[@5CinqSaisons]

I bought one last year. It's a wonderful guitar to play and it truly sounds better and better every day. Just the smell of the wood when you open the case. Truly is part of the experience to me. One of the best guitar have own.

[@coolchamber1]

I just ordered mine, when it arrives I'm going to take my clothes off and light candles before I even look at it!

[@philipdjoshi7525]

Man! You guys must really be very well off.

[@JM-tf4nk]

Philip D Joshi lol I know right

[@pogodancer6875]

Ha Ha

[@apophispnw5717]

Sometimes you are so excited to get a guitar that you don’t wear pants and don’t need a strap to hold it up.

[@wisesanseineedsmeds6472]

Apophis PNW AYOOO NOT LIKE THAT LMAO

[@DopamineOverload]

I concur. But I never thought he was a douchebag. I always thought he had this dry, sarcastic sense of humor that hardly anyone gets. He also knows that he paid his dues. Practiced his butt off, singing AND especially playing/writing... he's still one of my biggest musical influences. Always will be.

[@9gloss]

Although this comment was written 7 years ago I completely agree.

[@akiro1677]

Absolutely agree with this one

[@colemorson3302]

I played this at Guitar Center the other day. Never have I fallen in love with a guitar so fast. Play-ability was outstanding. Unplugged sounds amazing and so does plugged in. I would definitely recommend this one.

[@OwenSchooleyGT]

He's bettered himself over the past two years and he's a much more mature musician and person in general.

[@georgegrewal4844]

Played one today after playing Collings Taylor back to back, they are all awesome and a first problem to have such a choice, but it was the stand out for me !

[@MARTY1967aussie]

Nice playing I have one of these guitars to me its perfect lovely bright warm tones

[@markhamreguitar]

Great review. Excellent playing. Very informative and helpful. Thanks!

[@WBlues-Blues-Musik]

Very good Video! Here you can hear the Sound of the guitar is wonderful. This guitar I'm going to have to have soon. Best Regards.

[@wangchenlepcha0208]

my dream guitar .. i wish i could buy it

[@applause1178]

maybe we can ask the maker's some huge discount

[@applause1178]

that's also my dream guitar, but can't afford it it's too expensive in the Philippines, worth 2 kidneys 1 lung and 4 bags of human blood

[@ezekielrivera5969]

same here. but I'm poorer than a rat

[@samklein9639]

I don't feel a V at all on my OMJM. This guitar is amazing! Well worth the money.

[@ArthasDa]

I really want to know which four songs does he play(except the The last engine train)

[@MrSNIPERALLEN]

Anyone whos a bit nervous about buying this thing, take it from me, ive played it along with a OM28, some vintage martins and some lowdens and gibsons, and the thing is the most comfortable guitar to play on and has the sound to back it up, pickup sounds fantastic too. Well worth the buy, any questions let me know.

[@juancblum6445]

Have you compared to the OM28e retro, which has a super confortable neck? if so what is your opinion. Thanks.

[@MrSNIPERALLEN]

+Juan C Blum I personally saving up another $500 or so to buy the OMJM is worth it. The pick up sounds better in it and the finishes are better.

[@juancblum6445]

+James Allen thanks, much for the advice.

[@Gibson17]

James Allen I am thinking about this model. I have played it in the store and they are selling it for a great price $2,999. Is there any difference in sound or playability between this and the standard om28 ? Or the Marquis ? Thanks

[@MrSNIPERALLEN]

Hey mate, It is quite similar, few stand out points. It depends on what you want from it. If you don't want the signature and want your own "unbranded" guitar then don't go for it. I love how mine plays, the neck is better imo then the OM28. Pickup is good for a starter (OM28 has no pickup). A lot of the same specs as the OM28 (OMJM is Englemann spruce though, same ebony fingerboard etc). Although the OMJM has a gloss headstock which looks great. OMJM is also packing some For me it is about playability, it has more depth in the sound when I played both of them, rings out much fuller and unplugged sounds the best and loudest. Versatile when you down tune as well. $2,999 Is an absolute steal for this guitar. Mine also came with a BEAUTIFUL case (worth $600), hopefully yours does too.

[@wezzlyn]

You guys should try to get your hands on Beck Hansen's signature model.

[@SeamusMcMichael]

Beautiful Guitar!

[@StephenPate]

After watching a few of the Gibson videos to come back to this Martin OM reminds me why I like Martin guitars - clear tone across all strings, bass but not boom, great pick and finger-picking articulation. Real nice.

