2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Onyx NEW

2018 PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature Onyx NEW The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. The creation process of the Silver Sky took over two and a half years - this instrument is the result of a well-known type of strat combined with PRS quality and beauty. This model was based on Mayer and Smith's favorite elements from vintage 1963 and 1964 instruments, leading to an idealized version of a single-coil guitar. The attention paid to every detail sets this guitar apart from all others. Some of the most distinctive features include the shape of the headstock, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, pickups, and electronics. The guitar's headstock is based on the trademark PRS design, but inverted, characterizing Mayer's playing style and maintaining string length behind the nut, which simplifies tuning. The tuners are traditional vintage-style (tulip buttons like on old closed-type PRS McCarty, 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 PRS's 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 only works one way - down; if you want it up, use your fingers to do 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 harshness; 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, which is curved and allows you to plug in and unplug the guitar cable without 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 is presented in four colors with a distinctive PRS trademark accent - the lower horn - it has the same shape as all PRS double-cuts.
