Presentation
More than just a guitar, the Silver Sky is the culmination of a dream shared by John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith: to combine the vintage charm of the 60s with the performance and aesthetics of a modern instrument.
The result of a two-year collaboration, PRS revisits Mayer and Smith's favourite elements on instruments from 1963 and 1964, adding a resolutely contemporary touch. The warmth, familiarity and authenticity of a vintage guitar blend harmoniously with the finesse and precision of a state-of-the-art instrument.
The Silver Sky features a number of unique details. The inverted headstock design, inspired by the PRS signature, ensures ideal string length behind the nut for better tuning support. Vintage locking action ensures stability, while the third-generation steel vibrato provides smooth, precise action.
The 635JM single-coil pickups deliver a round, warm sound with musical highs. The rosewood neck has slightly rounded shoulders for greater comfort, and the fingerboard with its 7.25" radius has been meticulously developed for optimum playability.

John Mayer Silver Sky Rosewood in a nutshell:
- A bold design: the shape of the headstock, inspired by the PRS signature model but inverted to facilitate Mayer's playing while preserving the length of string behind the nut (for better tuning).
- The maple neck follows the original 635JM shape, and the rosewood fingerboard has slightly rounded shoulders for greater comfort.
- Modern action with a vintage look: a traditional retro look combined with the PRS locking system for added stability.
- Innovative vibrato: the steel vibrato features the patented PRS design with Gen III knife screws. Its increased contact with the body amplifies the guitar's natural sound and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of single-coil pickups.
- Exceptional pickups: the 635JM single-coil pickups deliver a full, round sound, with musical highs that are never strident or aggressive.
