Hi guys,

Thought you might like to see this. John Mayer doing Dylan cover in Sydney on a guitar that looks vaguely familiar

It's a 25th Anniversary painted black. I believe he used it on his last album

Yeap I was gonna say reflex but I remember BP saying John wanted a black 25th. Same thing really but just a little trivia.

I love my Venetian redburst but man. Black, white, and gold top all look sooooo good. Love it!

 

[Mark M]

Yep - he talks about it here: John Mayer interview | Guitarist Magazine | MusicRadar.com

My 25th is totally awesome BTW. I've never played a guitar like it.

 

[Big Poppa]

thats nice of John. class act

 

[Colin]

wow that's the first time I've read that. I may have to include Johns quote about the Reflex when I get asked about it. Very cool guitar

I got a bit confused by that article actually - this quote in particular: "But [The Black One] just struck. All of a sudden this guitar started doin' it..."

I think John plays the black 25th. The one in the video above is a 25th I believe (see headstock).

I had no idea the whole Continuum album was 25th. That's nuts!

 

[dhalif]

we all can conclude, that ebmm makes the best guitars..

You're mis-reading.

The continuum album was 'the black one' which is what he calls the black fender relic'd strat that he plays.

 

[mb99zz]

Very cool!

 

[browndog]

First time I’ve read that as well. Pretty damn cool.

+1

He was talking about the 25th as an example of loving a guitar even though the finish wasn't right.

 

[Big Poppa]

Yeah but most of Battle Studies was our guitar. we had high hopes and kept our fingers crossed that it would translate to the live set but it didnt. I appreciate the opportunity to work with John and any exposure is good. I cant lie we were hoping that this would be a break. it was a mini break. I was in the studio twice and rehearsals once, I dont do that for anyone anymore. I even brought smoked Tri Tip to the sessions I couldnt tell you guys about it because of the politics involved

 

[mb99zz]

BP - has he sampled an AL HH?

 

[Big Poppa]

I cant comment on what he has tried and not tried as I do not want to trade on him If he goes public with something then Im happy. Im not trying toimply he has anything else just respecting his privacy
