From Room for Squares (2001). Room for Squares is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter and guitarist John Mayer. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for John Mayer's other songs from Room for Squares, stands in. Keep the amp clean, just at the edge of breakup, and use the neck and middle pickups together. Published transcriptions put it in drop D.
Common Questions About the "Your Body Is a Wonderland" Tone
What guitar did John Mayer use on "Your Body Is a Wonderland"?
The guitar on "Your Body Is a Wonderland" (released 2001) isn't documented; the Fender Stevie Ray Vaughan Signature Stratocaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: neck + middle (position 2) on the guitar. The track is in Drop D (D A D G B E), so retune before you dial anything in.
What amp settings does "Your Body Is a Wonderland" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 2, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6, Presence 5, Volume 5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "Your Body Is a Wonderland" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Your Body Is a Wonderland" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
