I installed the one on my standard. The factory doesn't do it. Been quite a few years, but I think I pre-drilled the holes with a very small bit. Tense few moments. I do prefer the pickguard on look, though.

The PRS headstock over the strat body on John Mayer’s guitars just ain’t right.

It’s not a Strat. It’s a Silver Sky.

Have to agree.

Wease.





It’s a strat style body.

it is kinda weird, but I'd like to try one out. Maybe a Suhr, too...if I win the lotto.

I hate everything about John Mayer. Especially his shitty looking guitar.

I hope you don’t hate his playing. He is amazingly versatile, is pretty authentic in all of them and the man knows tone. If he wasn’t such a douchebag, I think he’d be much more highly regarded.

He's the new clapton.

I dont find his playing interesting but thats just me. I know he's talented but.....blah

Bromance with Strat is on hold until he's ready to admit that Mayer rips.

Nope. Bye

Send my love (to your new lover)

i'm with strat...mayer meh

I have zero views about Mayer but I couldn't imagine ever buying a PRS, whether it's the Silver Sky or whatever.

Ugly guitars.

From the nut down it’s a strat.

Anyway … interesting how more guitarists aren’t sponsored by a certain brand, like athlets are with sneakers ot even drummers are with drums. There must be a lot to the idea that you need different guitars for different sounds.

Am I wrong about sponsorships? Does Fender sponsor McCready even though he plays several other brands regularly? (Just as an example)

So you agree it’s not a Strat.

I agree with this. I don’t think he’s the new Clapton, tho.

I don’t think it’s sponsorships per se. McCready has a signature model Strat. Matt had signature model drumsticks for a while. (And they were great. It’s the only sticks I’ve used since the mid-90s). Steve Ferrone had a signature snare. Etc… Back in the old days I remember in album liner notes “so and so artist uses Gibson guitars, Fender amps, Ernie Ball strings” and such and they were probably given shit from each of those companies, but I don’t know if stuff like that really happens anymore.

i think self is sponsored by ibanez...

love you justin
