PRS is a new generation of standard guitar brands, rivaling Fender and Gibson.
The beautiful guitars they produce are renowned for being used by world-renowned musicians such as Carlos Santana, John Mayer, Orianthi Panagaris, DAITA, and PABLO.
This Silver Sky is the signature model of John Mayer, one of the world's three greatest guitarists today.
John Mayer and PRS Guitars president Paul Reed Smith spent two years researching and developing this guitar, which was brought to market.
The design is based on the traditional double-cutaway guitar beloved by countless artists worldwide, but it is packed with unique ideas throughout.
This model is part of the SE series, which offers high quality through superior quality control while maintaining a more affordable price.
The body is made of poplar.
Lightweight and offering a well-balanced sound, poplar is used by many manufacturers as an alternative to alder, a wood typically used in electric guitars.
The neck is made of maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood.
Both are traditional woods that are essential to the history of electric guitars.
The neck shape is a 635JM shape.
This unique neck shape was arrived at through extensive testing and meticulous research into the shapes of vintage 1963-64 guitars beloved by John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith.
The scale is a traditional 25.5-inch.
This scale is slightly longer than PRS's standard 25-inch scale.
The headstock is a reverse headstock based on PRS's unique design.
This is a Silver Sky exclusive design tailored to John Mayer's playing style.
The tuning machines are traditional Kluson-type machine heads mounted asymmetrically.
The bridge uses an original two-point support tremolo unit.
This allows for smooth arm movements and minimizes tuning errors when using the arm.
Per John Mayer's insistence, the bridge is shipped in a flush-mounted setting.
While it's not compatible with arm-up, it transmits string vibrations directly to the body, producing a tighter sound than a floating setting.
The pickups are 635JM "S" pickups, exclusive to the SE SILVER SKY.
This is the SE version of a single-coil pickup inspired by the sound of vintage guitars made between 1963 and 1964.
Despite being a single-coil pickup, it produces a well-balanced sound without excessive harshness in the high frequencies.
It's not that brightness is lost, but by cutting out unnecessary frequencies, it gives the impression of a more modern and refined version of the traditional single-coil sound.
The knobs, jack plate, and other hardware are designed exclusively by PRS.
These unique touches add to the traditional look and are also appealing.
This is a masterpiece that combines the feel of a vintage guitar with the high playability you expect from PRS.
We can confidently say that this guitar delivers quality that exceeds its price.
We recommend it for anyone looking for a practical single-coil guitar.
