This replica of the $25,000 John Mayer Black1 replica was painstakingly recreated using only the finest genuine components to simulate the feel of the real thing. The guitar features a black Fender Stratocaster body relic'd to the appropriate design, feel, and aesthetic of the original. Do not be fooled by the Fender Big Dipper pickups that come on the lesser expensive John Mayer signature models. This guitar features David Allen Big Cat pickups which capture the low output, underwound sound of the original guitar. The neck also is slightly different on the Black1 than the lesser expensive models. This neck features a thin Fender C-shape neck with medium-jumbo frets and a 9.5" radius. Ships in tweed hardshell case.
