Product Description

The PRS Silver Sky is an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar where every detail adds up and sets this guitar apart from the pack and the past. The result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, the Silver Sky is based off years of development. Incorporating Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements of instruments from 1963 and 1964 with an eye toward modern references, the PRS Silver Sky delivers the warmth and familiarity of an old guitar with the finesse of a brand-new instrument. The Silver Sky is also available in wide variety of vibrant color finishes, which means you’ll be able to find the one that visually speaks to you!

“It’s been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like.” – John Mayer

Some of the more distinctive specifications of the PRS Silver Sky are the headstock shape, tuners, bridge, pickups, and neck and fretboard options. The headstock shape is based on Paul Reed Smith’s trademark design but inverted both to accommodate Mayer’s playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier.

The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with the PRS locking design. The steel tremolo takes the patented PRS design and incorporates Gen III knife-edge screws. Setup is flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch, the bridge’s increased contact with the body allows the guitar itself to be acoustically louder, which in turn improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never “ice-picky” or brash.

Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a molded metal jack plate (curved to make plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free), retooled knobs, and PRS’s double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use).

A PRS premium gig bag is included.
