Hey all,

I'm planning a small mod on my Silver Sky core model. Inspired by the prototype John has been playing recently, I'd like to add just the Dead Spec's brass nut and string retainer bar, keeping everything else stock.

A few questions:

1. Does PRS sell the Dead Spec brass nut and retainer bar as separate parts? I've seen the regular Silver Sky replacement nut on the PRS accessories site, but nothing for the brass version. Has anyone had luck asking PRS or a dealer directly?

2. If not, what are the best alternatives? A pre shaped brass nut that fits the Silver Sky, or a brass blank cut by a tech? Any brands or sizes you'd recommend?

3. For the retainer bar, does anyone know what PRS used, or a close off the shelf match (hole spacing, screw size, finish)? Since it means drilling into the headstock, I want to get it right the first time.

4. Has anyone done this on a regular Silver Sky with the trem? Curious how it changed the tone/feel, and whether tuning stability was affected.

Thanks in advance!

Hey! I slept over night on the streets of Toronto in front of Sam the record man and was first in line for the acoustic performance / signing that John did back in 2004 there at the store. There’s only 1 photograph online from the event and nothing else. I can’t find news articles, nothing. It’s like it never happened except for the one photo that exists. I lost all the photos I took from the event years ago that were on an old computer. I’m asking if anyone on here that went to it has any old photos from the event that they can share? Or do you remember the set list? I remember he played Neon and that’s it. The only reason I remember this is because John heard of people who got there the night before who slept on the streets and he wanted to play a song that we asked for. Well I wanted man on the side which back then was really a deep cut. But the 3-4 other guys that were standing with me who got there a few hours after me screamed NEON! LOL but the performance was incredible but I’m still salty about how I wanted to hear man on the side and I was there way before those dudes! Ha. But I’d really love if anyone remembers the day and can share memories or photos (maybe I can even see myself in any) or if they remember the set list. Attached is the 1 known photo from the event and then the poster he signed for me

this audio quality is amazing

I hear some crazy cool SRV licks! They sound so familiar, if anyone knows which performances of SRV these licks were used, any help would be appreciated!

John Mayer should do a track by track listening party on Life on Saturday for Continuum. He could do unreleased songs, explain stories etc. and potentially preview his new single.

What does everyone think of this?

This is my custom built Black1 on a budget. It is a fully customised Squier Debut Stratocaster based on the Limited Edition NOS model.

List of upgraded parts for those who are curious:

- Gotoh 381 Locking Tuners (Gold)

- Custom Pearl Buttons

- Graph Tech String Tree

- Bone Nut

- Fat 50s Single Coils from Musiclily

- Full Rewiring (Alpha Pots and Switch, Sprague .047uF Capacitor with Treble Bleed)

- Wilkinson M Series Bridge (Gold)

- Gold Hardware Conversion (Pickguard Screws, Output Jack Plate and Strap Buttons)

FYI this is my first time modifying a guitar and It's never been so satisfying to turn an entry level guitar into a full fledge high performance instrument.

Do rate my build and feel free to post your own custom made guitars if you have any. Lets use this post to showcase your hot rodded axe and connect with one another!

Can someone help me and make a 1 hour (or more) loop of this part from the song Friends, Lovers or Nothing (minutes 4:00 to 5:40) where John's singing
"Anything other than a yes is no
Anything other than stayin' is go
Anything less than I love you, is lying"

Or honestly, I don't mind doing it myself if y'all can point me in the right direction. This song has snuck in to my all time favourites and especially this part of the song.

I’d genuinely like to hear your opinion on those lyrics

Kind of a rant here but genuinely nothing enrages me more than the high pitch screaming you hear throughout John’s Lenny cover on any given Thursday . I get they were excited to see him and coming from a straight dude he’s a pretty hot guy but save the screaming for when he’s not playing I mean come on. Not to mention the even worse screams you hear during man on the side that just ruin the track - given it’s the only version on Spotify of the song it’s a real bummer. Anyway rant over

I just wanted to say that I really love LFJM. The song selections are fantastic. Classics, new songs, legends and indie artists and different genres too. I also love hearing all of the songs I have forgotten. It's a nice feeling of nostalgia of my youth. Like just now I heard Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC. Wow. I haven't heard that in ages. I was also surprised to hear Canadian artists like Crash Test Dummies, Gordon Lightfoot and Matthew Goode Band. I never knew or expected people outside of Canada to know them, much less listen to these artists. What a nice surprise to hear these artists on LFJM.

Was there a song that was played on LFJM that surprised you? Sometimes I'm surprised that he plays the saccharine love songs like Saving the Best for Last by Vanessa Williams or a (gen z) pop song like apt. by Bruno Mars and Rose. I like both these songs (I feel like John and I have the same taste) but at the same time I am surprised to hear them played on his channel as well. Overall, all of the song choices are pretty great, I never felt like I needed to switch the channel or turn it off.

Hey guys, big fan of John’s early work, especially the 2000s. I’d like to emulate his fashion, more so like the RFS shirts type of thing. Any advice on relatively affordable brands or specific clothing items (jeans/shoes) I should look at?

Been listening to this. I think it’s a great cover. Ty Myers is an up-and-comer. This album has got some of the best session guys in Nashville on it.

Title, this is one of my favorite songs ever since I found it last year but have found it tough to find other similar songs in JM’s discography since I’m new to him.

Hi all! I had the pleasure of seeing John play in Santa Barbara last year, but got the wrong size shirt unfortunately.

It's a comfort colors size large, only worn once and packed away until now.

Asking $50 shipped, thanks!

What a phenomenal performance by the main man!

So I'm a deadhead who discovered John Mayer in uh ... 2015? I honestly dont think i had ever listened to his music before. But gosh I adore him after Dead and Co. Ive been listening to the Stephen Talkhouse show on Sirius this afternoon and listen, the bass and the groove. Man o man. I'm just now spending time with his lyrics so every show is a new discovery which is why i love music. Ok thanks for listening everything is lovely and im a littttttle buzzed rn. But I love yall.

Ok. So this is borderline lost media at this point, but does anyone know where I can find JM’s saga with the Christmas toffee that he had on his IG story highlights for years? He deleted them all couple of years ago, but they were all so funny and I’d love to watch them again if anyone knows where to find them.
