USED PAUL REED SMITH / John Mayer Signature Silver Sky Rosewood Faded Black Tee Satin [05]

The popular Silver Sky model is now in stock in beautiful pre-owned condition!

John Mayer is not only an accomplished guitarist, but also an accomplished vocalist and songwriter. The Silver Sky is a revolutionary "newly designed PRS guitar" in the history of PRS, and it took more than two and a half years to complete to meet John Mayer's wishes.

* From the manufacturer's website
PRS Silver Sky features the original PRS single-coil pickups designed to inherit the sound of the vintage guitars that John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith loved so much, especially those made in 1963-64. The design concept of this guitar is a departure from the image of the past.

After two years of research and development, the Silver Sky was born with a clear sound that both John and Paul were aiming for, and a wealth of original PRS parts designed and developed just for the sound and playability of this guitar.

The headstock shape, a trademark of PRS, has been redesigned with a reverse headstock to match John Mayer's playing style, and at the same time, the distance from the nut to the tuners has been increased to further enhance tuning stability.

The tuners are traditional vintage style Cruson type, but with the original PRS pegs with PRS locking system. The original steel tremolo is attached solidly to the body with the arm in the neutral position. This setting allows the bridge to move only in the pitch-down direction, but it improves the raw sound of the body by gaining ground contact between the bridge and the body, leading to a dynamic sound and improved signal-to-noise ratio of the single-coil pickups.

The 635JM pickup is a PRS original pickup developed exclusively for Silver Sky, and is characterized by its wide range, fat and crisp sound.

In addition, the Silver Sky's fingerboard is available in rosewood or maple, and both have a 7.25" fingerboard radius. The rosewood fingerboard neck has a slightly more rounded shoulder, making it more comfortable in the palm of the hand. Both fingerboard necks are the result of careful research of vintage guitars and John Mayer's own extensive on-stage testing.

The molded jack plate, a completely original design that allows for smooth plug insertion and removal, was also conceived with live use in mind.

We hope that the Silver Sky, created by John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, will become a new choice for guitarists around the world, regardless of musical genres, such as rock, blues, jazz, and funk.

* There are some small dents on the top of the body, but there are no playability issues and the unit is in good condition.