[@andiriski2682]

Stephen Pate yup

[@Diemoreman]

It's really not easy on a recording to show that playing an OM-JM in person is a really neat experience. It's far more rich sounding than almost any other OM style guitar I've tried. Worth the price, IMO.

[@tyforsberg88]

anyone know what pick up john uses acoustically ?

[@Trytrio]

How does this one compare to a Takamine Nashville series?

[@VictorWeiner]

It's clear to anyone, except perhaps complete buffoons Mr Wintar and others...that Tony can probably play pretty much anything he likes, he's using some professional discipline playing the same tunes and melodies so we can compare and contrast more directly between guitars...these are very good demos, probably the best on you tube, so crawl back under your bridges little trolls, you're not welcome here anyway :-))

[@Meymeygwis]

Thank you, how do you compare this one with the OM28E Retro?

[@deeep9999]

this is my favourite acoustic guitar

[@7thvenom]

What style of guitar plaYING OR MUSIC IS HE PLAYING AT 2:20 REALLY DIG IT

[@equiox]

Hi, what song did you play for the 1st guitar style plucking? It is very nice blue!

[@JarekUchmanowicz]

I would love this, wow..

[@HunterHileman27]

what was the song he played in the beginning

[@JamesLovesRocks329]

I'm glad I'm not in the same room as that guitar because I can't stop drooling.

[@tusharmohan2468]

Action of guitar on 12th fret lowE string is it below 2mm ? I am always curious to know about john mayers action. Help me out??

[@musicvilladotcom]

+Tushar Mohan This guitar is setup with standard Martin action..... usually 3/32".

[@helenescotti7497]

hello, what is the title of the music you play at 2' 21. thank you

[@svensvensson6705]

0.16 what song is that?

[@darrylclark2318]

Isn’t there a pickup that comes stock in this guitar?

[@musicfrendlii96]

ashton kutcher?

[@Nicobouds]

I had the Clapton one and I changed for the Mayer one ;-)

[@alekshunter9226]

Are those 80/20 s on it?

[@GuitarBlaugrana]

Hey man! Do you prefer this one or the 000-28M EC Eric Clapton model ?

[@mike35424]

What's that little tune at 2:17 you guys always play for your reviews? Nice little number right there!

[@wazap43]

The Last Steam Engine Train by John Fahey

[@jbad339]

What song is he playing at 2:20?

[@7thvenom]

By the way this Cat playing is one of my favourite Guitarist I ever heard right up there with Keith Richards

[@Bifffe]

Whats the mic?

[@angelo.garcia]

Which fret wire is it?

[@zachadair52]

Someday I’ll fly....to guitar center to buy this

[@PhiI93]

What's the first blues song you play? Heard it so many times and I just can't put my finger on it.

[@ryanpak6171]

[@Teachering]

A very nice Martin!

[@tiprout97]

Dream Guitar.

[@Gingerjake2]

Iiiiieeeee...okay I'll take this AND the Clapton one! ♪

[@tiprout97]

Finallly got one !!! wow after 11 months hahah

[@timbov123]

They don't make the OM-28JM anymore. They only made 404 of them. So you would have to buy a used one, if you can find one for sale.

[@ravnpuar2324]

What piece u are playing on the first part of the vid and the third piece

[@ravnpuar2324]

Also the 4th one

[@Kostas1601]

Is this a Limited Edition or will they be making them for a long time?

[@Matthew-main]

long😍

[@MegaBenji10]

Whats the song at @2:50? :) :O

[@svensvensson6705]

what song is it before that song?

[@ggrahman9371]

How price this guitar......🤔

[@TheVaughnillaIce]

This is just something cool I noticed. Your shirt says "Bozeman, Montana" which, coincidentally, is where John Mayer lives.

[@musicvilladotcom]

TheVaughnillaIce Our store is also located in Bozeman. Mr. Mayer has come in the store many times...

[@TheVaughnillaIce]

Holy shit. I did not know that. What was it like?

[@Nat-oy1gl]

You're lying... I was just flipping there like 2 months back! I heard someone playing some of the tunes you use to test the sound and I just thought it was a popular way of testing! Aww man I'm so happy now! I live like 2 hours away, got to test some of the guitars on the wall, the Gibson blue was so nice! I wanted to buy a Taylor 214 ce but I couldn't find one :( I'll be sure to stop by next time I'm in town!

[@Gingerjake2]

Did you really? What was your reason? I'm thinking seriously of getting one but I'd like to know if there's a reason not to. ♪

[@AndreLuis-uk9tq]

2:53 comparando com o outro vídeo seu do violão Martin OM-1GT

[@rockinzzzup97]

skip to 2:20 for the sound.

