SHAWN MENDES | Shawn Mendes has always been drawn to guitars that feel personal—small-bodied, intimate, and full of songs waiting to happen. His latest collaboration with Martin brings that feeling to two new signature models inspired by a cherished vintage Martin from the 1920s. The limited-edition 000-28 Shawn Mendes captures the refined spirit of Shawn’s stage guitar with classic Style 28 appointments, while the 000-10E Shawn Mendes offers a more accessible Road Series option built with FSC®-certified tonewoods and stage-ready electronics.

About Shawn Mendes
GRAMMY®-nominated, multi-platinum singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has become one of the defining pop artists of his generation, known for heartfelt lyrics, soaring vocals, and an intimate connection to the acoustic guitar. Shawn’s expansive catalog includes multi-platinum hits such as “Treat You Better,” “Stitches,” “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back,” “If I Can’t Have You,” and “Señorita.” In 2018, Shawn released his self-titled platinum album, Shawn Mendes, which was nominated in two categories for the 61st annual GRAMMY Awards®, including Song of the Year for “In My Blood” and Best Pop Vocal Album. In 2020, Mendes’ fourth album, Wonder, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking his fourth consecutive chart-topping album. Mendes’ latest album, Shawn, released two years ago, draws deeply from his travels and experiences over the last few years. Representing Shawn’s most musically intimate and lyrically honest work to date, the album was written acoustically on his vintage Martin guitar and received widespread critical acclaim.
A longtime Martin player, Shawn has often turned to acoustic guitars as a source of inspiration in his songwriting and performances. In 2022, he partnered with Martin on his first signature model, the 000JR-10E Shawn Mendes, reflecting his passion for creativity, sustainability, and connection. His latest Martin collaboration continues that story with two new signature models inspired by his cherished 1920s Martin.
Beyond his music career, Shawn focuses his charitable efforts on empowering young people to make positive change in their communities. In 2019, he launched the Shawn Mendes Foundation (SMF) to support young changemakers, amplify their voices, and inspire and uplift young leaders.
