- John Mayer's 1963 Fiesta Red strat, a guitar that is relatively little talked about or known. Today we will talk about this incredible vintage Fender Stratocaster and that it might have possibly served as a guitar that helped influence the design of the PRS Silver Sky.

Loving this type of series of John’s guitars keep em coming Justin👊🏽
Fantastic strat, love the color. And great video
Such a beautiful guitar and some awesome history of it🎸🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻
Would love to see more of these story of john's guitar videos very informative and interesting great fun to watch!
Always love your videos. Thanks for keeping on, keeping on!
I actually saw that listing, crazy to think JM bought it. It’s in the right hands for sure.
I have a Candy Apple Red but can't deny Fiesta Red really looks cool. I remember the one John Mayer had with the insta vid you were showing
Please do a video on john Mayer's 1961 hardtail white Stratocaster
I was at that San Antonio show! What a coincidence that I'm currently looking for a fiesta red strat lol.
Pretty cool!
Admittedly I got a 50’s inspired MIM strat after seeing him do that instagram stream and thinking how much I like the fiesta red. I should play it more now that I see this!
I for one am hoping for a story about John's Hendrix strat purchase! Great job Justin!
Another great video Justin. Per usual looks like John had the switch in the neck pickup position in those videos. Do you know if John ever uses any other switch position other than the neck position? thanks Justin
I’m v lucky, I have a 2010 CS 63 (Abby’s) Dakota Red, Rosewood neck. Sweet soloing spot is definitely 9-15 frets, man! 😍
I was at the Dallas show and have a cool video where he mentions it still has a 3 way switch.
Wow. Thanks for sharing your memory.
@ryanz71 would you be able to send me that video? Would love to hear it
As I remember PRS's interview, Paul Reed Smith said silver sky is the result from reverse engineer of john's '63 and '64 guitar. But I'm not sure. Maybe PRS said john's guitar is btw '63 and '64. English is not my first language. Maybe I got it wrong or my memory is twisted. Anyway, thanks for the great video again!
Hey Justin where did you get the picture that says greetings from Tampa ? I can’t find it anywhere 🙏🏻
"Wait John owned a 1963 Fiesta Red Strat?"
Oh maybe this is the '63' in the '635' of the Silver Sky.
Actually, 635 basically means 64, since Fender changed specs and pickups only mid 64. Mr. Mayer has a early 64, so yeah, 635. ALTHOUGH, this is the official story: I would highly doubt John didn't get influenced in the slightest by a guitar he had for that long. Sorry if I'm over clarifying 😅
@@henrykobee Paul Smith said during an Anderton's video, the 635 pickup are in-between "a 63 pickup and a 64 pickup". It is feasible to theorize that elements of the Mayer 64 and Fiesta Red 63 went into the Silver Sky development.
@@ThePandaProcrastinates yes, indeed. From what I've heard, I can tell you that they were inspired by John's sunburst 64 strat, which pickups are an in-between themselves. Pretty sure the 63 wasn't left out, sine we know he was inspired by the Monterey and his Black 1. Pretty sure the Fiesta red was involved, but I'm not sure the pickups themselves were inspired by that guitar
Great video, I'd love a video about the Clapton 335 reissue. I think I can speak for everybody here: in 2010, for 4 minutes, everybody sang Ain't no Sunshine... Right under the brightest sun ❤
Absolutely!
The 63 would also have the 7.25" radius I believe. Which is also what the SS has, contrary to the 9.5" that most current day Fender strats have. I've seen a few more Fender custom shop strats now have 7.25", so maybe John is still influencing Fender? :)
day 3 of asking for the Everybody Wants To Rule The World tone overviewww
I'm making this one!
You mean the one red strat Matty Healy uses live? 🥸
