The PRS SE Silver Sky is a familiar iteration of the original Silver Sky model that was first introduced with John Mayer in 2018. It's the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, and retains the original's focus on clear tone and high level of playability.
- Headstock shape is based on PRS’s trademark design, but inverted both to accommodate Mayer’s playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier
- Steel tremolo takes the patented PRS design and incorporates Gen III knife-edge screws
- Setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch, the bridge’s increased contact with the body allows the guitar itself to be acoustically louder, which in turn improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups
- 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never “ice-picky” or brash
- The Rosewood neck has been subtly modified in the shoulders to feel more rounded in your hand
