I read on the net thay are available from the parted JM strats for $400/set of three on eBay. Have you tried them? The reazon I am asking is that
I played Mayer sig strat and they sounded ok on the neck, mid and neck/mid everything else was nothing special. Not worth the $400 imo. With CS 69 for about $160 on eBay and little bit of amp dialing you can get pretty close to them. to my ear CS 69 sound better in all positions.
BTW I think that is what JM is using in his non sig and non vintage strats [sunburst w large headstock and some of Jimy H versions] (just opinion from listening from the DVD concert and comparing, if that is considered comparable, to my strat with CS 69).

Hope this helps. Good luck.

he used his CM Sig on "Good Love is on the Way", and his Charcoal Frost Metallic Sig on "Bigger than my Body" which was only available to see on the Blu-Ray edition, when used on a computer. the Monty, Reverse Proto, and '64 Gold Sparkle have '69s (the gold sparkle has a '69 at the neck, Fat 50s at the middle, and Tex. Special at the bridge. data from Wildwood Guitars)

his Big Dippers are in a league of their own, higher in quality than the '69 in both sound and build. at least that is my opinion.

it has been hinted by Mike Eldred that the Big Dipper could be released as an official replacement set, due to their popularity.
