In honour of the Crossroads Guitar Festival, a limited run of 50 superbly crafted custom guitars designed by John Mayer were commissioned to benefit Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Centre in Antigua. It features a grand concert body size similar to the late 1800's parlor guitars popular for travelling by stagecoach, imparting the "SC" appended to the model name.
With a super sleek Sitka Spruce top you get a really dynamic and responsive tone. Cocobolo back and sides offer an incredible aesthetic and it responds really nicely to a players touch, offering some real sweet overtones.
The Mahogany neck is an absolute dream to play. With a Standard Taper neck shape, 16" radius, 24.9" scale length and a 1 7/8" nut width, this Martin is supremely comfortable and smooth underhand. The Ebony fingerboard is the perfect partner for this neck; beautifully crafted it’s a real treat to play.
Each guitar is strung with Martin’s Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 strings and includes a paper label hand-signed by Mayer and Martin owner and CEO, Chris Martin. A Custom Shop ply hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity are included. Like the Crossroads Guitar Festival, profits from this model will directly benefit the Crossroads Centre.
