Grammy winner John Mayer has teamed up with Fender for this must-have signature guitar. Its Alder body is a wonderland, and the satin urethane-finish Maple neck has a slightly larger C-shape topped by a buffed headstock with a vintage '50s decal. The African rosewood fingerboard has a 9.5 in. radius and Dunlop 6105 frets.
Other features include 3 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 3-ply brown shell pickguard.
