2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Horizon NEW

2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Horizon NEW The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a 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 a known type of strat combined with the quality and beauty of PRS. This model was based on Mayer and Smith's favorite elements from vintage 1963 and 1964 instruments, which led to an idealized version of a vintage guitar with single-coils. The attention paid to every detail sets this guitar apart from all others. Some of the most distinctive characteristics include the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, pickups and electronics. The headstock is based on the PRS trademark design, but inverted, characterizing Mayer's playing style and maintaining consistent string length at the nut, which simplifies tuning. The tuners are traditional vintage-style (tulip-shaped like on old closed-type PRS McCarty guitars, but also locking!). The neck profile was modeled based on vintage 1963-1964 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 the PRS trem arm and Gen III screws. The bridge on the PRS Silver Sky is mounted flush to the body in a neutral position, so the tremolo arm works only in one direction - down; if you want 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 "muddiness" or "cheekiness", in other words, they do not stick out like on some strats. Other high-quality features include a bone nut, a specially modeled metal jack plate, which is curved and allows you to connect and disconnect 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 side at the top of the neck on the headstock for ease of use). The PRS Silver Sky is presented in four colors with a distinctive PRS trademark accent - the lower horn - it has the same shape as all PRS double-cuts.
