There were some old ads (2002) that showed him as a DAddario user. Many guitarists today emulate techniques Guillory evolved in the early 70's while living in the south of Spain. DAddario EJ16 light-gauge, phosphor-bronze strings on his acoustic.

This special concert includes three sets: an acoustic performance, a rare set with John Mayer Trio (John Mayer, Steve Jordan and Pino Palladino), as well as a set featuring Mayer’s full band. Amplifiers and Effects Hendrix's enthusiasm for effects, and his ability to. Where The Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles captures the multi-Grammy® Award-winning, Platinum-selling singer/songwriter in the element where fans love him the most: live on stage. Guillory came to earn a reputation as one of the best guitarists ever. Jimi liked his Strats to sound bright, and so he chose a light-tone maple. I am a big fan of John Mayer, and you can go all the way from Heart of life-soft, to easily replicate his sweet solo tones both sound and attack-wise. He worked as an acoustic solo performer and settled in the United Kingdom. Note: as Isaac is in the middle of some genius amazing guitar work, he continues furiously picking whilst quickly tuning at the 5:59 mark in the video (who notices being slightly out of tune when in such a great state of grace? Or is able to actually tune it at such a point?)īlues Is Just A Bad Dream/Swinging Little Guitar Man.a slow burn at first but at three minutes he really catches fire.Īfter active resistance to the Vietnam War, Guillory left the USA in November 1970, acquired a Martin D-35 and lived throughout Europe.
Yes, there is more to rock than shredding albeit with nice tone.and I do love great electric guitar work.but now for:
Rather than being another company’s attempt to capitalise on the popularity of the Strat, the PRS took a ground-up approach to making an SSS configuration guitar.Īs the Silver Sky is reasonably new (released in 2018) there aren’t many variations outside of colour and fretboard material to choose from, with all versions using the same pickups and specs otherwise.I'm going acoustic, quieting things down a bit. The Silver Sky can be seen as a modern re-imagining of the Stratocaster, not dissimilar to the G&L Legacy model. In his words the main difference tonally between the two is that he wanted to “take out a lot of those frequencies that you sort of have to work to roll off” on a Strat. The introduction of the PRS Silver Sky was more of an evolution of Mayer’s love for a Stratocaster than it was a complete departure, with stories of Mayer approaching Paul Reed Smith to build the guitar after failed attempts to get the exact specification he wanted from Fender.īy Mayer’s own admission “This guitar is based off the Strat” and in many respects pays homage to what he loved about the vintage spec models he had become so closely associated with. In 2015 John switched from Fender Guitars to PRS, developing his first signature guitar for the company, the Super Eagle, before unveiling the Silver Sky in 2018. The Black One came in a roadworn finish as requested by Mayer, in order to give a greater resonance and improve the natural acoustics of the guitar. Most notably it was used almost exclusively throughout the recording Mayer’s third album, Continuum. This guitar has been used extensively by Mayer in live performances as well as in the studio, still making occasional appearances to this day. In November 2004 John took delivery of “The Black One”, a Fender Custom Shop model made by master builder John Cruz, built to similar specs as the Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature model. These include his Jimi Hendrix Monterey Strat and numerous Stevie Ray Vaughan “SRV” Stratocasters and while not a direct copy, several “Crashocasters”, as popularised by Eric Clapton.īetween 2006-2014 Fender sold a John Mayer Signature Stratocaster, as well as limited run replicas of BK1, based largely on his Signature model. There are a few Stratocasters immediately recognisable as John Mayer’s, including a few which are recreations of other famous musicians’ guitars. In 2018 Mayer swapped his Stratocasters for the all-new PRS Silver Sky, built to his specifications Fender Stratocasters Strats (with an occasional 335 or Guild Starfire) into Two Rocks & a Dumble. From his early years right the way up to the 2015, the guitar most commonly associated with John Mayer was the Fender Stratocaster, with Mayer owning a few notable Strats over the years.
