PRS Silver Sky Electric Guitar – Satin Moc Sand with Rosewood Fingerboard Paul Reed Smith

Vintage-inspired neck with practical contemporary touches

The Silver Sky’s bolt-on neck is patterned after John Mayer’s beloved vintage instruments. Its fingerboard is loaded with 22 custom-sized frets, and it boasts a 25.5-inch scale length and 7.25-inch radius. Wrap your hand around this neck, and you’ll agree — this guitar just feels perfect. The Silver Sky features an inverted PRS-style headstock that’s been modified to accommodate John’s playing style and to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which improves intonation. You also get traditional, vintage-style closed-back tuners with modern locking mechanisms.

A trio of sweet-sounding single-coil pickups

If you’re a single-coil tone connoisseur, you’ll love the PRS Silver Sky. Its pickups combine the best elements of early ’60s American electric guitars: a round and full tone with glassy, musical highs that never venture into ice pick land. The chiming harmonics yielded by these pickups are simply jaw-dropping. And when you put them in front of a tube amp, you get a gorgeous growl with outstanding note definition. These pickups have a few modern tricks up their sleeve, too. They exhibit a higher signal-to-noise ratio than vintage models, and their in-between sounds are noise canceling. On top of that, their electronics have been precision valued, ensuring superior consistency from pickup to pickup.

Classic-styled tremolo with modern reliability

Much like its tuners, the Silver Sky’s tremolo takes a classic design and embellishes it with modern features. For starters, it features PRS’s unthreaded tremolo arm, which supplies you with a small set screw to optimize its playing position. Beyond that, Gen III knife-edge screws ensure a reliable return to pitch. Also, per John Mayer’s request, the tremolo rests flush against the guitar’s body in a neutral position, so that it only goes down in pitch. Keeping the bridge in contact with the body amplifies the guitar acoustically, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the Silver Sky’s pickups.
