{"product_id":"prs-silver-sky-john-mayer-signature-model-frost","title":"PRS - Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Model - Frost","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePRS's Take On an American Classic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRS Silver Sky was designed by Paul Reed Smith and built to John Mayer's specifications. This vintage-inspired guitar boasts a familiar shape with an eye-catching contrasting tone in its cutaway scoop. Its neck carve, scale length, and fingerboard radius were modeled after John's early-'60s instruments; however, a modified PRS-style headstock and locking tuners propel it firmly into the 21st century. Park this axe in front of any tube amp, and its sweet-sounding single-coil pickups will churn out glassy, musical tones with excellent note definition. Beyond that, the Silver Sky includes a bone nut, molded metal jack plate, retooled knobs, custom fret-wire, and PRS's double-action truss rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage-inspired neck with practical contemporary touches\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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\" scale length and 7.25\" radius. At Guitar World, we're intimately familiar with the unique feel of classic American electric guitars, and we can attest — PRS nailed it. Wrap your hand around this neck, and you'll agree — it just feels right. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA trio of sweet-sounding single-coil pickups\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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 icepick-land. The chiming harmonics yielded by these pickups are 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ut25Ds5rg3U?rel=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic-styled tremolo with modern reliability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe

my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e– John Mayer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePRS Silver Sky\u003c\/strong\u003e is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Mayer\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Reed Smith\u003c\/strong\u003e. More than two and half years in the making, the Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar. The attention that was paid to every detail sets this guitar apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PRS Silver Sky will start shipping on March 20, 2018. The first 500 guitars to ship to dealers and distributors worldwide from PRS Guitars’ Maryland, USA factory will include a commemorative hardshell case. The Silver Sky model will then ship in a newly-designed, premium gig bag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52619727110434,"sku":"JMSlvSkyfrst","price":4588.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0996\/0066\/2818\/files\/PRS-John-Mayer-Frost-MN-2__89364.1727775077.1280.1280_ed67f1f4-0209-4f99-9add-b17aa6efb949.jpg?v=1790232103","url":"https:\/\/guitar.com.au\/products\/prs-silver-sky-john-mayer-signature-model-frost","provider":"Guitar World","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
