Thinking of getting a HR62 and buying a black HR57 body from ebay to create my own Black 1...without the gold hardware (which I don't like) and with the thin-skin finish...(which the Mayer doesn't have)...

I for one, don't understand the John Mayer fetish that goes around!

I love the pups, to be honest though, I like the 3 tone burst better. I was hoping for something other than a black version with gold hardware of his already released sig strat but oh well. I may just get a road worn 60's and throw some jazzy cats in it. It's cool if you dig the guitar though, to each his own.

Actually I do like the pickups very much. But would rather
drop in Klein s5 which are midscooped and based on the big dippers

Love it - I may have to get one.

I personally don't understand why someone doesn't have a John Mayer fetish.

Ah touché.

I think for me, his music is lodged in my brain amongst a not so great time in my life, and probably more importantly, I hate gold

Well I dunno about it being a jm fetish love the guys playing
his signature strat is cool, I would prefer the cypress mica.
or the reliced one.
But for the money I would mucher rather get the hr 62.
Or Klein s5 pus

Looks nice to me..Would have to hear it though. Is it the same one he plays in concert?

Price seems reasonable. Don't have the $$ to buy one though.

Mayer can be an idiot at times, OK a lot of times... but his playing is great with his JM Trio (Steve Jordon and Pino Palladino) on "Where the Light is" DVD.

I think the Big Dippers are some of the most amazing pups I have ever heard. I loved the S-5's but I think the Jazzy Cats are what I am looking for. Or I could just unload about $600 on a set of Big Dippers on ebay...
