Martin OM-13E John Mayer: acoustic signature guitar with Engelmann spruce

John Mayer's preference for a refined acoustic sound finds a place in the Road Series with the Martin OM-13E John Mayer. This Signature Artist Edition is inspired by his OMJM and combines a solid Engelmann spruce top with solid black walnut for the back and sides. The Engelmann top is a special addition to this series. The Aging Toner gives the guitar a classic look, while herringbone purfling and antique white binding stylishly frame the design. An instrument for enthusiasts who appreciate both the details and the musical character.

The combination of Engelmann spruce and black walnut delivers a responsive, balanced tone with warmth and clarity. In fingerstyle, individual notes have room to breathe, while chords sound rich and cohesive. That makes this acoustic guitar attractive for songwriting, accompaniment, and melodic playing. The long 25.4-inch scale length and the Performing Artist neck profile align with Mayer's favorite specifications. The satin neck finish provides a pleasant contrast with the high-gloss body, for a playing feel that invites you to play longer.

The 000 14-Fret body has scalloped X-bracing and a neck made of select hardwood. The ebony fretboard features 20 frets and a custom inlay with John Mayer's signature. The top nut width is 1 11/16 inches. Nickel open-gear tuners, an ebony bridge, and a white TUSQ nut complete the build. For amplified use, Martin E1 electronics are included, so you can also use the guitar for live performances. The faux tortoise pickguard matches the warm color of the top beautifully.

With its recognizable signature details and fully solid wood construction, the OM-13E offers an interesting combination of appearance, playing comfort, and acoustic expression. A softshell case is included to transport and store the guitar. Visit our store or call us for more information about the Martin OM-13E John Mayer.
