Fender Stratocaster

Hello friends,

Here's a very nice April 2006 John Mayer Signature Stratocaster body, with the bridge and tremelo system included.  Let me tell you the story on this body, and it's condition.   I bought the complete guitar new in March of 2007, with the ding on the corner of the body, near the jack plate.  The guitar had been bumped while on display at the store where I purchased it, and the owner told me he'd have his guitar tech repair the ding.  I took the guitar in several times for repair, and each time it came home, I got another excuse for why the ding wasn't repaired correctly or why it got worse.  After a while, I just said never mind.  I liked the guitar for it's sound, and the ding only makes it easy to identify, so leave it alone.  The guitar tech eventually lost his job over my guitar and a few others he botched, so sorry for him.  From my experienced ear, the John Mayer Signature strats are the best sounding Fender Strats I've ever heard.  This body and guitar had limited playing time from me because I'm a Les Paul guy, and if I play 30 songs at a gig, 25 will be played on the Les Paul.  Still, when you need that Strat sound, you can't get it with a Les Paul.  This select alder body is one of the ingredients that makes these guitars sound so good.  You don't have to be a Mayer fan to appreciate what he and Fender created with this signature line.  I've heard more than one person say these Mayer Strats sound like they wish their SRV models did.  If you're after that SRV or Hendrix tone, these Mayer strats deliver that super strat tone.  So here's one of those great Mayer bodies, with a slight imperfection.  It would be easily fixed by a qualified finish person, I just didn't have the patience to seek that person out.  Other than the ding, this body is in very nice shape.  I've seen these bodies on ebay with 'buy it now' prices close to $700, but I prefer to sell this in an auction, and start the bidding at a reasonable price.  Someone may get a real steal.  But who deserves it more than a guitar player?  The complete guitar was purchased and warranty card registered with Fender under serial number SE02923.  Good luck, and thanks for looking.
