PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Maple Fretboard Frost White elgitarr
Gitarr med specar som har blicken i backspegeln med med en dagsfärsk estetisk och en modern själ framtagen av Paul Reed Smith och John Mayer.
Den solida kroppen i al med tre single coil-pickups och den skruvade lönnhalsen med greppbräda i lönn ger både ett härligt vintagesound och en hemvan känsla som en väl inspelad gitarr normalt har. Silver Sky har det traditionella PRS-huvudet, fast med en twist. Huvudet är nämligen roterat och mekaniken har placerats på ett sådant sätt att det blir en jämnare stränglängd vilket resultarar i att instrumentet blir lättare att stämma och att det är lättare att bända de tunnare strängarna.

“It’s been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like.” – John Mayer
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.
Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, bridge, pickups, and neck and fretboard options. The headstock shape is based on PRS’s trademark design, but inverted both to accommodate Mayer’s playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier. The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with PRS’s locking design. The steel tremolo takes the patented PRS design and incorporates Gen III knife-edge screws. Setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch, the bridge’s increased contact with the body allows the guitar itself to be acoustically louder, which in turn improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never “ice-picky” or brash.
The Silver Sky Maple comes with a maple fretboard. The maple fretboard option comes with the original 635JM neck shape. 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”.
Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a molded metal jack plate (curved to make plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free), retooled knobs, and PRS’s double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use). PRS premium gig bag included.
