John Mayer PRS

Periscope video with John's pre production PRS model.

You would think John Mayer could offered something better than a potato to film his vids...

Sig model looks nice, although it's very busy.  Not sure if he said what the mini switches are for, couldn't hear shit

Switches are preamp. Mid boost and then 3coil tap switches.

Not a fan as I haven't heard much of his stuff but I know he gets good tone. Strange combination with PRS as always associate him with a Strat.......

dindude

I'm surprised he' bought straight into the bling top, birds etc - I thought he would have stripped it back a bit.

Did not expect that spec either, looks or electronics.

dindude

Ah well, we can expect more sterile tone from here  on in I guess

My PRS wasn't sterile enough until I fitted EMGs.

He had a spat with Fender:

I love Fender guitars and will continue to play them, but the fact is that the company as it is today isn’t the same one I started with. - See more at: http://tonereport.com/news/john-mayer-announces-fender-split-on-twitter#sthash.3NsnAK7J.dpuf

It might be something to do with Fender getting rid of Mike Eldred who was head of the Custom Shop.  I think there were some other changes made as well.

He does also have a nickle plated strat! there's some magpie in there.

Sounds nice, although I imagine by the switchig, inlays, and maple back that this will be a limited run PS model rather than a Core version.

I'd have liked to have seen a triple 408 loaded model though, but each to their own.

I'm not a member of the anti-PRS lobby, but that has too many pickups, far too many switches and too much bling.

But never mind that, I like the white hardtail Strat!

blueskunk

Ugly ass guitar that.

Mayer playing a PRS??? That's just weird. I wish he'd release some more of his excellent blues trio live

This plus the Grateful Dead thing means he's going to be making rubbish tuneless-noodle jam music forever
