Designed with John Mayer
The Silver Sky was born from years of collaboration between John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, with a clear goal: capture the soul of a great 1963–1964 single-coil guitar while refining it for modern players. Every curve, contour and component was studied, tested and reworked until it met Mayer’s standards on stage. The inverted PRS headstock isn’t just visual flair, it improves string pull and tuning stability while keeping the feel familiar. It’s a thoughtful redesign rather than a copy, delivering vintage character with PRS-level consistency and build quality.
Round and expressive 635JM pickups
The trio of PRS 635JM single-coils are voiced for warmth, clarity and musical balance. They offer a full low end, rich midrange and a sweet top end that avoids the brittle edge often associated with traditional single-coils. Clean tones are open and articulate, while driven sounds retain note definition and dynamic response. Combined with a classic five-way blade switch and simple volume and dual tone controls, you’ve got a wide tonal palette that covers everything from glassy rhythm parts to full and fluid lead lines.
Precision steel tremolo system
The PRS steel tremolo takes a familiar design and enhances it with Gen III knife-edge screws for smoother action and improved return to pitch. Set flush against the body in its neutral position, it's designed to increase contact with the alder body and boost overall resonance. That added acoustic volume translates directly into a stronger, clearer signal from the pickups. Paired with vintage-style locking tuners and a bone nut, the result is excellent tuning stability without sacrificing classic feel.
Comfortable 635JM-R neck carve
This rosewood-equipped version features the 635JM-R neck shape, subtly rounded in the shoulders for a natural, supportive grip. The 7.25” fretboard radius and PRS Medium frets echo early ’60s specs, encouraging expressive bends and chordal work with a familiar, vintage-style feel. A bolt-on maple neck, double-acting truss rod accessible from the headstock, and meticulous fretwork ensure dependable performance in any setting. It’s a neck that feels instantly played-in, yet delivers the precision and stability you’d expect from a modern PRS.
