At 19:12 in this video John Mayer can be seen using a cutaway Paul Reed Smith Acoustic guitar. It seems to be a Private Stock guitar because it has the large eagle inlay in the headstock not available in any any of the SE Angelus guitars.

Obviously John Mayer is a Martin musician and plays Martin guitars elsewhere in the video but because this is an event put on by Paul Reed Smith it makes sense he would play a PRS acoustic at some point.
