Designed with John Mayer
The Silver Sky is the result of years of detailed research into what made the best 1963 and 1964 single-coil guitars so inspiring. Working closely with Paul Reed Smith, John Mayer set out to retain that familiar snap and elasticity while improving consistency and tuning stability. The inverted PRS headstock isn't simply cosmetic, it keeps string length behind the nut consistent and enhances tuning performance. Every contour, measurement and hardware choice reflects a careful balance of tradition and refinement, giving you a guitar that honours the past without feeling stuck in it.
Round and dynamic 635JM pickups
The trio of PRS 635JM single-coils deliver a voice that's full, warm and articulate. The low end stays tight, the midrange sings, and the top end remains sweet and musical rather than brittle. Clean settings reveal clarity and depth across all five switch positions, while driven tones retain note separation and expressive dynamics. With a straightforward control layout of one volume, two tones and a five-way blade switch, shaping your sound feels natural and intuitive, whether you’re after glassy chords or fluid lead lines.
PRS steel tremolo performance
This model features the PRS steel tremolo updated with Gen III knife-edge screws for smooth action and reliable return to pitch. Set flush against the alder body in its neutral position, it only lowers pitch, increasing contact between bridge and body for enhanced resonance. That added acoustic response feeds directly into the pickups, improving clarity and signal strength. Combined with vintage-style locking tuners and a bone nut, the result is a trem system that feels classic under the hand but performs with modern stability.
Maple neck with classic feel
The maple fretboard version comes with the original 635JM neck shape, developed through hands-on testing with vintage instruments and real-world stage use. Its comfortable carve fills the hand without feeling bulky, while the 7.25" radius captures the traditional curvature associated with early '60s designs. A satin nitro neck finish enhances smooth playability and a natural feel. With 22 frets, a 25.5" scale length and PRS's precise bolt-on construction, this neck offers familiar response, accurate intonation and dependable performance night after night.
