PRS John Mayer SE Silver Sky Maple Electric Guitar in Nylon Blue is an electric guitar.

Description

The John Mayer SE Silver Sky is an affordable version of the modern blues-pop master’s best-selling PRS signature guitar that was first introduced in 2018. Strongly resembling Mayer’s USA model with its elegant double-cutaway body, inverted PRS headstock and trio of single-coil pickups — the PRS SE Silver Sky Maple is a versatile workhorse designed to provide similarly exquisite tones and familiar playability, but at a far more accessible price-point!

Key Features

  • Poplar Body — Often likened to Alder, Poplar is comparably balanced in sound with a slightly lighter feel.
  • Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
  • 25.5″ Scale Length — Provides optimal string tension; letting you dig in for funky “New Light” style chords while allowing for soulful, expressive string bends.
  • Maple Neck with Original ‘635JM’ Carve — Based on the same custom neck shape used for Mayer’s USA Silver Sky. According to Lee Anderton, PRS “nailed” it! Features a satin-style finish for a smooth and natural playing feel.
  • 8.5″ Fingerboard Radius — Offers a slightly flatter and more contemporary feel than the vintage-inspired 7.25″ radius on the USA Silver Sky model.
  • 635JM “S” Pickups — Designed to capture the sound of the single-coils in the American-made Silver Sky, these pickups “bark and sing” according to PRS!
  • 5-Way Pickup Switching — Provides a wide sonic palette; letting you isolate each pickup or combine the middle single-coil with the bridge/neck pickups for those classic “in-between” tones.
  • 2-Point Steel Tremolo — A reliable bridge that enables smooth vibrato whenever inspiration strikes.
  • Vintage-Style Tuners — Possess a classy, traditional look and allow for precise string pitching.
  • Included PRS SE Gig Bag — High-quality design ensures solid protection for the instrument.

Maple

Maple is a dense, hard tonewood commonly used in guitar and bass construction for necks, fingerboards, and sometimes bodies or tops. It is known for its strength, stability, and smooth playing feel, making it a popular choice for instruments that need durability and consistent performance.

Tonally, maple contributes a bright, clear sound with strong attack and good note definition. It emphasises high-end clarity and tight low end, which helps notes cut through a mix, and is often paired with warmer woods to create a balanced overall tone.
