For years, crafting a guitar that marries vintage charm with contemporary flair has been a personal aspiration. The Silver Sky, a collaborative brainchild between Grammy Award-winning artist John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, epitomizes this vision. Born from meticulous development spanning years, it's an embodiment of their shared adoration for 1963 and 1964 instruments, blended with modern finesse.

Distinctive features, such as the headstock shape, tuners, bridge, pickups, neck, and fretboard options, set the Silver Sky apart. The inverted PRS trademark headstock design, catering to Mayer's playing style, ensures consistent string length behind the nut for improved tuning stability. The traditional closed-back tuners boast PRS's locking mechanism, while the steel tremolo, nestled flush to the body, enhances acoustic resonance and elevates the single-coil pickups' signal-to-noise ratio.

The 635JM single-coil pickups offer roundness and fullness, devoid of any harshness in the high-end frequencies. Fretboard options include rosewood or maple, each tailored with precise modifications based on vintage instrument research and Mayer's on-stage trials to optimize comfort.

Notable premium specifications encompass a bone nut, a curved molded metal jack plate for effortless cable connections, re-engineered knobs, and PRS's double-action truss rod for easy adjustment. Every detail in the Silver Sky reflects an idealized vintage single-coil guitar, meticulously designed for modern performance. A PRS premium gig bag is included.
