John Mayer - a true legend

Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. John discovered a strong passion for music with a searing ambition to perform. And from a very young age, showed major signs of intelligence. Enter 1985. Back to the Future arrived on our screens. Marty McFly wears a vintage red Gibson ES-345. Shocking his onscreen crowd with sonic madness, while exhilarating John in the real world. That searing vintage tone memorised him, that immersive nature of rock 'n' roll and old-school blues sent chills down his spine. Magic. And he felt it through every inch of his body. His curiosity was sparked, and his veins oozed creativity. So it was only natural to take that inner sonic fire, and set it alight.

After two years of straight practice and guitar dedication, John then started gigging while still in high school. But at the young age of 17, John experienced personal trauma, leaving him with many demons to face. Although that only made his musical passion stronger. So he put his pen to paper and wrote words like never before. With a new lease for life, the songwriter in John was born. Today, John holds a legendary reputation. Hailed by many across the world for his distinctive style, John has achieved multi-platform status from albums such as ''Room for Squares'' and ''Heavier Things''. A true blues master himself, worthy of standing strong alongside icons of the past.

"It's been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favourite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic.
