The PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Electric Guitar in Faded Black Tee Satin Rosewood Fretboard is the result of a close collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and Mayer, who have combined trademark PRS build quality and design with elements of his favourite vintage guitars. This incredible guitar features a near-total departure from the familiar PRS blueprint, including reconfigured electronics, a new neck shape, and of course, a completely redesigned aesthetic! Let’s take a closer look…
John Mayer’s Specifications
Paul Reed Smith has been working with John Mayer for several years now; giving you an array of different colours and fretboards to choose from. Stunning woods, world-class electronics and several highly detailed performance tweaks resulted in one of PRS’ most versatile (and exclusive) guitars to date.
The Silver Sky has been designed from the ground up, taking influence from some of Mayer’s most prized vintage guitars, his incredible playing ability, and his desire for something entirely new! Smith took these elements and tweaked them to the finest detail, with regular input from Mayer during the design process.
Premium Construction
Several appointments echo the designs of Mayer’s unique ’60s guitars that he’s extensively toured over the years, with PRS combining Mayer’s extensive knowledge with their incredible trademark style and design. These include the use of Alder as the body wood, providing a brilliantly balanced tone that’s rich and pronounced.
They’ve also employed a combination of Maple and Rosewood for the neck and fretboard respectively. This adds a brilliant sparkling sustain while delivering a smooth resonance to the low-mids and bass frequencies, not to mention silky-smooth playability. You’ve got 22 PRS acoustic frets with a 25.5″ scale length and a 7.25″ fretboard radius, with the aptly named 635JM profile. This is a truly vintage-style neck while being unmistakably PRS!
PRS enthusiasts will notice that their trademark headstock has been reversed on this model; this is due to Mayer’s need to have extra access on the underside of the fretboard by the nut. By reversing the headstock, this access was made possible, while also being a unique design feature to boot!
World-class Electronics
The Silver Sky is triple-loaded with 635JM single coil pickups, carefully wired with Mayer’s requirements in mind. The result is a colourful tone that could be described as ’round’ or ‘full’, perhaps not what you might expect when seeing them for the first time. They also deliver a tamed, responsive high-end that is pronounced and clear without being intrusive.
To control the pickup configuration, you’ve got a single volume knob, two tone controls and a 5-way blade pickup selector. Combine these controls with the 635JM and you have an extremely colourful tonal palette at your disposal. Have everything turned up full and select the neck pickup for
