Park this axe in front of any tube amp, and its sweet-sounding single-coil pickups will churn out glassy, musical tones with excellent note definition. Beyond that, the Silver Sky includes a bone nut, molded metal jack plate, retooled knobs, custom fret-wire, and PRS's double-action truss rod.Vintage-inspired neck with practical contemporary touches The Silver Sky's bolt-on neck is patterned after John Mayer's beloved vintage instruments.

At Sweetwater, we're intimately familiar with the unique feel of classic American electric guitars, and we can attest — PRS nailed it. Wrap your hand around this neck, and you'll agree — it just feels right. The Silver Sky features an inverted PRS-style headstock that's been modified to accommodate John's playing style and to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which improves intonation. You also get traditional vintage-style closed-back tuners with modern locking mechanisms.A trio of sweet-sounding single-coil pickups If you're a single-coil tone connoisseur, you'll love the PRS Silver Sky. Its pickups combine the best elements of early-'60s American electric guitars: a round and full tone with glassy, musical highs that never venture into icepick land. The chiming harmonics yielded by these pickups are jaw-dropping. And when you put them in front of a tube amp, you get a gorgeous growl with outstanding note definition. These pickups have a few modern tricks up their sleeve, too: they exhibit a higher signal-to-noise ratio than vintage models, and their in-between sounds are noise canceling. On top of that, their electronics have been precision valued, ensuring superior consistency from pickup to pickup.Classic-styled tremolo with modern reliability Much like its tuners, the Silver Sky's tremolo takes a classic design and embellishes it with modern features. For starters, it features PRS's unthreaded tremolo arm, which supplies you with a small set screw to optimize its playing position. Beyond that, Gen III knife-edge screws ensure a reliable return to pitch. Also, per John Mayer's request, the tremolo rests flush against the guitar's body in a neutral position, so that it only goes down in pitch. Keeping the bridge in contact with the body amplifies the guitar acoustically, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the Silver Sky's pickups.PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Solidbody Electric Guitar Features: Vintage-inspired guitar based on John Mayer's early-'60s instruments Familiar shape with an eye-catching contrasting tone in its cutaway scoop Comfortable bolt-on maple neck is patterned after John Mayer's beloved vintage instruments Easy-playing rosewood fingerboard with 22 custom-sized frets, 25.5" scale length, and 7.25" radius Inverted PRS-style headstock was modified to accommodate John's playing style and improve intonation Sweet-sounding single-coil pickups churn out glassy, musical tones with excellent note definition Classic-styled tremolo with PRS’s unthreaded trem arm and Gen III knife-edge screws Traditional vintage-style closed-back tuners with modern locking mechanisms Includes a bone nut, molded metal jack plate, retooled knobs, and PRS's double-action truss rod SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape Silver Sky Body Material Alder Color Faded Black Tee Body Finish Satin Nitrocellulose Lacquer Neck Material Maple Neck Shape 635JM Neck Joint Bolt-on Radius 7.25" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Small Birds Number of Frets 22, Nickel Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.656" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece PRS Steel Tremolo Tuners Vintage-Style, 18:1 Neck Pickup PRS 635JM Single-coil Middle Pickup PRS 635JM Single-coil Bridge Pickup PRS 635JM Single-coil Controls 1 x volume, 2 x tone Switching 5-way blade pickup switch Strings PRS Signature, .010-.046 Case/Gig Bag Gig Bag RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
