One for the John Mayer fans! An affordable version of the modern blues-pop master's best-selling signature guitar is finally here — say hello to the PRS SE Silver Sky!
Resembling Mayer's USA Core model with its elegant double-cutaway body, inverted PRS headstock and trio of single-coil pickups — the PRS SE Silver Sky is a versatile workhorse designed to provide similarly exquisite tones and familiar playability, but at a far more accessible price-point.
Key Features
- Poplar Body — Often likened to Alder, Poplar is comparably balanced in sound with a slightly lighter feel.
- Bolt-On Construction — Produces a snappy note response for an immediate playing experience.
- 25.5" Scale Length — Provides optimal string tension; letting you dig in for funky "New Light"-style chords while allowing for soulful, expressive string bends.
- Maple Neck with Original '635JM' Carve — Based on the same custom neck shape used for Mayer's USA Silver Sky. According to Lee Anderton, PRS "nailed" it! Features a satin-style finish for a natural playing feel.
- Rosewood Fingerboard — A luxurious, silky material that enhances mid-range warmth. Comes fitted with 22 frets and boasts PRS' trademark 'Small Bird' inlays.
- 8.5" Fingerboard Radius — Offers a slightly flatter and more contemporary feel than the vintage-inspired 7.25" radius on the Core Silver Sky.
- 635JM "S" Pickups — Designed to capture the sound of the single-coils in the USA Silver Sky, these pickups "bark and sing" according to PRS!
- 5-Way Pickup Switching — Provides a wide sonic palette; letting you isolate each pickup or combine the middle single-coil with the bridge/neck pickups for those classic "in-between" tones.
- 2-Point Steel Tremolo — A reliable bridge that enables smooth vibrato whenever inspiration strikes.
- Vintage-Style Tuners — Possess a classy, traditional look and allow for precise string pitching.
- Included PRS SE Gig Bag — High-quality design ensures solid protection for the instrument.
