The PRS Silver Sky is an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar where every detail adds up and sets this guitar apart from the pack and the past. The result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, the Silver Sky is based off of years of development. Incorporating Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements of 1963 and 1964 instruments with an eye toward modern references, the PRS Silver Sky delivers the warmth and familiarity of an old guitar with the finesse of a brand-new instrument.

One of the standout features of this guitar are the unique specifications such as the headstock shape, tuners, bridge, and pickups. The headstock has been modified from the classic PRS design to accommodate John Mayer's playing style and ensure better tuning stability. The traditional tuners have been upgraded with PRS's locking design, while the steel tremolo utilizes Gen III knife-edge screws for improved performance. The bridge's increased contact with the body not only enhances the guitar's acoustic sound, but also leads to a better signal-to-noise ratio for the single-coil pickups. These pickups offer a full and round tone with a smooth high end that never sounds harsh. Experience the incredible sound and playability of the PRS Silver Sky - John Mayer Model - Maple!

The Silver Sky comes with the option of a rosewood or maple fretboard. The maple fretboard option comes with the original 635JM neck shape, while the rosewood fretboard option has been subtly modified in the shoulders to feel more “rounded” in your hand. Both neck shapes were designed by researching vintage instruments and Mayer test-driving guitars on stage to find what felt right. The fretboard radius on both options is 7.25”.
