PRS SE Silver Sky: A Familiar Iteration of Mayer's Signature Model

The PRS SE Silver Sky is a familiar iteration of John Mayer's signature model, first introduced in 2018. This SE model starts with a poplar body, bolt-on maple neck, and maple fretboard with PRS's trademark bird inlays. The 22-fret, 25.5-inch scale length neck features the original 635JM carve and an 8.5-inch fretboard radius, making the SE Silver Sky feel right at home for any player.

Meticulously Designed Single-Coil Pickups

At the heart of the SE Silver Sky are the three single-coil pickups, meticulously designed to capture the voicing of the original Silver Sky. The 635JM S pickups deliver a round, full tone with a musical high end that is never too harsh, adding a bit of bite to your sound. This guitar is anchored by a two-point steel tremolo, synthetic bone nut, and vintage-style tuners, ensuring stable performance and classic aesthetics.

High-Quality Craftsmanship and Unique Design Features

The PRS SE Silver Sky features a bolt-on neck construction, enhancing its snap and response. The maple neck and fretboard provide a smooth playing surface, while the small bird inlays add a touch of PRS elegance. The inverted headstock shape and PRS double-acting truss rod, accessible from the front of the headstock, offer both functionality and unique design. This instrument ships with PRS Classic 10-46 strings and a PRS SE gig bag, ensuring you're ready to play right out of the box.

Collaboration and Craftsmanship

This guitar is the product of planetary alignment, said Jack Higginbotham, COO of PRS Guitars. John has an incredible ability to sweat all the right details; PT CORT Indonesia has all the skill, enthusiasm, and courage to take on large-scale manufacturing; and our own guitar making is sophisticated enough to collaboratively design an instrument that is both complementary to the original Silver Sky but also uniquely itself. All this comes at a time when guitar players are looking to us to provide musical solutions in ever larger numbers. We have had amazing experiences with the SE Silver Sky ourselves, and it feels wonderful to share those with guitar players around the world.
