I like John Mayer. But I have no idea WTF he's talking about in those two quotes. Do you have to be American to understand, or (more likely) amd I just being thick?
Fernandes strat in 1988, black with maple neck, full on Blackie look, minus different looking headstock. Great, great, great guitar, wish I still had it.
Sold to make way for my first Fender Stratocaster, an American Standard, in 1990. Wish I still had that too!
