Martin M-7 Johnny Marr

Overview

The Martin M-7 Johnny Marr expands on the M platform with a unique seven-string configuration, adding an octave G string for enhanced shimmer and layered harmonic content. Built in collaboration with Johnny Marr, it combines traditional Martin craftsmanship with a design aimed at capturing his signature jangle and chordal complexity.

Constructed with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a spruce top with antique toner, it delivers deep bass, rich overtones, and clear articulation. The M (0000) body size provides a balanced feel between a 000 and a jumbo, offering both comfort and projection. A full-thickness mahogany neck with a standard taper supports fluid transitions and complex voicings, while LR Baggs Anthem electronics make it equally at home on stage or in the studio.
