Inspired by John Mayer’s unmistakable tone, the Eternal Ozone John Mayer Tribute Pickup Set was carefully designed to capture the smooth, balanced voice and effortless musicality that defines his sound. From articulate, shimmering cleans to fluid, vocal-like overdriven leads, these pickups deliver the rich character, scooped mids, and sweet clarity that Mayer fans crave.
Whether you’re chasing the introspective blues lines of his early work or the mature, refined tones of his modern recordings, the Ozone Set puts that expressive, touch-sensitive voice right at your fingertips.
Crafted for Mayer-Inspired Tone
Achieving John Mayer’s signature sound requires a very specific blend of design elements, and the Ozone Set brings them all together. We combined custom staggered Alnico 5 magnets for smooth string balance with a unique wire gauge and hand-guided scatter winding to create the wide, scooped midrange that gives these pickups their instantly recognisable character.
The slightly reduced mid push, combined with sweet, open highs and a full but not overpowering low end, creates a pickup set that’s equally at home in clean, atmospheric playing or subtle, overdriven textures — with note separation, air, and articulation that shines through in every position.
Calibrated Set for Seamless Transitions
Each pickup is individually voiced for its position, ensuring a balanced tonal curve across all five switch positions. Whether you’re playing neck-position lead lines, glassy middle pickup cleans, or the classic Strat “cluck” in positions 2 and 4, the Ozone Set delivers consistent output and character — with smooth transitions between pickups.
