Malcolm-Edge Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Jon likely uses Martins too. He doesnt usually use them to much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat1229 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Actually I am pretty sure Jonny uses a Gibson. the guitar Jonny was using to play the Scientist during the X & Y tour and the Viva tour are the same, and I am pretty sure he is using a Gibson as a acoustic. (Chris also used a Gibson during the acoustic set of X&Y tour) Jon likely uses Martins too. He doesnt usually use them to much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yeah, up til the end of AROBTTH they predominantly used Martin's, but from X&Y onward it's been Gibson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle131 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I hate Johnny for having that vintage Jazzmaster :(. I also remember hearing a while back that the Martin Chris used for AROBTTH is discontinued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I hate Johnny for having that vintage Jazzmaster :(. Out of envy? Or do you just not care for jazz? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowtalk Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sorry I read the original post as being both acoustics and lead guitars. Yeah he seems to use Gibson guitars these days. I actually really like the sound the of the Jazzmasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle131 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Out of envy? Or do you just not care for jazz? :rolleyes: No, I love Jazz. I'm just jealous that he has a vintage Jazzmaster. I played one of those remakes at a Sam Ash two years ago and I loved it. I'm sure the actual Jazzmaster is ten times more amazing! When I go big, I'm going to buy one ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFadden Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Chris also plays a Takamine EAN10C and i've seen him use a Takamine Santa Fe style model. Martin and Gibson were mentioned already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakfak Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Specifically, Jon uses 2 Reissue Gibson J-200 acoustics. (A sunburst one, and a natural finished one presumably used as a backup.) He's also currently using a Gibson Blues King (the same kind Chris is playing this tour, and Jon's is painted as well.) There have also been photos of him recently with a Martin dreadnaught (presumably a d-28) which he seems to use as a warm up guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noahb Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 CHRIS MARTINS MOST RECENT ACOUSTIC HE USED AT HOPE FOR HAITI IS A GUILD JUMBO ELECTRIC ACOUSTIC F-50 WITH THE D-TAR PICKUP SYSTEM...and some sort of new shure microphone as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraafTork Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Look what the Oracle said today: February 18, 2013 - submitted by Jericho, United States of America Q. Hello Do you know what the model is for Chris Martin's Martin guitar? Thanks The Oracle replies: No, but luckily I know a man who does. Thanks to the knowledgeable Hoppy (Chris' guitar tech for those who don't know) for this very comprehensive answer. "On the MX tour he was playing Martin D-15 M's (FYI: D= dreadnought body shape/ number = style, the higher the number the more fancy appointments, binding, inlays etc/ M= mahogany). He used six or seven in a show, set up for different songs/tunings and all painted different)." He also went on to tell me: "His favorite is a 1985 (I think) made D-28 which doesn't tour. I believe he originally rented this from John Henry's Hire dept. a long time ago and subsequently bought it from them. Amongst the others, he has a vintage pre-war D-28. Also D-42, or 45 K (K=Koa wood) from the 70's (I think!) Also he may have a OO-15CE (OO= body size, small/ C= cutaway/ E=electric) somewhere. He used these on the Rush of Blood tour. He has recently been recording with 2 new HD-28's (H= herringbone, which is a style of binding they previously used on pre-war made D-28's) that have been modified, and a couple of specially made 12 string versions of D-15 M's." He knows his stuff does our Hoppy! Wow, I hope you guitar fans out there found that as fascinating as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Boy Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 yeah I read this too, sounds interesting doesn't it? I'm looking foward to hear the 12string d15m on the new album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
