PRS is a new-generation standard guitar brand, rivaling Fender and Gibson.
The beautiful guitars they produce are renowned as favorites of top musicians around the world, including 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 finally released.
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, the neck is maple, and the fingerboard is rosewood.
All of these are traditional woods that are 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.
This unique neck shape was arrived at through extensive testing and meticulous research into the shapes of 1963-64 vintage guitars beloved by John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith.
The fingerboard radius is 7.25, giving it a closer Fender feel than the SE model, delivering 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.
This is an exclusive Silver Sky 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 uses an original six-point tremolo unit.
Furthermore, at John Mayer's insistence, 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 exclusively for the Silver Sky.
These single-coil pickups are modeled after the sound of vintage guitars made between 1963 and 1964.
They have the brilliance of a single-coil pickup, but produce a well-balanced sound without excessive high-end harshness.
They don't lose brightness, but by cutting out unnecessary frequencies, they give the impression of a more modern, refined version of the traditional single-coil sound.
The knobs, jack plate, and other hardware are uniquely PRS-designed.
These unique touches add to the traditional look and are also appealing.
As an aside, the guitar is of such high quality that even if John Mayer were to forget his instrument, he could buy it from a store and use it right away for a live performance.
This is an exceptional guitar 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-play.
