Having spent some time with an Eric Clapton signature model - the 000 28 EC - recently, I've been keen to explore more artist models by The Martin Guitar Company. I was very happy to hear that my friends at The Guitar Showroom had just taken in an OMJM, one of John Mayer's signature models for the uninitiated. This would give me a chance to compare the two!
To the untrained eye these instruments are pretty much identical: we have rosewood back and sides, spruce soundboards and mahogany necks that join the body at the 14th fret. But there has to be more to it than that right? In this video I take a look at what gives these two very similar looking guitars such distinct personalities.
If you enjoyed this video please do drop me a super like
Until next time, stay tuned
