What happens when a top-class guitarist and a quality-oriented guitar manufacturer put their heads together and design a guitar series together? Something very special - that's for sure. The PRS Silver Sky was created in cooperation with John Mayer and thus reflects what is important to him in a guitar. It combines elements of early 1960s guitars with a look into the present, bringing the feel of a Vintage guitar with the precision of a new instrument. In addition, numerous modifications were made to the basic design.
The guitar is based on an ST body made of alder, with three 635JM single-coil pickups specially designed for this series built into it. Both the screwed neck and the fretboard, which are made of either rosewood or maple, were adapted to John Mayer's ideas. The bird inlays typical of PRS are of course included. Even the guitar's patented head has been inverted. The Silver Sky series guitars are produced in PRS 's main factory in Stevensville by highly talented instrument makers and then checked for the smallest details.

PRS Guitars sets its own standards when it comes to electric guitars. At session you will find not only the high class PRS custom shop guitars but also models from the mid-price range and electric basses from PRS. At NAMM 2016, PRS is taking a look into the past and, with the CE 24 models, has been presenting guitars with screw-on neck and maple necks in their main range for many years, which offer an interesting alternative to traditional construction. Later, the collaboration with John Mayer resulted in an incredibly successful instrument, the Silver Sky series, which was initially supplemented by additional colors and later by a cheaper SE series .
Through his great passion for guitar building and meticulous research and optimization of his models, company founder Paul Reed Smith has been creating instruments that are rightly considered true works of art for over 40 years. Not only guitar legends like Carlos Santana play the high-quality PRS guitars from the standard series, the exclusive Private Stock or even the cheaper SE production.
Paul Reed Smith is making a name for himself
The American guitar maker PRS Guitars was officially founded in 1985, but the company's founder and namesake, Paul Reed Smith, has been making guitars since around 1975. By giving his guitars to stars like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Peter Frampton and convincing them directly, his instruments became more and more famous. Series production of the Custom 24 finally began in 1985. With former Gibson President Ted McCarty, Paul Reed Smith was able to gain an experienced consultant and the course was set for success for the guitars with the typical bird inlays in the fretboard .
Every guitar is a custom shop model
PRS guitars tend to be in the higher price ranges because of the high-quality materials and careful workmanship. The SE line, which has been manufactured in Korea and is of a high quality despite cheaper materials, has existed since the 1990s. The S2 series forms a link because the instruments are made in the USA, but are still quite affordable.
PRS calls all instruments custom shop instruments due to the high quality and customization options, but with the private stock instruments the company goes one step further and sets real standards in terms of materials, quality, originality and individuality. All PRS guitars have one thing in common: they are real workhorses with a lot of flexibility and look outrageously good at the same time. This can also be seen in the countless endorsers who swear by their PRS , as well as the numerous signature models from artists such as John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Mark Tremonti and Chad Kroeger.
