Martin Custom Shop D-14 Cherry Hill Western Guitar
Martin Custom Shop D-14 Cherry Hill Western Guitar
The Martin Custom Shop D-14 Cherry Hill is not just any Custom Shop, but a guitar with an extraordinary amount of history! Even for a Martin. Indeed, behind this grand dreadnought lovingly crafted by Martin's finest luthiers lies a story from the principles of this legendary brand. First a word about the guitar itself, because even without its history it is worth a look.
Specifications
The Martin D-14 Cherry Hill is a limited edition Custom Shop Guitar that has the standard dimensions of an authentic dreadnought. This means it has a booming sound, with deep basses and a powerful full tone. The sitka spruce top combined with cherry sides and back creates a relatively bright tone that is more towards mahogany than rosewood. Cherry, by the way, is a beautiful tonewood that we have been seeing more and more in high-end guitars in recent years. Another plus about cherry is how the wood looks. It undulates beautifully on the back of this guitar, changing in colour and shape with every light source. The neck of this guitar is made of mahogany and the fretboard of ebony. All hardware is, as we have come to expect from Martin, of the highest quality!
Cherry Hill
This Martin D-14 has been named ‘Cherrry Hill’ for a reason. In every way, this guitar is an ode to the rich history of this renowned brand. Cherry hill is therefore really a place, close to the factory where Martin is now located. When Chris Martin moved from busy New York to idyllic Nazareth, he was not welcomed with open arms. Indeed, the small village in the mid-19th century consisted entirely of Moravian Christians, and people from other religious backgrounds were not welcome. Still, Chris Martin persevered, but before he could live in the village, he had a house built on a hill very close by. You guessed it: Cherry Hill! A small hill filled with cherry trees. So this first step for Martin in Nazareth, which has now become one of the largest and most important guitar makers in the world, is commemorated in this strikingly beautiful guitar. In short: The Martin Custom Shop D-14 Cherry Hill is definitely worth viewing and playing.
Martin OMJM John Mayer Signature
The OMJM John Mayer Signature Guitar
John Mayer has already produced a signature guitar with Martin before, but with a significantly higher price tag. Martin and Mayer both decided that they should develop a similar yet more affordable guitar. This resulted in this OMJM guitar. The first guitar was also limited edition, whereas this version will be longer available and won’t be produced in limited numbers. The guitar has all the specification that Mayer wanted, including a Fishman Gold Plus Natural I preamp for an authentic amplified sound. The top of the body is made of spruce and it has Indian rosewood back and sides. This is a great combination of tonewoods as it produces a warm and balanced sound. The guitar has a ‘select hardwood’ neck. This means the neck is either made of cedar or mahogany, depending on which of the two Martin can obtain without having to participate in deforestation. Both tonewoods are great choices for a neck and the difference between the two is minimal. The guitar also has an ebony fretboard, which will provide a smooth playing surface.
Martin
Martin is a reputable American company which has been making guitars for almost 200 years. Throughout the years they have become one of the best when it comes to western guitars. This is because quality is their biggest priority. Consequently, Martin guitars are very popular. There are even many famous guitarists who use Martin guitars, like Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and David Gilmour. Furthermore, their production process is environmentally friendly. Since the ‘90s they have worked together with the FSC to prevent deforestation. They only use wood from trees that have to be cut down to keep the forest healthy. The other parts of the guitar are recycled, as well. By purchasing a Martin guitar you are thus not only investing in quality, but also the environment.
