View Full DescriptionVintage-inspired design
The PRS John Mayer Silver Sky is a masterful blend of vintage styling and modern craftsmanship. Its alder body with a flat top and high-gloss nitro finish echoes the timeless single-coil guitars that shaped decades of music, while offering the benefits of a brand-new, precision-built instrument. Small bird inlays on the rosewood fretboard add an elegant PRS signature touch, setting this guitar apart visually. The meticulous attention to detail ensures that the Silver Sky feels familiar to fans of classic instruments yet offers enhanced durability and refined aesthetics.
Comfortable playability
Every aspect of the Silver Sky’s neck has been tailored to provide a natural and effortless playing experience. Featuring a bolt-on maple neck with a 635JM-R carve, the guitar combines a slim, comfortable profile with exceptional stability. The vintage-correct 7.25" radius and 25.5" scale length create a smooth playing surface that excels for chord work, bending, and fast runs alike. This focus on ergonomics means you can enjoy extended sessions without fatigue, while PRS’s expert fretwork guarantees a consistent and buzz-free response across the fingerboard.
Articulate single-coil tone
Equipped with three PRS 635JM single-coil pickups, the Silver Sky offers a versatile tonal palette that ranges from warm, rounded lows to bright, bell-like highs. Each pickup has been carefully voiced to ensure a balanced response, avoiding harshness even at higher treble settings. The 5-way blade switch allows for a variety of pickup combinations, making it easy to explore tones suited for blues, funk, pop, or rock. From smooth, glassy cleans to cutting leads, these pickups deliver musicality and clarity in every note.
Reliable hardware and setup
The Silver Sky is built with premium hardware designed for consistent performance. Its PRS steel tremolo with Gen III knife-edge screws is flush-mounted, providing greater body contact for improved resonance while ensuring smooth pitch modulation. Vintage-style closed-back locking tuners with unplated brass shafts offer excellent tuning stability, while a bone nut and PRS’s dual-action truss rod enhance reliability under changing conditions. Strung with PRS Signature 10–46 strings and tuned to E standard, the guitar is set up for professional-level play straight out of the case, complemented by a high-quality PRS gig bag for protection and convenience.
