2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Frost NEW

2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Frost NEW The PRS Silver Sky is the result of close collaboration between Grammy award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. The process of creating the Silver Sky took over two and a half years - this instrument is the result of the well-known Strat-style layout combined with PRS quality and beauty. This model was based on Mayer and Smith's favorite elements of vintage instruments from 1963 and 1964, which led to an idealized version of a vintage guitar with single-coil pickups. The attention paid to every detail sets this guitar apart from all others. Some of the most distinctive features include the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, pickups, and electronics. The guitar headstock is based on the trademark PRS design but is inverted, characterizing both Mayer's playing style and maintaining string length behind the nut for easier tuning. The tuners are traditional vintage-style (tulip buttons like on old closed-back PRS McCarty, but locking!). The neck profile was modeled after 1963-1964 vintage instruments, and the fretboard has a 7.25" radius. This provides the most correct feel of the neck in the hand. Like the tuners, the steel tremolo is of a classic design and includes PRS's tremolo arm and Gen III screws. The bridge on the PRS Silver Sky is mounted flush to the body in a neutral position so that the tremolo arm works only in one direction - down; if you want it to go up, use your fingers, do some bends =). By keeping the bridge in contact with the body, the guitar itself sounds louder, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very "round" and "full" with musical highs, without "mudriness" or brashness; in other words, they don't stick out like on some Strats. Other high-quality features include a bone nut, a specially modeled metal jack plate that is curved to allow plugging and unplugging the guitar cable without any problems, knobs, frets that are slightly smaller than on most PRS electric guitars, and a PRS truss rod (accessible from the front at the top of the neck on the headstock for ease of use). The PRS Silver Sky comes in four colors with a distinctive PRS trademark accent - the lower horn - it has the same shape as all PRS double-cuts.
