Discover the PRS John Mayer Silver Sky at Guitar World Australia

Modern Craftsmanship Meets Vintage Inspiration

The PRS Silver Sky, designed by Paul Reed Smith in collaboration with John Mayer, is a remarkable blend of classic aesthetics and modern performance. This guitar, inspired by the iconic designs of the early '60s, features a distinctive shape with a striking contrasting tone in its cutaway scoop. Its neck carve, scale length, and fingerboard radius are modeled after Mayer's vintage favorites, while the updated PRS-style headstock and locking tuners bring contemporary reliability and style. Plug the Silver Sky into any tube amp, and its vintage-style single-coil pickups will deliver rich, glassy tones with outstanding clarity. This guitar also boasts a bone nut, molded metal jack plate, custom fret-wire, and PRS's double-action truss rod, making it a modern masterpiece available at Guitar World Australia.

Classic Neck Design with Modern Enhancements

The PRS Silver Sky’s bolt-on neck is meticulously designed to echo the feel of John Mayer's beloved vintage guitars. The fingerboard, featuring 22 custom-sized frets, a 25.5" scale length, and a 7.25" radius, offers a comfortable playing experience. At Guitar World Australia, we understand the nuances of classic American electric guitars, and the Silver Sky's neck feels just right in your hands. The modified PRS-style headstock ensures consistent string length behind the nut, enhancing intonation and accommodating Mayer's playing style. Additionally, vintage-style closed-back tuners with modern locking mechanisms ensure stable tuning and quick string changes.

Exceptional Single-coil Pickups for Superior Tone

The PRS Silver Sky is equipped with three single-coil pickups that capture the essence of early '60s American electric guitars. These pickups produce a round, full tone with sparkling highs and remarkable harmonic detail. When paired with a tube amp, the Silver Sky delivers a dynamic growl and excellent note definition. The pickups also feature modern enhancements, such as a higher signal-to-noise ratio and noise-canceling in-between positions. Precision-valued electronics ensure consistent performance across all three pickups, making this guitar a versatile choice for any player.

Reliable Tremolo System with Vintage Appeal

The Silver Sky’s tremolo system combines classic design with innovative features. The PRS unthreaded tremolo arm includes a small set screw to adjust its position perfectly. Gen III knife-edge screws provide a smooth, reliable return to pitch. As per John Mayer's specifications, the tremolo rests flush against the guitar body in a neutral position, allowing only downward pitch bends. This setup enhances the guitar's acoustic resonance and improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the pickups, ensuring a rich and expressive sound.
