An Iconic Collaboration in the Martin Universe
Born from a collaboration with the legendary Johnny Marr, the M-7 Johnny Marr embodies the Martin spirit: traditional luthiery serving a modern, reliable, and expressive guitar. It aims for a balance between artistic personality and professional demands, featuring refined aesthetics and performance-oriented material choices, both acoustically and amplified.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This guitar is primarily intended for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an electro-acoustic folk guitar capable of delivering full sets without compromise. It is especially suited for fingerstyle playing (detailed arpeggios), nuanced strumming, and folk, indie, pop, and alternative rock repertoires, where clarity in the highs and depth in the lows must remain distinct in the mix.
Sound
The spruce soundboard provides a quick response, beautiful dynamics, and natural clarity, ideal for highlighting attacks and harmonics. The solid wood construction promotes broader resonance, with projection and sustain that grow richer over time. The ebony fingerboard contributes to a precise feel under the fingers and clear articulation, while the bone nuts optimize vibration transmission for a more open sound. When plugged in, the Fishman electronics deliver a clear and balanced output, suitable for direct input and sound reinforcement systems.
