warmth. The OM-sized body helps the guitar respond fast to dynamics. Play it hard or soft, the guitar sounds great no matter what you throw at it. This would make a great acoustic to use for lead purposes as it plays incredibly well and the notes seem to jump right out of it.
The neck is made of Cedar, a very resonant tonewood. Martin has made a couple of other models over the years with Cedar necks and they were quite remarkable. The Cedar seems to vibrate like a tuning fork with a sense of warmth and depth to it. The neck is topped with a gorgeous piece of black African Ebony, a dark and dense tonewood used for high-end guitars from practically every manufacturer. The bridge of the guitar is also made from this same tonewood. The nut width is 1 and 11/16" so it has a slim feel to it compared to some other Martin's. The Low Profile Neck Shape is easy on the hands from the nut to heel. A Bone Nut and 25.4" Scale length are also present.
