C. F. Martin & Co. has introduced two acoustic-electric guitars to its Road Series: the OM-13E John Mayer and OMC-13E John Mayer, both priced at $1,999.99 USD. According to Premier Guitar, the Signature Artist Editions bring Mayer’s preferred specifications to a more accessible price point within the manufacturer’s lineup.
The publication reports that both models feature solid Engelmann spruce tops with aging toner, solid black walnut back and sides, and scalloped spruce X-bracing. Each guitar carries a 25.4-inch scale length, a 1 11/16-inch nut width, and a Performing Artist neck profile. Appointments include gloss bodies, ebony fingerboards and bridges, nickel open gear tuners, and custom fingerboard inlays bearing Mayer’s signature.
Premier Guitar notes that the OM-13E John Mayer is a non-cutaway Orchestra Model with herringbone top trim, while the OMC-13E John Mayer adds a 14-fret cutaway with multi-stripe top trim. Both ship with Martin E1 electronics featuring a built-in tuner and a softshell case.
The guitars are available through authorized Martin dealers and martinguitar.com. The partnership between Martin and Mayer dates to 2003, when the limited-edition OM-28 John Mayer launched as the artist’s first signature Martin model.
