PRS John Mayer Silver Sky RW (Dodgem Blue)

The PRS John Mayer Silver Sky RW (Dodgem Blue) is a 6-String Electric Guitar with an Alder Body, Maple Neck and Rosewood Fingerboard. The Fingerboard of the Rosewood Instruments in this John Mayer Signature Series has a subtle rounding of the shoulders, for a more “rounded” feel in the hand. Both models were hard-tested by Mayer on stage during the refining process, to produce High-Quality Instruments which combine established tradition with a modern vision.

Classic Double Cut Design

John Mayer's Silver Sky embodies the ergonomic feeling of traditional Double Cut-Away Guitars and lifts the timeless design to today's stages. In addition to classic features such as the Top-Load Construction and contours for arm and chest, Paul Reed Smith gave the lower Cut-Away the typical 'scoop', enabling easier access to the high frets.

635JM Single Coils

Powerful, but full of character and not too harsh, the Single Coil Pick-Ups have been designed especially for John’s Silver Sky. Full, round and warm sounds are always available, without denying the characteristic sound of the Single Coils. The Pick-Up Circuits, which can be selected via the 5-Way Blade Switch, awaken the whole palette of the set, especially the intermediate positions (2 and 4) which testify to the good balance between the Pick-Ups.

Bolt-On Maple Neck

The construction of the PRS Silver Sky follows the classic Bolt-On Design. The quadruple Maple Neck Plate, which is screwed to a specially designed Silver Sky Neck Plate, features a Rosewood Fingerboard and classic Small Bird Inlays as Fret Markings. The profile is a subtly rounded variation of the painstakingly recreated classic 1963/64 Instruments used by Mayer, most of which have an extremely low fretboard radius of around 7.25".

PRS Custom Hardware

The Hardware of the PRS Silver Sky remains traditional, albeit with the unique PRS/Mayer stylings. First of all, the Jack Plate Design was adapted and rounded off by Paul Reed Smith, so that Instrument Cables can be easily connected and disconnected. The Vintage Tremolo is held in place by 6x Screws resting on knife edges and has 4x Steel Springs, which allow the Baseplate to rest on the Body. This not only optimises reliable Tuning and Double-Stops, but also provides a stronger Signal and improved Sustain.
