Martin OM-13E John Mayer - Signature character for the Road Series!

With the OM-13E John Mayer, C.F. Martin & Co. brings its long-standing collaboration with John Mayer to the Road Series for the first time. The result combines the OM body shape characteristic of the musician with a solid Engelmann spruce top and solid walnut back and sides. This tonewood combination provides the acoustic foundation for a balanced, clearly defined character with warmth and a rich harmonic spectrum—a voicing that supports both nuanced fingerstyle playing and dynamic songwriting accompaniment.

Solid tonewoods and classic Martin construction

The Engelmann spruce top is paired with scalloped spruce X-bracing. Traditional bracing and a dovetail neck joint draw on Martin's proven construction features, here combined with a modern signature concept. The ebony bridge in 1930 Belly Style, with a glued-in long saddle, underscores this classic approach. A white TUSQ bridge saddle and bridge pins with faux abalone details complete the construction.

Tailored to John Mayer's preferred feel

The selected hardwood neck features Martin's Performing Artist profile and a standard taper. Combined with the long 25.4" scale and 1 11/16" nut width, it offers a familiar, direct playing feel based on the specifications preferred by John Mayer. The ebony fingerboard features a custom John Mayer signature inlay in faux mother-of-pearl, giving the instrument a distinctive signature character while staying true to traditional Martin aesthetics.

Distinctive details with a historical connection

Herringbone details, traditionally styled binding, a faux abalone rosette with multiple rings, and a faux tortoiseshell pickguard combine traditional design elements with the individual styling of this signature model. Open-gear nickel tuners and the old-style script logo also draw on historical Martin details. The OM-13E is therefore not simply a variation on an existing Road Series model, but a distinctive John Mayer Signature Artist Edition in its own right.

For the stage, songwriting, and recording

For amplified use, the guitar is equipped with Martin E-1 electronics. This lets you use the instrument's acoustic character on stage and in recording environments. For musicians seeking a Martin with solid tonewoods, a long scale, and a strong signature identity, the OM-13E John Mayer combines classic construction concepts with a contemporary acoustic-electric design. A matching gray softshell case is included to protect the instrument during transport and storage.
