Welcome to the forum. If you do a search on JM and his guitars you'll find dozens of threads here about all things John Mayer!! Good luck and have fun reading!!

Try both the stratocaster and the Custom Shop forums (both CS and Ask Mike Eldred)

You definitely need to play it yourself. I was interested in it and liked the pups but the neck was one of the more extreme ones that I tested. I could probably get used to it but decided not to swim upstream and go with something that felt good right away. You might like it.
Welcome, by the way.

The neck isn't wide, the back profile is just deep or Chunky. I'd stay away from the John Mayer, SRV, Robert Cray and Hot Rod 62 strats if you don't like fatter necks. However if you love thick necks like I do, you'll love the profile of the Mayer. I own one, and it really is a nice strat.

I went and tried out the strat. The sound was awesome great low tone but also a higher tone can come out as well. The neck isn't to bad its wider than my godin but i can still get my thumb around it easily. It looks soooo sick and plays wonderfully. I'm very pleased about the guitar, once I have the money i'm definatley buying it. 8) 8) :D :D :D :D

Love the JM sig, one of my favorite guitars I've ever had. It's a great buy!

I checked one out in the store. Definitely a sweet guitar, but the neck is a bit chunky, so I wouldn't buy it without a hands-on workout.
