Default Martin 0042-SC John Mayer

As we all know, high end Martin guitars are for the affluent amongst us, therefore I would like to pose this.

The John Mayer stage coach model, does anybody know of an identical or similar guitar for a reasonable price (below £800) as unfortunately I don't have a spare £10,000 at my disposal. Thank you.

No.
You won't find a similar guitar below £800.

You want a "fancy" 00 guitar for that price?
Check out a Sigma 00R-45VS.

good luck

Thanks, I checked the sigma out in a shop in York not so long ago, plays great to be honest, just wanted to make sure there wasn't any small relatively unknown dealers and companies that I was missing.

I was looking into a 12 fret slothead mgself.
Besides Sigma 00r-28/45 and Eastman E20 00, you might want to check out Blueridge br-361/371.
It's a 0 size not 00. Nonetheless, it's solid and sounds amazing.
Not sure how much they sell for across the pound though.

Hope this helps.
Leon

not identical but as you can see Larrivee makes some nice guitars at reasonable prices.
