Description
The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. Combining reverence for 1963 and 1964 instruments with contemporary references, the PRS Silver Sky delivers the warmth and familiarity of a well-loved guitar with the precision of a brand-new instrument.
Vintage-inspired Neck and Fretboard
The Silver Sky has a maple neck and fretboard designed to Mayer´s custom profile, providing a comfortable and fast playing experience. Inlaid with iconic PRS bird inlays, the fretboard is loaded with 22 frets. A 25.5" scale length and 7.25" radius capture the feel of Mayer´s favorite vintage guitars.
Specially-voiced 635JM Pickups
The Silver Sky features 635JM single-coil pickups meticulously spec´d by Mayer to achieve a full, round tone with smooth highs. Plug into a tube amp and be rewarded with glassy tones, lush harmonics and outstanding note clarity and definition across the frequency spectrum.
Steel Tremolo and Tuning Stability
The Silver Sky incorporates a steel tremolo optimized for subtle pitch modulation. Set to only go down in pitch per Mayer´s request, the tremolo´s increased contact with the body boosts the guitar´s natural resonance and the signal-to-noise ratio of the pickups. Vintage-style locking tuners with a modified headstock angle keep the Silver Sky in tune through enthusiastic whammy bar use and heavy bends.
Premium Appointments and included Gig Bag
High-quality components like a bone nut, molded metal jack plate and retooled knobs reflect the Silver Sky´s boutique pedigree. PRS´s double action truss rod is accessible at the headstock for easy neck adjustments. A premium gig bag is included, ideal for transporting this investment-grade instrument.
