A Signature Born from the Martin x John Mayer Collaboration
The Martin OMJM was born from the meeting of John Mayer's songwriting universe and the craftsmanship of Nazareth. The idea is clear: to recapture the sobriety and class of great Martins in the OM/000 format, while modernizing what matters daily. You can sense the inspiration from traditional 000 models, but with a more contemporary approach to the neck, refined aesthetic details, and the addition of integrated electronics for immediate stage use.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
This electro-acoustic folk guitar is aimed at the intermediate to expert musician seeking a premium, expressive, and versatile guitar. Its 000 format excels in acoustic blues, pop, folk, and vocal accompaniment, with enough definition for fingerstyle playing and enough body to support a groove in chords. It is a guitar that rewards nuance: light attack, dynamics, and precise phrasing stand out immediately.
Sound
The Engelmann spruce top provides a quick response and great sensitivity: ideal for subtle playing, with silky highs and very controllable dynamics. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides enrich the spectrum with deep lows, scooped mids, and plenty of harmonics, giving a sense of breadth and sustain. The X bracing (with Sitka spruce top bracing) contributes to projection and note sustain, while the 000 format maintains excellent string-to-string balance, perfect for recording as well as accompanying vocals.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered with a hard case with embroidery, the OMJM is already protected for transport. To stay as close as possible to the original gauge, you can choose Martin SP Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Light SP7100 steel strings (identical set to the factory-installed strings).
