The First Guitar
The First Guitar I shall point out is the OM-28 John Mayer Signature Limited Edition.
This Guitar was made by Martin & Co. and was exclusively designed by John Mayer himself. It was released on 13.07.2003, 2 months before the album "Heavier Things" was released (09.09).
What makes this Martin & Co. Guitar so special is that John Mayer himself is a loyal fan of Martin guitars. For much of his career, Mayer has depended on Martin guitars both on stage and in the studio. His personal arsenal includes an OM-42, a 000-28EC, an HD-35 and an OM-28V.
Based on Martin’s classic OM design, with the long 25.4-inch scale, 000 body size and 1/4" scalloped bracing for powerful, balanced tone, the OM-28 John Mayer Signature Model showcases a mix of unusual elements.
The African black ebony fingerboard is embellished with the "Triangle and Dots" international pilots’ symbol for 1200 hours (high noon), replicated from Mayer’s wristwatch, in colorful abalone pearl and mother-of-pearl at the 12th fret and at the 20th fret by his signature in mother-of-pearl.
Why do I want to make this the first of my collection? Simply because I am a fan of John Mayer. The guitar itself is of enchanting quality because the guitars (despite the expensive price) have been sold out completely!!
