:D Hi evreyone at Fender, I am a new member who has owned a Fender type (built of fender bits!) guitar for some time and just about to buy the real thing! I really like the look of the American deluxe QMT with si switching and an ebony neck. However I also lust after the John Mayer sound and am considering the JM signature. What do you think would help me make up my mind? :(

Well first things first. You gotta get out and play them. The Mayer Strat has a rather chunky neck on it that you may not like. I found it just a little too big for my liking, but it does sound great.

The second thing is gonna be your budget, the Mayer model will run a little bit higher in the price category.

Once you get around those two things you should be able to decide.

As far quality and fit and finish go for the guitars I am sure they will both be excellent. People will most likely give you rave reviews about both of them, but it comes down to what your hands and ears tell you.

^ totally agree.... pretty much any american strat will give you great tone (mexican too for that reason) but look at your budget and play as many as you can in that range.... a few should most likely stick out above the rest and choose from them.... i like to shop for guitars with an open mind, just play as many as you can because if you are set on one, there may be a much better offer you are passing up
