Hey fellas, i was wondering if i would be better off buying the John Mayer Strat or just buying an american standard and putting some Fralin blues specials in?

what kind of music do you play? Blues? The JM has a huge mids, so if you like mids go with the JM especially if you are playing the blues. I always thought the Fralins were too hot. IMHO.

yeah blues is basically what i like to play! when im not playing blues im playing lead stuff for my church does alot of modern worship music. which requires clean tones and lots of delay.

Opposite. The JM has "scooped" mids.

The Mayer strat will sing on the clean tones and likes to be driven in blues music as well. It would suit you fine. But your other option isn't bad either.

I played both back to back. I actually prefer the american std.

The John Mayer neck is a lot fatter than an American Standard, so you might ant to play one and figure out if you like the bigger neck profile first. I own one, and it was of the best strats I have ever played/owned hands down
