Description
The Martin M-7 Johnny Marr isn't just a guitar; it's a sonic signature come to life. Designed in collaboration with Johnny Marr-whose jangly, layered textures defined a generation-the M-7 takes everything iconic about his tone and makes it tangible. Whether you're a devoted fan, a seasoned player chasing new textures, or simply someone drawn to guitars with a story, the M-7 is a rare and inspired creation. Rooted in Marr's long love affair with Martin acoustics, including his cherished 1971 D-28, this model pays tribute to a legacy while forging something entirely new.
At the heart of the M-7 is a bold, seven-string configuration featuring an octave G string; it's the secret weapon behind Marr's unmistakable shimmer and chime. A solid spruce top with antique toner and East Indian rosewood back and sides (in a striking three-piece design) deliver a tone that's warm, deep, and beautifully articulate. The Grand Auditorium body offers a balanced blend of comfort and projection; ideal for both fingerstyle intricacies and full-strummed passages. Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the LR Baggs Anthem electronics capture every nuance with pristine clarity.
The M-7's genuine mahogany neck sports a full-thickness profile and standard taper, giving it a substantial, vintage-inspired feel that's incredibly rewarding for expressive, dynamic play. An ebony fingerboard and modern pyramid bridge not only elevate the aesthetic; they add to the guitar's smooth response and rock-solid intonation. Chrome enclosed-gear tuners provide dependable tuning stability, while subtle appointments like the antique toner finish lend a timeless elegance.
This guitar isn't just about sound-it's about identity. Every element, from the octave G string to the exclusive Souldier strap, speaks to Marr's artistic vision and Martin's uncompromising dedication to detail. It's a guitar that feels as personal as it sounds; an instrument that invites you to write your own musical chapters while channeling echoes of Marr's greatest.
At Cream City Music, we're thrilled to offer the Martin M-7 Johnny Marr-an acoustic-electric that's as inventive as it is inspiring. It's not just a guitar; it's an experience, built for those who believe music should shimmer, surprise, and stir something deep. And with a hardshell case and Souldier strap included, it's ready to go wherever your sound takes you.
