PRS Silver Sky Electric Guitar, John Mayer Signature Model, Maple Neck, Frost Finish

The PRS Silver Sky John Mayer Signature in Frost with a maple neck is a high-quality electric guitar that mixes old-school style with modern features. It was created with help from musician John Mayer and guitar maker Paul Reed Smith. This guitar takes the feel of classic guitars and adds smart updates to make it easier and more fun to play.

Body and Look

The body is made of solid alder wood, which gives a balanced sound that’s not too sharp or too dull. It has a flat top and double-cut shape, making it comfy to hold whether you’re sitting or standing. The edges are rounded a bit to make it easier on your arms during long practice sessions.

The Frost finish looks awesome. It’s shiny and metallic, and the special nitro paint helps the wood “breathe” better while giving it a custom, high-end look.

Neck and Fingerboard

The neck is made from strong maple, and the maple fingerboard gives a bright, clear sound. The neck shape, called 635JM, was made to match John Mayer’s hand. It has a classic “C” shape that feels just right not too thick, not too thin.

The fingerboard has a 7.25-inch curve, which feels smooth for bending notes. You’ll see small bird inlays instead of dots PRS’s cool design touch. There are 22 tall, narrow frets, great for accurate playing.

Neck Measurements:

• Width at the top (nut): 1 21/32"
  
• Width near the body: 2 15/64"
  
• Depth at the 1st fret: 55/64"
  
• Depth at the 12th fret: 63/64"
  

It also has an easy-access truss rod, so you can adjust the neck if the weather makes it bend or twist.

Tuning and Bridge

This guitar stays in tune really well, thanks to its locking tuners with an 18:1 gear ratio. These tuners look vintage but work with modern accuracy.

The steel tremolo bridge lets you bend notes down smoothly and return to pitch without going out of tune. It uses special knife-edge screws that help it move better. It only bends down, which keeps your sound strong and in tune.

The bone nut also helps keep things stable and sounding clean. All the metal parts are nickel, giving the guitar a classy vintage style.

Pickups and Controls

This guitar comes with three 635JM single-coil pickups, built to John Mayer’s sound preferences. They give a warm and smooth tone great for blues, rock, pop, or mellow music.

You control it with:

• 1 volume knob
  
• 2 tone knobs (one for neck/middle, one for bridge)
  
• A 5-way switch that lets you pick different pickup combinations
  

The sound is clear in the middle, sparkly up top, and never harsh. Think classic single-coil tone but smoother.

How It Feels?

Weighing about 7.5 pounds, the guitar feels just right not too heavy. The back of the neck has a satin (non-sticky) finish, so your hand glides easily when playing.

It comes with PRS 10-46 strings, tuned to regular EADGBE tuning. The string spacing works well for both chords and solos.

Cool Extras

One standout detail is the inverted headstock. John Mayer liked this idea because it helps the guitar stay in tune better.

Other neat touches:

• A strong metal jack plate so your cable connection lasts longer
  
• Redesigned knobs that are easier to turn
  
• A signature logo and Mayer’s name on the headstock
  

It also comes with a premium gig bag, so you can carry it safely wherever you go.

The PRS Silver Sky isn’t just a celebrity model. It’s made for real players who want top-quality tone and smooth playability. It takes the best parts of old guitars and upgrades them for today.

If you play heavier music or want double-coil pickups, this might not be for you. But if you’re into clean tones, expressive bends, and vintage feel with reliable modern parts, this guitar nails it.

It’s ready for studio work, live shows, or just jamming at home.
