Jon Bon Jovi's all-black acoustic?
Just saw Bon Jovi on "The View" and Jon was playing an all-black OM or 000-size guitar, no cutaway, with a square headstock (so it's not his usual Takamine) bearing an abalone tree-of-life style inlay similar to Martin or Blueridge and an abalone rosette and top binding. Could not see a logo. Anyone know if this is a Martin? If not, what brand? Has Takamine begun to release square-peghead guitars? Does Collings make such a model? I was surprised to see him strumming it, since it's not a dread.

I just watched the video on MSNBC and you can't really tell what kind it is. It looks like a Martin headstock but without the Martin label on it.....
here is the link to the site where you can watch the concert: Bon Jovi ‘Want to Make a Memory’ |

Looks a whole lot like the alternate Martin torch to me.

I'd also say it is a Martin. Nice looking guitar!

Definitely the Martin Torch.

...then again, Collings has a torch that is nearly identical?

Maybe Norm actually Ebay'ed the Esteban again ! (Even Jon couldn't pass up a deal, maybe ? )

It is indeed a Martin. Very likely not his guitar (many times on these TV performances musicians don't have their guitar and play what is provided). He's a pretty loyal Takamine player.

It's probably an all black version of Ritchie Sambora's signature OMC-41. I believe he uses that one in the video "You can't go home" with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland. EDIT: Missed the part about no cutaway, so that rules out the OMC-41 RS.

Looks a whole lot like the Clapton Belliza Nera (sp?)
The black 000 EC sig model.

And, I don't think Collings has ever produced a black topped guitar, and only a few shaded top (sunburst). I could be wrong on that, but it would be easy enough to find out. I think RickS got it right as well. |
