After many years of collaboration between Paul Reed Smith and seven-time Grammy winner John Mayer, the Maryland-based company presents the PRS John Mayer Silver Sky . The electric guitar, which is based on the characteristic features of early sixties instruments, presents itself as a successful homage to the irrepressible Vintage sound of the mid sixties and combines the classic specifications of the era with Paul's future-oriented guitar design. The first 500 PRS John Mayers Silver Sky delivered worldwide are equipped with a specially designed Silver Sky hard shell case. So fans and collectors better strike fast!
Traditional Vintage Double Cut construction meets modern PRS design: The Paul Reed Smith John Mayer Silver Sky in Frost finish.
John Mayers Silver Sky embodies the ergonomic feel of traditional Double cutaway guitars and lifts the timeless design to today's stages. Besides classic features like the top load construction and contours for arm and chest, Paul Reed Smith gave the lower cutaway the typical ' Scoop ', which is especially beneficial for playing in the highest positions of the fingerboard.
The construction of the Bolt-On PRS Silver Sky follows the classic construction method. The four-piece maple neck, which has been specially designed Silver Sky Neckplate with screws, has a Palisander fingerboard including classic Small Bird inlays for fret marking. After the first fingerings, a characteristic Vintage feeling spontaneously appears, not least thanks to the painstakingly recreated neck profile of John's classic 63/64 instruments and an extremely low fretboard radius of 7.25".
Powerful, yet full of character and not too harsh, the Single coils designed especially for Johns Silver Sky go to work. Full, round and warm sounds are the profession of the Single coils, without denying the characteristic sound of the single spools. The pickup circuits, which can be selected via the 5-way blade switch, awaken the entire range of the set, with the intermediate positions 2 and 4 in particular testifying to the good balance between the pickups.
Also the Hardware -equipment of the PRS Silver Sky remains basically classical, however not completely without fresh cell cure. First, Paul Reed Smith's Jack Plate Design was adapted and rounded to make it easy to connect and disconnect instrument cables. The baseplate is held Vintage Tremolo in place by six screws resting on knife edges and has four steel springs ex works, so that the baseplate rests on the body. This not only provides more reliable tunings and Double stops, but also a more powerful signal and improved sustain.
PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Limited First Edition FrostI've always been a fan of PRS gear and owned a number of SEs and and S2, but this just takes it to another level. I get that other reviewers have had issues with the tuning pegs/control knobs, etc, but the quality isn't that bad.
I wasn't sure I was going to get on with the neck radius, but it's extremely comfortable and doesn't take too long to get used to.
Best guitar i’ve owned and so very good to look at with many changing colours throughout owing to the stunning flip flop paint job .
Volume/ knobs and pickup-switch feels cheap. Finish on the neck is pretty sticky but not too much but the neck profile is unbelievable good!
It keeps tune well, great sustain and the tone is something else.
