What Really Happened To Mayer's TRY! Strat? 

Great vid! I actually didn’t realize there was a continuum guitar until this vid. It looks like that one was also donated (according to the first result on google lol). Would be interesting to hear you discuss that one too 🙏

My dude thanks so much for the shout - this guitar means a lot to me as it does a lot of JM Trio fans. Hope we can solve the mystery of who ended up with this guitar one day!!!

I seem to remember there was 2 at the time... One did get given away (Which JM may well have played on the launch weekend), I think John still has one... I could be wrong, long time ago now lol.

5:08 I was really hoping a "hopefully one day I'll get to TRY it out in person" with some emphasis on the "try" just for the sake of the pun.

Remember seeing that video in 2007.

How many times did he say "Tip of the hat to Jimi Hendrix'?

I remember back in the day that this was given away. I can't remember what forum I saw that on though. I think the wildest part was there was a grey beanie in the gear candy compartment of the case which looked strangely similar to the one he wore in the famous Two-Rock Slow Dancing clip. It's been years so my memory may be foggy on that but I seem to remember a picture of the guitar and also a grey beanie in the case. What a cool guitar!

I really want to know what happened to the black one

What clip is that where he's vamping on the minor 3rd over a 2nd in C? That dissonance is so cool. Would love to see that full clip.

Somewhere on some guitar message board there was a post by the winner of the Try! Stratocaster not long after the contest ended. I can't remember if it was MSM, or somewhere else.

I love the tone of this guitar but I’ve always though that it probably the ugliest strat I’ve ever seen, that continuum one is up there as well! I understand why people love them though!

Dude you just "over hype" everything....Everything is your favorite, everything is iconic, everything is your dream this or that

The winner did post on the musicians forum on msm! Probably in the archive somewhere. Maybe some of the older members who still post might remember
