M-6 Johnny Marr

The Martin M-6 Johnny Marr unites the legendary craftsmanship of Martin and the innovative artistry of one of music’s most iconic players. Whether you're a lifelong fan of The Smiths, searching for new sounds, or simply a lover of fine guitars, this six-string marvel is sure to be a light that never goes out in your musical collection.

With close attention to detail and a unique design unlike anything in the Martin lineup, the M-6 reflects Marr's distinctive musical style. Designed in close collaboration with the legend himself, its genuine mahogany neck with a full-thickness profile, standard taper, and slightly thinner width at the nut provides a unique feel, allowing for fluid transitions and complex chord structures. This design makes it perfect for replicating the lush, intricate sounds of his most iconic tracks.

Crafted with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides and a solid spruce top, this guitar resonates with deep bass and rich overtones for an efficient, balanced sound. Wide like a Jumbo with the thickness of a 000, its Grand Auditorium body size ensures plenty of comfort and projection while offering a precise distinction between the treble and bass. Whether you're fingerpicking or strumming, the M-6 offers an expansive tonal palette that suits any playing style.

Equipped with LR Baggs Anthem electronics, the M-6 ensures your sound is perfectly captured on stage or in the studio with volume, mix, mic level, and phase controls. Paired with its premium tonewoods and stunning aesthetics like a three-piece back, modern pyramid ebony bridge, and antique toner, this custom artist guitar – also available as a unique seven-string model – is designed to inspire and perform at the highest level.

Marr’s history with Martin guitars is storied – his beloved 1971 D-28 has been the backbone of several classic Smiths songs, including “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” and “Cemetry Gates.” The M-6 pays homage to that legacy while ushering in a new era of 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-6 can be all yours as soon as now. A hardshell case and exclusive Souldier™ strap are included.
