PRS is a new-generation standard guitar brand, 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 model 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 look is based on the traditional double-cutaway guitar beloved by countless artists worldwide, but it is packed with original ideas throughout.
The body is made of alder, and the neck and fingerboard are made of maple.
All of these are traditional woods essential to the history of electric guitars.
The finish is a traditional lacquer.
The finish is extremely thin, meeting PRS's strict specifications.
The neck shape is a 635JM-R shape.
This unique neck shape was developed after extensive testing and meticulous research into the shapes of vintage 1963-64 guitars beloved by John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith.
The maple fretboard model also features a slightly thinner neck profile than the Silver Sky with its rosewood fretboard.
The fretboard radius is 7.25, giving it a more Fender-like feel than the SE model, giving it a vintage guitar-like feel.
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 design based on PRS's unique design.
The Silver Sky features a unique design tailored to John Mayer's playing style.
The tuning machines are vintage-style Kluson tuning machines, with locking tuning machines mounted asymmetrically.
The bridge features an original six-point tremolo unit.
Furthermore, at John Mayer's request, the bridge is shipped in a flush-mounted setting.
While it is not compatible with arm-up, it transmits string vibrations directly to the body, producing a tighter sound than a floating setting.
The Silver Sky is equipped with 635JM pickups, designed specifically for the Silver Sky.
These single-coil pickups are modeled after the sound of vintage guitars made between 1963 and 1964.
They have the brightness of a single-coil pickup, but produce a well-balanced sound without excessive high-end harshness.
The brightness is not lost, but by cutting out unnecessary frequencies, the traditional single-coil sound seems to have been refined and made more modern.
The unique attack of the maple fingerboard is also a major attraction.
The knobs, jack plate, and other hardware are designed exclusively by PRS.
The traditional look is enhanced by this unique touch.
As an aside, the guitar is of such high quality that even if John Mayer were to forget his instrument, he could simply buy it from a store and use it for a live performance.
This is a masterpiece that combines the feel of a vintage guitar with the high playability you expect from PRS.
If you're looking for a high-quality, practical single-coil guitar, this is a must-have.
