John Mayer...
What kind of guitar does he play?
If you said "it's a Strat"... In most cases, you're dead on!
John plays several different guitars and I've seen notes on the web stating that he has a couple
hundred guitars or more. Poor soul! Can you imagine?
Given this thought, I suppose a better answer to "what kind of guitar does John Mayer play" would
be:
Any ole guitar he wants to play!
Every time I've seen John burning it up, it's been on a Fender Stratocaster and from what I
understand, they have produced special versions for John himself - not a bad fit for John or
Fender in my opinion.
One thing is for sure. When John Mayer grabs a guitar, it seems to just "leak" killer blues guitar
licks.
Unfortunately, most folks are smoke-screened by the mainstream stuff John constantly has ringing
on the radio. This is all "well and good" but for you more serious "pickers", I highly encourage you
to pick up some of his more raw stuff where it's just him, a drummer, and a bass player. He's
nothing short of amazing!
Here are some other guitars he's used in concert:
• Collins Guitars
• Novax Guitars Custom (Sweet!)
• Cherry Red Gibson
• Various Stratocasters (with blues being choked out of them
• Martin Guitars
John also plays a Martin D-18 large body acoustic as well as an OM-EC Eric Clapton acoustic.
2. Sign me up for either of these please!
And last but not least, John's been seen playing the strings off a black bodied Guild acoustic.
Whatever you see in Johns hands, rest assured, it's fixin' to take a serious beating on the neck. He
knows how to travel the neck and do it very fluently and easily.
In my honest opinion, John is way ahead of his years and he has been for as long as I can
remember.
Check out all his stuff and learn as much of it as you can. It will serve you well!
[As an aside...] At the time of this writing, I saw John playing with David Ryan Harris as his backup
guitarist.
HEADS UP!
David is NO slouch. In fact, David is a amazing as a player and writer. Saw him at jazz club
soloing and he was absolutely unreal. find him on the web and check him out!
Take it easy,
