In 2018, they release the PRS Silver Sky. Over the next few years, John and Paul Reed Smith worked on building a signature model to John’s specifications.
Fender wouldn’t build the guitar he wanted, so he looked elsewhere. In 2015, John Mayer switched from Fender to PRS. This Strat was the main guitar used on the Continuum album and heavily used on tour. The guitar was reliced because Mayer felt that removing the lacquer helped the guitar resonate. In 2004, John Mayer started playing “ The Black One” – a signature Strat built for him by the Fender Custom Shop. We could go through a long list of various strats John Mayer has played as well as some non-strat guitars, but I’ll focus this section on his main guitars. John toured with various other strats including a Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster in 2003. Over the years, John has used a few different SRV signature models on tour. John Mayer’s signature guitar (covered later) is based on this guitar, so it has clearly had a big influence on his playing. He famously saved up for this guitar by working at a gas station and traded a 12-string guitar and a distortion pedal for it (plus cash). While John Mayer played basic Squier and Fender Stratocasters in the early days, the Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Strat he bought in 1996 stands out. If you want to get a John Mayer guitar tone, you’ll want a strat in your hands. While John Mayer has a massive guitar collection and has played a wide range of guitars over the years, he’s definitely a strat player. 10.1 Related Guides and Lessons: John Mayer’s Electric Guitars
