Can you get the pickups they use on his Sig Strats?

The man was too fast, and his style was all his own. Kinda like a Texas Jimi Hendrix.

I'll tell ya, I don't care for his music, but as far as actual playing goes, John Mayer is pretty good. I know SRV was a big influence on him.

 

[D_one and done]

1. YouTube - Erykah Badu - Green Eyes

2. YouTube - Amy Winehouse Back to Black

3. YouTube - ex factor

4. YouTube - Samurai Champloo - Who's Theme

Mayer has some skills. i don't really listen to him either but he has talent. i've been playing with .14-.58 gauge strings lately, heavy like SRV used, and man you are so right. stevie was a monster. for him to be able to move his fingers that fast with those heavy ass strings speaks for itself. it took me over 2 weeks to learn "Lenny" with those damn strings lol. i dunno if his pickups are available, my samarium noiseless cobalts are pretty badass though. i've come to realize lately it's all about pickup height, heavy strings, and a tube screamer
