According to an interview that black strat is a custom shop with pickups wound to Mayer specs - low power or, in his words, "very light" pickups.
I may be out to lunch on this theory, but it looks like Mayer had them build him a guitar with the SRV "Number One" wear pattern, but with black paint instead of sunburst and a white pickguard instead of black. It's kind of like a subtle tribute to SRV's guitar without being an exact clone...

It's not a Rory Galagher strat, although similar in wear patterns to both the Rory strat and SRV's number one. The reason they're all similar in wear pattern is that those are the spots guitars naturally wear away in, like above the pickguard from strumming, along the contours from arm rubbing, and all along the back from belt rash/zippers. So naturally when masterbuilders do relicing on a strat, they try to locate it in all the realistic places.

Mayer's strat is a one-off masterbuilt strat with low output pickups and scooped mid range voicing, probably not too far from the production Big Dipper pickups in his signature strat. Of course his personal number one has light years more care and attention put into its build, but pickup wise the Mayer strat we can all readily buy doesn't seem too far off.

Hey guys thanks for the answers.

Low power pickups. Can one of you, give me any exampels of low power pu's.

I got Texas Speciel (Custom shop) pu's in my strat. They sounds really good, but i like that glass, clean tone john mayer has.

But i like my tone.
You can here it here, i'm playing lead guitar (i'm the little boy with red shirt.)
But is there a big different of my pu's and the big dippers. Because, if it could makes me sounds more glass, clean tone, i would think about to buy big dippers at ebay.
