The Paul Reed Smith Silver Sky: Vintage-Inspired, Modern Playability
The Paul Reed Smith Silver Sky is the ultimate fusion of vintage inspiration and cutting-edge design, created to John Mayer's exacting specifications. With a body shape reminiscent of Mayer's early-'60s guitars and a host of modern features, this guitar provides the best of both worlds. The Silver Sky features a bolt-on maple neck, custom-sized frets, and a 7.25" fingerboard radius that makes it feel like an old friend. Combined with PRS 635JM single-coil pickups and a classic-styled tremolo with modern reliability, this guitar is perfect for players who want to experience both iconic tones and contemporary playability.
Vintage Design Meets Modern Craftsmanship
The Silver Sky's vintage-inspired design is based on John Mayer's beloved instruments from the early 1960s. Its 25.5" scale length and 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard make it a pleasure to play, whether you're chording or soloing. The bolt-on maple neck provides a smooth playing experience, while the inverted PRS-style headstock was modified to accommodate Mayer's playing style and improve intonation. The headstock's consistent string length behind the nut helps keep tuning stable and enhances the guitar’s resonance.
PRS 635JM Single-Coil Pickups for Clear, Defined Tone
The PRS Silver Sky is loaded with three PRS 635JM single-coil pickups that deliver the clear, glassy tones of vintage American guitars while avoiding the harshness often associated with single coils. These pickups are responsive and articulate, producing everything from warm, rich tones to bright, bell-like chime. When paired with a tube amp, the pickups produce a beautiful growl with excellent note separation. The in-between positions are noise-canceling, offering a higher signal-to-noise ratio than traditional single-coil pickups.
Classic Tremolo with Modern Enhancements
The Silver Sky's tremolo bridge combines vintage style with modern upgrades. PRS's unthreaded tremolo arm ensures smooth, stable operation, while Gen III knife-edge screws allow the bridge to return to pitch accurately. The bridge is set to rest flush against the body, allowing for pitch-down-only bends and improving the overall resonance of the guitar. This design amplifies the acoustic properties of the instrument and enhances the clarity and sustain of its pickups.
