About the 00-42SC
The “SC” at the end of this guitar’s model number stands for “Stagecoach”. It’s true – when John Mayer and Martin began working together on this guitar’s design, Mayer said that he wanted the sort of guitar that a cowboy would play when riding on a stagecoach. Small enough to take along with the luggage, but still man enough for providing a bit of community singing en route. ‘There’s something about a smaller-bodied acoustic guitar that has always appealed to me,’ he says. ‘In one glance it inspires me to write…’ and so it did, because he allegedly used to finish work on his album Born And Raised. It could even be this particular model that you can hear on the intro to the single ‘Queen Of California. (excerpt from Acoustic)
