The PRS SE John Mayer Silver Sky in Gold Spark is a stunning reinterpretation of the classic 1960s three-pickup solidbody guitar, crafted in collaboration with John Mayer himself. This model combines vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern playability, making it a versatile choice for guitarists seeking a rich, expressive tone and a comfortable playing experience. The eye-catching Gold Spark finish and colour-matched sparkle truss rod cover ensure you’ll stand out onstage while enjoying a guitar designed for both style and substance.

Built with a lightweight poplar body, the SE Silver Sky delivers tonal characteristics akin to alder but with a slightly more pronounced upper midrange, offering clarity and presence across all your playing styles. The maple neck with a 635JM profile and rosewood fingerboard featuring an 8.5-inch radius strikes the perfect balance between vintage feel and modern comfort. This setup encourages fluid bends, articulate runs, and robust chord voicings, making it ideal for everything from delicate melodies to gritty blues rhythms.

Equipped with a trio of PRS 635JM “S” single-coil pickups, the SE Silver Sky offers a full-bodied, warm tone with glassy highs that avoid harshness. These pickups respond dynamically to your playing, delivering clear articulation whether plugged into a tube amp, solid-state rig, or modelling unit. Complementing the vintage-inspired sound is a modern steel 2-point tremolo system that provides smooth action, reliable tuning stability, and easy adjustments, enhancing your expressive capabilities without compromising performance.

Classic Meets Contemporary Neck Design

The SE Silver Sky’s 635JM neck profile combined with an 8.5-inch fingerboard radius offers a playing surface that is flatter than traditional vintage guitars but still retains a rounded feel. This design makes it easier to execute expressive bends and complex chord shapes, delivering a natural and comfortable playing experience across the entire fretboard.

Dynamic 635JM “S” Single-Coil Pickups

These pickups capture the essence of early ’60s American electric guitars with a warm, round tone and sparkling highs. They provide a dynamic response that suits a wide range of genres, from blues and rock to pop, ensuring your playing is always clear and full of character.

Lightweight Poplar Body

The poplar body offers tonal qualities similar to alder but with a slightly more pronounced upper midrange, giving the guitar a bright and articulate voice. Its lightweight nature also makes it comfortable to play for extended periods, whether on stage or in the studio.

Modern 2-Point Tremolo System

The steel 2-point tremolo system delivers smooth and reliable performance with excellent tuning stability. Its modern design allows for easy adjustments and expressive playing, enhancing the versatility of this vintage-inspired instrument.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
