You know the Martin acoustics that Chris and Jonny used on the A Rush of Blood to the Head tour? Well they don't seem to use them as much anymore except on Don't Panic when Guy plays it but I was wondering if anyone knew the exact model of the Martin Acoustics. I really want to get one but am finding it difficult to find the right one.

 

Thanks!

hi

 

i'm not totally sureabout this but this is what i found

 

i think this is the guitar your talking about, you can see it next to the piano

the guitar is called either a martin DC15E or DC17E acoustic guitar

i read somewhere ages ago that the guitar isn't made anymore

hey cool thanks for those links but im still not sure if that's it cos the i don't think the body is as a wide as a dreadnought.

i think this is the one, the omc-15e.

If you want to buy a martin, then this isn't the one to buy. Chris and Jonny only use these because they are durable but get that Martin sound. If you want a Martin, go for something like this. I just brought this one and it sounds amazing

its probably more like the "durable but still with that martin sound" you were talking about. ive had it for over 3 years now, and i love it. it's all about what you like really. i'm sure chris and jonny's have upgraded electronics. now they use the gibsons though. seems like they improve with each record.

cheers glking that's the exact one!

The Martin Gutars used during the AROBTTH tour was the 000c-15e. As far as I know, this guitar is out of production now.

 

yeah thats the one they use

very nice guitar, lovly sound too.
