DISC PRS Silver Sky RW, Frost #0338387 Overview
The PRS Silver Sky is the product of an iconic collaboration between John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. It's where classic design meets modern innovation. The use of alder for the body reflects the construction of '60s guitars which Mayer hugely admires, whilst PRS renowned craftsmanship promises the quality feel of a new instrument. And of course, the sound is just as stunning. Powerful 635JM single coil pickups deliver a superb, colourful tone with a well-rounded sonic nature and a high end that glistens.
Designed to provide incredible playability, the silky-smooth rosewood fretboard allows you to pitch bend and slide as if your fingers are floating on air, much like the dazzling, yet subtle, bird inlays that accent it. The inverted headstock then ensures even more access to the fretboard - a specific requirement for Mayer's playing style. Once you have nailed your technique with the aid of such innovative features, sculpt your tone perfectly using the volume and tone controls. There are two tone dials to guarantee the ultimate precision.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionExceptional construction
Alder has been relied on for years to deliver pure excellence. Trusting the construction of some of PRS' most famed guitars, the Silver Sky relies on this exquisite tonewood to offer the strength and durability that fearless players need. What's more, the moulded metal jack plate allows for quick, effortless plugging thanks to its curved design. In your hand will then lie a gorgeously crafted maple neck, built for smooth, seamless playing, whether that be thick, fiery chords or intricate fretting. Its modified shape provides a beautifully rounded feel that will fit perfectly on your palm. The rosewood fretboard - adorned with PRS' bird inlays - also has a sublime, smooth finish that accommodates any fast and slick fretting techniques. It can take any ferocious attack of your fretting and will be sure to last for years to come.
Pickups for a pristine sound
Equipped with three pickups, this guitar promises an epic sound. It could be described as a hybrid of PRS' meticulous eye for detail, classic vintage attributes, and Mayer's knowledgeable input. The 635JM pickups embody a single coil design that delivers a strikingly colourful tone, and having three of them means you are equipped with overwhelming power and energy. Play with soaring trebles that are pronounced with glistening articulation; the 635JMs focus particularly on the high end to give you that extra sparkle you need for those mesmerising solos. For a full sound that also has plenty of snap and attack, no other pickup can deliver like the 635JMs can. They truly are one of the most enticing features of this guitar.
It is not enough to just have incredible sound to experiment with, an immense amount of versatility is required to accommodate today's guitarists' everchanging needs. On the Silver Sky, versatility comes in the form of one volume control, two tone controls and a 5-way blade pickup switch. Experience the ultimate freedom over your sound; finetune each pickup to sound exactly the way you want. Whether you're in the studio or playing to a large crowd, this guitar is equipped with innovative electronics that project your sound with bite, clarity, and resonance. Tailor your tone and get ready for an undeniably thrilling playing experience.
Strength and stability
Durable construction and superb sound - don't choose one or the other. The Silver Sky is evidence that you can have both without losing a touch of excellence. The steel tremolo bridge encompasses practical benefits that make performing so much easier. Having a steel tremolo arm means you can play with ease knowing it won't snap, whilst the screws have been carefully located to allow for adjustment and comfort whilst playing. Better still, the bridge brings beautiful tonal qualities through its flush setup on the body, providing wondrous resonance and dynamics.
Making life so much more enjoyable on stage, sturdy vintage style locking tuners and inverted headstock ensure every single note gleams with perfection. Say goodbye to slipping out of tune when you're completely engulfed in those intricate fretting styles, with the Silver Sky you can be sure that your strings will stay firmly in tune. The tuners employ a vintage style but are blessed with PRS' modern locking design, another magical combination of old and new. From the hardware to the electronics, every detail of the PRS John Mayer Silver Sky has been considered with precision and attentiveness, resulting in an astounding guitar that is like no other.
