PRS's Take on an American Classic

The PRS Silver Sky was designed by Paul Reed Smith and built to John Mayer's specifications. This vintage-inspired guitar boasts a familiar shape with an eye-catching contrasting tone in its cutaway scoop. Its neck carve, scale length, and fingerboard radius were modeled after John's early-'60s instruments; however, a modified PRS-style headstock and locking tuners propel it firmly into the twenty-first century. Park this axe in front of any tube amp, and its sweet-sounding single-coil pickups will churn out glassy, musical tones with excellent note definition. Beyond that, the Silver Sky includes a bone nut, molded metal jack plate, retooled knobs, custom fret-wire, and PRS's double-action truss rod.

Vintage-inspired neck with practical contemporary touches

The Silver Sky's bolt-on neck is patterned after John Mayer's beloved vintage instruments. Its fingerboard is loaded with 22 custom-sized frets, and it boasts a 25.5" scale length and 7.25" radius. At Sweetwater, we're intimately familiar with the unique feel of classic American electric guitars, and we can attest — PRS nailed it. Wrap your hand around this neck, and you'll agree — it just feels right. The Silver Sky features an inverted PRS-style headstock that's been modified to accommodate John's playing style and to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which improves intonation. You also get traditional vintage-style closed-back tuners with modern locking mechanisms.

A trio of sweet-sounding single-coil pickups

If you're a single-coil tone connoisseur, you'll love the PRS Silver Sky. Its pickups combine the best elements of early-'60s American electric guitars: a round and full tone with glassy, musical highs that never venture into icepick land. The chiming harmonics yielded by these pickups are jaw-dropping. And when you put them in front of a tube amp, you get a gorgeous growl with outstanding note definition. These pickups have a few modern tricks up their sleeve, too: they exhibit a higher signal-to-noise ratio than vintage models, and their in-between sounds are noise canceling. On top of that, their electronics have been precision valued, ensuring superior consistency from pickup to pickup.

Classic-styled tremolo with modern reliability

Much like its tuners, the Silver Sky's tremolo takes a classic design and embellishes it with modern features. For starters, it features PRS's unthreaded tremolo arm, which supplies you with a small set screw to optimize its playing position. Beyond that, Gen III knife-edge screws ensure a reliable return to pitch. Also, per John Mayer's request, the tremolo rests flush against the guitar's body in a neutral position, so that it only goes down in pitch. Keeping the bridge in contact with the body amplifies the guitar acoustically, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the Silver Sky's pickups.

Perfect strat

Selling my vintage strat bc this is perfect
Rated 5/5

1, 2, 3 :-)

I bought one of these in Tungsten when they first came out, but bought it as a curiosity. I didn't think I would use it all that much. I have 3 other PRS guitars that I adore, and I am not that much of a Fender fan, generally speaking, so figured the Silver Sky wouldn't really speak to me. I was so wrong. I had a three month period where the Silver Sky was ALL I wanted to play. It feels great. It sounds great. It is like a very high quality Fender Strat with better tone. I bought an SE version just for the color, and it isn't too bad, either. Not quite the pleasure to play, but I take it in situations where I'm not comfortable having a more expensive guitar, and it works just fine. The Roxy Pink I also bought just because I couldn't resist the color, and it turned out to be the best of the three. I don't know if they have tweaked the original design, or if this one just has that accidental X factor, but I have a hard time keeping this one out of my hands. Something I expected to be just a nice club to have in the bag has turned out to be a go to guitar. Absolutely fabulous. In my opinion, Paul Reed Smith is doing making THE best guitars, right now. Amazing stuff.
Rated 5/5

Just Wow!

I'll start this by saying I have had a number of guitars over the years but always seemed to reach for my strat over and over again. I figured I would give this a try as I have always had an appreciation for PRS and this guitar has always intrigued me as it seems to fix some of the issues i have had with strats. Let me just say holy cow this is a nice guitar. The neck is a little thicker than a modern strat, which honestly has a perfect feel for me. One thing that I noticed right away, that i haven't seen others talk about, is the access to the upper frets. Wow, what difference it is to not fight the guitar when playing the higher notes, this is life changing. The pick-ups on this lack a little high end in my honest opinion, but clean they sound incredible. Huge shout out to Tom for helping me. He has helped me with multiple purchases and has never steered me wrong.
Rated 5/5

Fantastic. Tone, playability, fit&finish...all outstanding.

I'm a Strat guy. I always have been. I'm also a single-coil guy. I've had humbucker guitars, but I tend to always trade them away. As it is, I have 3 Strats right now at home, including a 1999 American Standard (which also has a 7.25" radius neck). But this just blows them all away. The neck feel is perfect for me. Slightly smaller than a '64 Strat, slightly bigger than a modern Strat. But it feels good. The pickups are out of this world. I used to spend hours in a music store trying each Strat and Strat-like instrument looking for a good tone. It's been hit or miss. But not on this Silver Sky. It was magical going into my Deluxe Reverb right away. Came out of the box perfectly set-up too. I have to admit when these were announced I was skeptical. But WOW was I wrong. Plus my Sweetwater sales engineer, Jacob, helped me out all along the way. Outstanding service.
Music background: studio rat

You don't even have to play guitar to know that PRS instruments are in a league of their own. With their exquisitely figured tops and premium appointments, each PRS is a playable work of art. But it goes way deeper than the surface. Every time Paul visits Sweetwater, we get a deeper look at his amazing instruments. We've even hosted several PRS Custom Shop events, complete with Paul's personal Wood Library! Whether they're his most affordable SE electric guitars, top-quality acoustics, or amps, it's always amazing to see what PRS comes up with. What's more, we keep a ton of PRS guitars in our amazing Guitar Showroom, so the staff at Sweetwater can get hands on with all of their latest models. We'd love to tell you all about them.
