Blended from circuit-archetype lineage, dynamic feel, tone-signal overlap and tone-vector distance — the tone vector itself is derived from editorial description text, not a measured acoustic signal, so this reflects how similarly the catalog copy describes the two, not a lab measurement.

Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Fender John Mayer Signature Stratocaster was built around a custom 'Big Dipper' pickup set whose middle position is deliberately scooped in the mids, producing the hollowed quack Mayer used for clean rhythm work. It pairs 1954-style body contours with a thick 1960s neck profile and a five-way switch. Discontinued after Mayer moved to PRS.
Tanglewood Memphis AS-35 is a semi-hollow body electric guitar (ES-335 style copy) with dual humbucking pickups, set neck for enhanced sustain, rosewood fingerboard, and double-cutaway design. Made in Korea, the AS-35 delivers warm, resonant tone suitable for jazz, rock, and versatile playing styles.
