      Hi Dave. Can you confirm the pickups in john’s Strat? I remember hearing they were SD but I read something you said John May have been mistaken and they were in fact mid 2000 fender stock? Thanks in advance! 🙏

It would also be cool to see you do a replica of John Mayer’s 1964 sunburst strat. Maybe you could combine the videos and document the research and then the actual project. Thanks!
