This has to be the coolest video for a guitarist. Makes you really appreciate how Mayer went from being a high school kid working at a gas station to one of the best guitar players of our generation. Makes you feel like dreams aren't impossible

It’s also incredible that he looked up to guitarist like Eric Clapton only to one day end up playing with them at shows and even garnishing acknowledgments and respect from them.

Imagine working in a gas station for a year, buy a signature guitar of your hero, then go to music school wishing you can work as a musician for a living and after you winning a couple grammys for your music 2 years later you play the exact same guitar in your's hero's inductee in Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Jimmy Vaughan, his brother. What a man.

Because the pickguard was clearly changed out. Only those who know that serial number understand :) For those who dont know, the original pickguard is black with the initals "SRV" in white strokes.

@rmzzz763 жыл бұрын
Sig in plan sight @00:59 That's a SRV signature Strat neck for sure. But not sure about the rest of it. Someone probably bought a SRV signature Start and swapped out the pick guard and pickups along with the gold hardware or they just put an SRV neck (baseball bat profile on that SRV neck) on to a older guitar body.

My main guitar is the same year, '96 SRV signature strat. Had it for almost 6 years now, and it's so special as a kid who started playing guitar because my mom had the trio set from where the light is on in the car for my whole childhood, and I wanted to be able to play like mayer. Love the hell out of the thing.

When guitar is your passion, every single mark on the guitar has a memory tied to it. The intentional ones, the drunken drops, everything becomes sentimental. I've got a few bruises on my strat as well, hopefully one day I'll be able to talk about my travels in relation to that guitar as well... Awesome video John.

This guitar has been mysterious and almost mythical throughout my youth. Like its the friggin' AGT guitar which is embedded in my brain -the mythical impossible tone. It is the guitar John played a million awesome songs with.. all those rare tapes and all. Its the one which made him famous. This is the real John Mayer guitar. And now I'm seeing it up close in HD almost like in person. John is talking to me and feel like I'm in the cameraman's point of view. THis was magical to a fanboy like me.

Yeah he spent a summer at a gas station saved every paycheck bought the SRV sig strat...very noble. at some time I assume he replaced the pickguard to the tortoise shell to make it "his own" but other then that it still has the LH tremelo and all the other little things the SRV strat has. If it aint broke don't fix it! way to go john. He even engraved his initials on the back like SRV did...and I'm pretty sure the top of his sleeve tatoos is "SRV" and was one of his first tattoos.
@bcummings21876 ай бұрын
I caught the left hand trem right away 😉........that's cool he was really into SRV when he started out like most are. What's even cooler is he's one of the few who really found his own sound and didn't stay on the SRV bandwagon. When he wants to he can pull from that bag though 🤘
