The Martin 00-42 SC John Mayer is one of the most sought-after signature models of recent years and exemplifies the close collaboration between C.F. Martin & Co. and the US singer\/songwriter John Mayer. This Custom Signature Edition combines the traditional 00-12 Fret construction with high-quality tonewoods and selected Style 42 elements that meet the highest demands both visually and sonically. <\/p>\n
This example was purchased from a music store in 2013. A Fishman\/Martin Gold Plus pickup was also professionally installed there, deliberately without volume and tone controls. Since then, the guitar has only been played occasionally and has always been treated with care. There are slight signs of use, but overall the instrument is in very good condition. The frets show no signs of wear. <\/p>\n
The combination of a solid AAA Sitka spruce top and the characterful Cocobolo body ensures an exceptionally dynamic sound with clear trebles, warm basses and a present, assertive middle. The shortened scale length of 632 mm conveys a soft, pleasant playing feel, while the generous nut width of 47.6 mm offers plenty of room for fingerstyle playing. <\/p>\n
The current string action is 3.0 mm on the low E-string and 2.0 mm on the high E-string at the 12th fret. This means that the Martin 00-42 SC John Mayer plays comfortably across the entire fretboard and is suitable for both expressive fingerstyle playing and dynamic strumming. In terms of sound, it impresses with transparency, depth and a very balanced tone, which has made this model one of the most sought-after modern Martin signatures. <\/p>\n
