John Mayer is not only an outstanding singer and songwriter, but also a skilled guitarist, equally comfortable on a Strat as on an old Martin. This model is the result of his collaboration with the Nazareth brand.
Back to basics.
In 2003, while presenting his new album of Hendrix-inspired pop-rock "Heavier Things," John Mayer fell in love with the sobriety of Martin guitars. Like any good songwriter worth his salt, he is capable of giving intensity to a song without electric embellishments, as he would prove in 2012 with the acoustic album "Born And Raised." In the meantime, the collaboration between Mayer and Martin became fruitful, with no less than three limited editions from the Custom Shop. And it all started in 2003 with the OMJM.
A modernized Clapton.
You can feel Clapton's influence in Mayer's choices, since at first glance the OMJM clearly resembles the 000-28EC. It features the same OM shape, the same Sitka spruce top with a beautiful honey tint, the stunning Indian rosewood body, and even the open tuners with butterbean buttons. But what sets them apart matters: the neck profile is much flatter and more modern, the rosette decoration is richer, and the OMJM is an electro-acoustic, equipped with a Fishman Gold Plus Natural 1 preamp.
The Mayer of Martin.
In other words, John Mayer took the excellent foundation established by Clapton and changed what most often posed problems for 000-28EC owners, namely the thick neck and the inability to play it on stage without installing a pickup and preamp. Otherwise, the OMJM remains a guitar perfectly suited to acoustic blues as well as pop, folk, or any other style where the guitar must support the voice with breadth and generosity. The OMJM combines both.
