The Martin M-7 Johnny Marr unites the legendary craftsmanship of Martin and the innovative artistry of one of music’s most iconic guitarists, offering a unique seven-string configuration that includes an octave G string for Marr's signature jangle. Crafted with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top, it delivers deep bass and rich overtones, while its Grand Auditorium body size ensures plenty of comfort and projection, combining the thickness of a 000 with the width of a Jumbo. Its standard taper mahogany neck and full-thickness profile give the M-7 a distinct feel for fluid transitions and complex chords. Marr’s history with Martin guitars is storied – his beloved 1971 D-28 has been the backbone of countless classics by The Smiths, including “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out.” Also available as a standard six-string model, the M-7, with its premium tonewoods, stunning aesthetics like a three-piece back and antique toner, and LR Baggs Anthem electronics, honors that legacy while opening new sonic possibilities. If you’re ready to take your playing to the next level and add a bit of Marr's magic to your music, heaven knows the Martin M-7 can be all yours as soon as now. A hardshell case and exclusive Souldier™ strap are included.
