The Martin OMJM John Mayer 20th Anniversary in detail
About John Mayer
John Mayer initially attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston , but left in the second semester. At Berklee he wanted to develop further as a guitarist, but he increasingly concentrated on songwriting . Instead of continuing to study, he went to Atlanta with a friend from college in the summer of 1998 to pursue a career in music. After several festival appearances, he released his debut album Room for Squares in 2001. The album spawned numerous radio hits in the US, including No Such Thing, Your Body Is a Wonderland and Why Georgia . In 2003, John Mayer won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Your Body Is a Wonderland . His first four albums all achieved platinum status, and the three subsequent albums , Born and Raised, Paradise Valley and The Search for Everything, were at least gold.
John Mayer, who is considered a passionate guitar lover and collector, now owns around 200 guitars. In addition to the Martin OMJM in various versions and the now discontinued Fender "The Black One" Stratocaster, the PRS Silver Sky is probably his most famous signature model.
A gift for an anniversary
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of John Mayer's popular OM-28JM model , Martin has once again collaborated with John Mayer to offer this tasteful anniversary orchestra model. It offers the same versatility for the different contemporary music styles and includes a unique label with John Mayer's signature . The construction of this very special signature model is limited to the calendar year 2023 .
The construction / acoustic and choice of wood of the OMJM John Mayer 20th Anniversary corresponds to that of the already well-known and popular Martin OMJM: The guitar consists of a top of Engelmann spruce with bottom and sides made of Indian Rosewood. As usual, the neck is made of high-quality mahogany with an ebony fingerboard with mother-of- Pearl custom inlays. The most noticeable differences are the Platinum Gray Burst high gloss finish and the Mother of Pearl soundhole rosette .

The company CF Martin & Co., or Martin Guitars for short, can look back on a long company tradition and some innovative inventions. This primarily includes the development of the dreadnought form and thus the western guitar as we know it today. The family business, with its history spanning over 175 years, has shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that Martin made standard in guitar construction include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This allows the top to be more stable and max. weight capacity thanks to glued strips on the inside of the carcass ceiling. To this day , Martin guitars are famous for their high quality and of course their sound and are very popular among guitarists. You can find a large selection ready to play in our shop or in our branches. In our Martin premium western guitar section you will also find a selection of the highest quality western guitar models from all Martin series.
The name of the US company Martin Guitars, actually CF Martin & Co., Inc., has stood for the highest quality and innovations in the construction of stringed instruments since 1833. When everyone thinks of Martin , everyone immediately thinks of the western guitar, as the company founder and German emigrant Christian Friedrich Martin helped the instruments take on the form that we still know and appreciate today. The company's inventions include special bracing (X-bracing), the neck transition at the 14th fret and popular body shapes such as the dreadnought guitar.
In addition to the classics such as the D, OM, J, 000 models, our range also includes custom shop models - as well as signature models from renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Eric Clapton or John Mayer. We also have the popular Martin Backpacker Steel and the Little Martin in our range.
