“After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like.”
— John Mayer
Designed in close collaboration between John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, the PRS Silver Sky combines the warmth, dynamic responsiveness, and character of golden-era single-coil instruments from 1963 and 1964 with the flawless craftsmanship and reliability of modern PRS engineering.