[@TitoKYeptho]

Hahaha....

[@bmgag19]

some day

[@ohYew812]

Beautiful looks, beautiful sound... whats not to love? Now... where to get the loot...

[@Kostas1601]

plus they cost about 3 times as much as the OMJM... since they are so rare

Bucket List #1

[@juanboggio5811]

Decis que suena 5 mil dolares ? I dont think soo

[@doraemon5469]

Where can i buy that????

We will have one available at the end of next week. musicvilla.com/collections/martin

[@doraemon5469]

It can also deliver or shipping it to ph

[@musicvilladotcom]

@@doraemon5469 Would you mind sending me an email? [e-mail]

[@MrLilja]

"Ya'll know the Mona Lisa, right?, Lets see if Da Vincis brushes are good or not..." Its so random! Its custom guitar for a certain player...

[@RealKennethChoi]

I didn't even recognize this guy with his shorter hair. damn he looks so different

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

Is this Tony?

[@EBB47]

Save up for the OM-28JM... Johns real model... This omjm was the budget one

[@jeffhunter9311]

I have seen John play the OMJM Granet it is very rare but I have seen him play twice in concert as well as several videos. I have compared the 2 guitars that Engemann Spruce on both are extremely amazing And as far as a budget guitar you must be a very rich man I would put the OMJM Against any of them Check out Martin's 2019 lineup look at Engemann Spruce top guitars Only the highend guitars get this The new Excalibur even the D 200 At a $150000 price tag

[@MrConverse95]

my. dream. guitar.

[@AdrianMilanio]

Wow... his beard is gone!

[@diegowilkinson8802]

Play NEON cmon we all wanna hear it

[@Shufflekings]

I played one today and was not very impressed. I expected more from a guitar in this price range.

[@FLIGHTCOMPANY]

I only have 20 bucks -__-

[@trevorjalla]

very KJP at the top ;)

[@roberthoule9693]

A cedar neck!!!

[@kornikkk]

i would give everythin to have her :(

[@erikrusso9808]

kornikkk $4000 will do

[@AndiMichael]

sounds like john mayer

[@amazinglymistaken17]

You've never said/done something stupid and then regretted it? It's probably a lot more difficult to get away with it when you're not just some nobody commenting on youtube

[@itszaidihamid]

That is highly unlikely.

[@jklein2151]

They don't make it anymore bud.

[@littlepoorvayan5089]

Should I buy a car or guitar

[@ericesqueda6026]

Why does this guy look like jimmy Fallon.?

[@flossyatom2621]

He definitly doesn't! :)

[@thejo3338]

More like Ashton Kutcher in The Ranch

[@johnseabrook1029]

I'm sure it's a very good guitar but I'm still a bit puzzled. When did John Mayer become a guitar virtuoso? Maton have a Tommy Emmanuel model - that I understand. But John Mayer?!

[@jonathanduclos8882]

John Seabrook whatch the guy he wrote sing and play incredibly well ...

[@caseysatkowski9661]

He is one of the great guitar players. Most people don't realize how amazing he is.

[@mattwilliams507]

Bro... actually listen to that man play guitar. It’s not about all the flashy shit all the time

[@aravindvinayakan]

I'd argue he's one of the best. Clapton has been quoted as calling John a master guitar player. Check out some of his live work. The album Where The Light Is, is fantastic

[@johnseabrook1029]

You blokes must be very easily pleased. He isn’t anything special. Very average I reckon.

[@ImDaCaptainNow45]

Jimmy Fallon? I know das you bruh

[@mndesouza12]

OK, Pikachu, come back.

[@rhyantoothbrush4417]

this guy shaved his bear and started looking like Freddie Mercury

But can you play better than him?

$3600 bahaha nevermind!!!

[@soofitnsexy]

yeah i know...but its killahhhh...if u wannaplay..u gota payyyyyyyy

[@AlejandroCespedesTV]

Only got 20 dollars in my pocket (8)

[@Jason-kv7cm]

More playing less talking damn it

[@kalsporter3349]

playing the same thing in every review so annoying

[@soofitnsexy]

thats all he knows give the kid a break

[@marka7519]

These demos aren't primarily for your entertainment, they are to DEMONSTRATE GUITARS. Playing the same thing on every instrument he demos gives a very good baseline for those of us that are considering purchasing different high-end guitars. The consistency is much appreciated by people who actually have money to spend.

[@danmartinazzi]

Is the only way to hear the differences dude com'on ...!!!
