PRS Silver Sky in Venetian Blue

The PRS Silver Sky in Venetian Blue isn’t just a guitar—it’s a revelation. Designed by Grammy Award-winning artist John Mayer in collaboration with Paul Reed Smith, this instrument reimagines vintage tones and craftsmanship for the modern player. Inspired by Mayer’s favorite elements of 1963 and 1964 guitars, the Silver Sky combines nostalgic warmth with contemporary precision, creating a tool that’s as much a work of art as it is a performance machine.

Sound and Performance

Plugging in the Silver Sky delivers a tonal journey that’s rich and evocative. The custom 635JM single-coil pickups provide a warm, full-bodied sound with shimmering highs that never veer into harshness. It’s a tone that feels as at home in blues and jazz as it does in pop and rock. Whether you're chasing the soulful expression of John Mayer's "Gravity" or experimenting with lush, clean chords, the Silver Sky excels in clarity and musicality.

The steel tremolo bridge, outfitted with PRS Gen III knife-edge screws, ensures that every nuance of your playing is translated into vibrant resonance. The bridge’s design, flush to the body, increases acoustic volume, lending the guitar a natural liveliness that’s rare in modern instruments.

Designed for Excellence

From its inverted headstock to its vintage-inspired locking tuners, every detail of the Silver Sky is crafted for reliability, playability, and aesthetic elegance. The comfortably rounded neck shape was tested and refined by Mayer himself, ensuring it fits effortlessly into your hand. The 7.25" fretboard radius adds a classic feel that’s perfect for intricate chords and smooth bends.

The Venetian Blue finish is both striking and understated, giving the guitar a timeless, sophisticated look that will stand out on any stage.
