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.
