A "favorite" 251 was used for vocals on Love Is a Four Letter Word, as stated by producer Joe Chiccarelli in this July 26, 2012 Universal Audio blog interview.

It was his favorite Telefunken 251 through a Sunset Sound mic preamp into a Universal Audio 1176 Limiter. He’s used 1176s for many, many years. He has them at home and in his studio. So we set up what he normally has at home at Sunset Sound for him to work on.

Often when we mixed there was a plug-in on [Jason Mraz’s] vocal, whether it was the Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier, or an 1176 Classic Limiter, any additional compression came from plug-ins. Then, maybe some EQ for air on the top of his vocal. Jason’s got a lot of beautiful air and tone to his voice, so often I would enhance that with a plug-in.

In the attached photo from Taylor’s Instagram story, Taylor shares a picture Jason Mraz posted on his Instagram page of him with the bass on stage (https://www.instagram.com/jason_mraz/p/CXuVhJyunrV/?utm_medium=copy_link), and Taylor specifically names it the “GS Mini-e Bass”.

In a video by Taylor Guitars titled "Jason Mraz on His First Taylor - Taylor Sessions," Jason Mraz confirms at the 0:14 mark that the Taylor 612ce was his first Taylor guitar.

Jason Mraz frequently uses the Taylor NS72ce, which he credits with having "nurtured a whole album’s worth of songs" and allowing him to perform in a way that "felt like it was part of me, it was a part of the energy that I wanted to put out there." This guitar features a back and sides made of Indian rosewood and a top of Western Red cedar. It also includes a personalized fretboard inlay in Mexican cypress, featuring the phrase "Be Love" below a design of a triangle within a circle, mirroring a tattoo Mraz got in July 2009. He explains, "I chose this symbol simply because I want to be whole in mind, body and soul... So, it’s basically a practice of unconditional love, a practice of unabashed generosity."
