Martin Guitar Brings John Mayer Signature Models to the Road Series

C. F. Martin & Co. is expanding its longstanding partnership with seven-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist John Mayer with the introduction of two new acoustic-electric guitars: the OM-13E John Mayer and OMC-13E John Mayer. Joining Martin's popular Road Series, these new Signature Artist Editions bring Mayer's preferred specifications, distinctive design details, and signature acoustic style to a more accessible price point, allowing more players to experience a John Mayer signature Martin.

The new OM-13E John Mayer & OMC-13E John Mayer make more than 20 years of signature sound, style & collaboration accessible to more players.

The launch marks a new chapter in a partnership that began in 2003 with the limited-edition OM-28 John Mayer, the artist's first signature Martin. Since then, the collaboration has grown to include a variety of celebrated models, including the popular OMJM John Mayer, which remains in Martin's lineup today. More than 20 years later, these new Road Series additions build on that legacy while making the signature John Mayer experience available to a broader audience.

Premium Tonewoods and Mayer-Inspired Details

Both models feature a solid Engelmann spruce top with aging toner, an exciting addition to the Road Series that delivers a warm, responsive voice with exceptional nuance and clarity. Solid black walnut back and sides provide balanced tone, rich midrange character, and a distinctive natural appearance, while scalloped spruce X-bracing enhances resonance and projection.

Inspired by Mayer's longstanding preferences, both guitars feature a 25.4-inch scale length, narrower 1 11/16-inch nut width, and Performing Artist neck profile with standard taper for smooth, comfortable playability. Premium appointments include a gloss body, ebony fingerboard and bridge, antique white binding, faux abalone rosette reminiscent of the OMJM, nickel open gear tuners, and custom faux mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays incorporating John's signature. Each guitar also features an interior label with his pre-printed signature.

Martin E1 electronics with a built-in tuner make both models performance-ready, and each includes a softshell case.

Two Distinct Takes on a Signature OM

The OM-13E John Mayer offers the traditional, non-cutaway Orchestra Model body, delivering balanced projection and versatility for fingerpicking, strumming, and songwriting. Bold herringbone top trim adds a classic Martin aesthetic.

The OMC-13E John Mayer features a comfortable 14-fret cutaway body for easier access to the higher frets, offering additional versatility for lead playing and performance. Multi-stripe top trim distinguishes it from its non-cutaway counterpart.

Together, these two models expand Martin's Road Series with new artist-inspired OM options, combining premium solid tonewoods, performance-ready features, and unmistakable John Mayer style at an approachable price point.
