Fender Stratocaster Artist – JOHN MAYER STRATOCASTER Guitar Review :: Fender Electric Guitars Reviews
An American Vintage synchronized tremolo with five tremolo springs.
Grammy winner John Mayer has teamed up with Fender for this must-have signature guitar. Features include an alder body and satin urethane-finish maple neck with a slightly larger C-shape, topped by a buffed headstock with a vintage ’50s decal. The African rosewood fingerboard has a 9.5″ radius and Dunlop 6105 frets. Other features include three new Big Dipper single-coil pickups with a special scooped mid-range voicing wound to Mayer’s exacting specs, an American Vintage synchronized tremolo with five tremolo springs (the uninstalled back plate is in the case), Fender/Gotoh vintage-style tuning keys and a three-ply brown shell pickguard.
