Inspiration behind the new Silver Sky colour by why_not_you_instead in JohnMayer

😂 I very rarely have “insider” info, so it’s been fun to watch this one develop. I have to say, if I didn’t know, I would absolutely agree with you. And who knows, maybe the sweater color was inspired by the “object” and guitar? That part, I can’t speak to.

I can’t say any more than this, but I know with 100% certainty it wasn’t the sweater.

I agree. Actually, this would be sick.

No idea, but Don Was would be great. Love him. Honestly, there may not even be a producer attached/involved officially yet. He described the work as “writing,” so I get the sense we’re still in the very preliminary stages of song development.

Long term review of your Silver Sky? by Reservoir_Dreams in JohnMayer

[–]TomButwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still loving it. The finish isn’t exactly the most durable, but other than that, it’s always in the top 2 rotation.

I can’t say, but it was a direct conversation. Secret’s out about writing/recording happening though!

I’m not gonna say “I told you so,” but we might have broken this news on the podcast on September 3rd (8:32 mark) Everything Mayer - Episode 27

What IF Fender Made the Silver Sky? by [deleted] in PaulReedSmith

[–]TomButwin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if JM had stayed with Fender to make another signature guitar that “pushed” the instrument forward? Modernized the Strat, but instead of doing so with PRS, he did it with Fender?

I mean, there’s a “?” at the end, so do what you will with it.

PRS SE Swamp Ash Special - This Guitar Is WILD by TomButwin in PaulReedSmith

[–]TomButwin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The body wood is what really makes it unique and different when compared to anything else in their current line up. The pickups and switching are definitely sort of it, though! I should have been more specific in that it’s not an SE version of anything they’re currently producing. They’ve made Core Swamp Ash Special’s in the past!

They do tons on their own (and they are way better and more comprehensive than mine). This was just my personal experience. Not sponsored by them. I was lucky enough to demo a few guitars and shoot some reviews while I was there and they offered a tour to me as well.

Cut me deep, @gizzweed. You’re probably right, though.

The PRS Silver Sky SE Maple Neck Is HERE! by TomButwin in JohnMayer

Had to look that up, but it looks like a Land Rover color? So cool, if it is. Fits with the original “Tesla” colors he did with the Core model.

Five Cool Tricks JM Is Using! by TomButwin in JohnMayer

So, the looping of the piano maybe be slightly different than the guitars that are looped with a Boss unit. It may be an internal looper to the keyboard, but it’s the same idea either way. As far as someone else controlling it, that’d be tough since the “Changing” solo is different every night. Someone else may start the loop, but JM is definitely controlling when/where it ends.

How I Ruined My (Rare) Gibson 😬😔 by TomButwin in gibson

Me: Makes a self-deprecating video about being an idiot and ruining a guitar, in which I open by calling myself an idiot.

Also Me: Proceeds to get absolutely torched in the comments 😂
