Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

Secure a legendary signature collector's piece with the Fender Limited Edition John Mayer Stratocaster (2007–2008)! Tipping the scales at a resonant 7 lbs 6 oz, this highly sought-after model is finished in the ultra-rare Cypress Mica colorway over a select alder body. Built to Mayer's exact player specifications, it features a smooth maple neck with a substantial Thick "C" profile, topped by an African rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius, 21 narrow-jumbo frets, and a 1.650" bone nut. The guitar’s signature sound comes courtesy of a trio of proprietary Big Dipper™ single-coil pickups, engineered with scooped mid-range dynamics to deliver modern glass, punchy scoop, and soaring vocal sustain. Outfitted with a 6-saddle American Vintage synchronized tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines, vintage-style white radio knobs, a 3-ply parchment pickguard, and an included gig bag, this limited artist build offers unmatched tone and rare aesthetic appeal.
