Our take

Who this one is for

The OMC-13E John Mayer is the cutaway version of the first John Mayer signature model in Martin's Road Series, built in Mexico on the 000 14-fret body. The top is solid Engelmann spruce in Aging Toner over solid black walnut back and sides, gloss all over, with multi-stripe purfling around the top, antique white binding, a faux abalone rosette and an ebony fingerboard carrying a custom inlay with Mayer's signature. Martin E1 electronics are built in, and the frets are Plek-dressed at the factory.

Martin built it to the specs Mayer prefers: a 25.4" scale and a 1 11/16" nut, where the 000-13E Retro Walnut, in the same woods, runs 24.9" and 1 3/4". The longer scale puts a little more tension on the strings and tightens the low end under a pick, and the narrower nut makes first-position chord shapes a smaller reach. The neck is Martin's Performing Artist shape with a Standard Taper.

The cutaway opens the frets above the 12th, so this is the one for a player who takes lead lines up the neck or plays it plugged in on stage. For the same guitar without a cutaway and with bold herringbone on the top, look at the OM-13E John Mayer, and for Mayer's Nazareth-built signature in East Indian rosewood, the OMJM John Mayer. It is available left-handed as well.

Pre-orders

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are paying in full. Pick Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout in Canada or the US, or PayPlan by RBC in Canada. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
