As an aside, more than once lately I've seen John Mayer playing pointy-headstock Jackson SSH/Floyd jobbies (Soloists I guess) in garish colours. Truthfully, the worst tone I've ever known him have. Maybe he's being ironic or something.
Wow. This is after his PRS deal?
Yes. How pissed off would you be if you were PRS? All the time and effort developing the guy a guitar (well, rearranging the switches on an existing one...) and he decides to play a sparkly pink Jackson Soloist.

The guitar I like most from all I have seen lately is the one in your new avatar pic. Alfa Paul?

I can't even recall where I got the pic from, wish it was a real guitar but I assume it's some sort of marketing photoshop...

He mostly used it after the end of his Fender deal and before he was officially with PRS (~2015).

He played a Fender in his PRS sig amp demo, and that was after the release of his PRS sig guitar. So I'd guess PRS don't really care either way.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Nor should anyone else. Care about anything involving John Mayer, that is. :mental:

Indeed, coz a radiator grill would make a lousy pickup. Hmm, unless the radiator bars were magnets and the radiator frame hid a wire coil :think:

Anyways, my friendly guitar pimp kdawg2a is going to let me try out some of his strats so I can get a feel for it, picked the telemaster up before and I really don't want to sell it now... so yeah, one RG on the block, keep the telemaster, buy a strat is likely future for moi....

Only time I've seen Mayer play Jackson is here



Was shortly after leaving Fender and a while before PRS.

But, to be fair, that's a 6k custom shop 30th Anniversary Jackson Soloist he received after NAMM, into a 5k SLO. Who wouldn't?!

*edit ok so he's played it more than a few times, most recently at the grammies and for a Tonight Show appearance in March. Guess he can do whatever the hell he wants haha.
