Whether you're a lifelong fan of The Smiths, a guitarist seeking new sonic horizons, or a collector of fine instruments, this seven-string wonder is destined to be a centerpiece in your musical journey. Designed in close collaboration with Marr, the M-7 introduces a unique octave G string that adds a new dimension to your playing, delivering the jangle and intricacy that define Marr's signature sound.

Seven Strings of Sonic Brilliance
The standout feature of the M-7 is its innovative seven-string configuration, which includes an octave G string.

Whether you're exploring new musical territories or adding depth to your existing repertoire, the M-7 opens up a world of sonic possibilities.

Crafted for Rich, Resonant Tones
The M-7 is built with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, paired with a solid spruce top, to create a guitar that resonates with deep bass and rich overtones. The Grand Auditorium body, wide like a Jumbo but with the slimness of a 000, ensures both comfort and projection. This design provides a clear distinction between treble and bass, making it versatile for both fingerpicking and strumming. The M-7's balanced, efficient sound makes it an ideal choice for any playing style, from delicate melodies to robust rhythms.

Advanced Electronics for Stage and Studio
Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the M-7 ensures that your sound is captured with precision, whether you're on stage or in the studio. The electronics feature controls for volume, mix, mic level, and phase, giving you the flexibility to tailor your sound to any environment. The M-7's electronics faithfully reproduce the guitar's natural tone, allowing you to perform with clarity and confidence, regardless of the setting.

A Homage to Marr's Legacy With Modern Innovations
Johnny Marr's long history with Martin guitars is legendary, and the M-7 pays homage to that legacy while pushing the boundaries of what an acoustic guitar can do. With features like a three-piece back, modern pyramid ebony bridge, and antique toner, this guitar is as visually stunning as it is sonically impressive. Whether you're a seasoned performer or an aspiring artist, the M-7 Johnny Marr Signature Guitar is designed to inspire and elevate your music to new heights. A hardshell case and exclusive Souldier strap are included, making this guitar ready to hit the road or the stage.
