collapse expand iconDescription

The Martin M-6 Johnny Marr Signature Grand Auditorium Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a masterpiece that unites Martin's legendary craftsmanship with the innovative artistry of Johnny Marr. Whether you're a devoted fan of The Smiths, a seeker of new sonic possibilities, or simply a lover of fine guitars, the M-6 is destined to be a cherished addition to your collection. Designed in close collaboration with Marr himself, this guitar embodies his distinctive musical style, offering a unique playing experience that's as inspiring as it is versatile.

Crafted With Marr's Distinctive Style in Mind
The M-6 reflects Johnny Marr's unique approach to music with a genuine mahogany neck featuring a full-thickness profile, standard taper, and slightly thinner width at the nut. This design allows for smooth transitions and complex chord structures, making it ideal for replicating the lush, intricate sounds that Marr is known for. The solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, paired with a solid spruce top, resonate with deep bass and rich overtones, delivering an efficient, balanced sound that's perfect for any musical style.

A Grand Auditorium Body for Expansive Tone
With a body shape that combines the width of a Jumbo with the thickness of a 000, the M-6 offers both comfort and projection. This Grand Auditorium design ensures a precise distinction between treble and bass, making it equally suitable for fingerpicking and strumming. The guitar's expansive tonal palette allows you to explore a wide range of sounds, from delicate, nuanced passages to powerful, resonant chords, giving you the flexibility to express yourself fully.

State-Of-The-Art Electronics for Perfect Amplification
The M-6 is equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, providing superior sound capture whether you're on stage or in the studio. With controls for volume, mix, mic level, and phase, you can easily tailor your sound to suit any environment. This advanced system ensures that the rich, natural tone of the guitar is faithfully reproduced, allowing you to perform with confidence and clarity in any setting.

A Tribute to Marr's Legacy and Beyond
Johnny Marr's history with Martin guitars is legendary, with his 1971 D-28 featuring prominently in many of The Smiths' classic tracks. The M-6 pays homage to this legacy while offering a fresh take on Marr's signature sound. From its stunning three-piece back and modern pyramid ebony bridge to its antique toner and exclusive Souldier™ strap, every detail of this guitar is designed to inspire. Whether you're a seasoned player or an aspiring artist, the M-6 Johnny Marr Signature Guitar is your ticket to a new era of musical exploration.
