The PRS Silver Sky electric guitar is a testament to harmonious collaboration and a relentless pursuit for perfection, combining vintage charm with modern innovations. Created in partnership with guitar virtuoso John Mayer and the seasoned artisans at Paul Reed Smith, the Silver Sky is a powerful ode to the contemporary musician.
The foundation of the Silver Sky is its meticulously sculpted double-cutaway alder body, offering optimum playability with its player-friendly contours. Enhancing its unique appeal, the body pairs with the distinctive inverted PRS headstock, ensuring a consistent string length and reliable tuning stability. The headstock is equipped with vintage-styled, closed-back tuners enhanced with PRS’s signature locking design, taking the concept of precision tuning a step further.
Strengthening its robust foundation for stable intonation, the Silver Sky features a steel tremolo bridge with Gen III knife-edge screws. This setup, flush with the body, allows the tremolo to only shift downwards in pitch. As a result, the Silver Sky offers superior acoustic loudness, improved signal clarity, and reduced hum, further amplifying the output of its pickups.
Equipped with a trio of custom-made PRS 635JM single-coil pickups, the Silver Sky offers a tonal experience that sets it apart from its traditional counterparts. These specially designed pickups deliver rounder, fuller tones that bear the John Mayer seal of approval. The richness and clarity they produce are further accentuated by the comfortable feel of the Silver Sky’s neck. The smooth maple neck and rosewood fingerboard make prolonged playing sessions a joy, while the classic PRS Small Birds fret inlays add a touch of class and charm to this striking instrument.
The PRS Silver Sky in lovely Roxy Pink is a masterwork that has already made its mark in the modern era. In the hands of any player, this guitar truly comes alive, fulfilling its purpose as the quintessential contemporary classic.
