Description
In light of his ever-expanding reputation and fan base, Martin collaborated with John Mayer on the creation of a second namesake guitar, one with many of the same attributes as his first OM-28JM Limited Edition, but one that would be more affordable and more widely available in the tradition of the popular Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton model. This tasteful Orchestra Model exhibits versatility for today's diverse contemporary musical styles.
Cosmetic Condition: Excellent condition overall & very clean with some mild surface scratches; a few tiny dents & dings. The body binding had shrunk a bit & had to be professionally reglued, hence the gap just below the neck heel, but other than that the guitar is great!
Neck: Low profile select hardwood neck with white side-dots. Ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl diamond & dots inlays. John Mayer signature in the 20th fret. Frets are in great shape with hardly any wear. Rosewood headstock overlay with diamond volute. Nickel, open-gear Butterbean tuners. 1 11/16" width bone nut; 25.4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: 000-14 fret size body with bound top & back. Solid Engelmann spruce top finished in Antique Toner with herringbone purfling. Toroise pickguard & abalone rosette. Ebony bridge with compensated saddle. Cream end pins with abalone dot inlays. Solid East Indian rosewood back & sides with zig zag center strip. Guitar weighs 4 lbs 9.7 oz.
