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.
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.
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.
It also has an easy-access truss rod, so you can adjust the neck if the weather makes it bend or twist.
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.
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:
The sound is clear in the middle, sparkly up top, and never harsh. Think classic single-coil tone but smoother.
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.
One standout detail is the inverted headstock. John Mayer liked this idea because it helps the guitar stay in tune better.
Other neat touches:
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.

The PRS Silver Sky is an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar where every detail adds up and sets this guitar apart from the pack and the past. The result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith, the Silver Sky is based off of years of development. Incorporating Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements of 1963 and 1964 instruments with an eye toward modern references, the PRS Silver Sky delivers the warmth and familiarity of an old guitar with the finesse of a brand-new instrument.
Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, bridge, pickups, and neck and fretboard options. The 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. The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with PRS’s locking design. The 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. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never “ice-picky” or brash.
The Silver Sky comes with the option of a rosewood or maple fretboard. The maple fretboard option comes with the original 635JM neck shape, while the rosewood fretboard option has been subtly modified in the shoulders to feel more “rounded” in your hand. Both neck shapes were designed by researching vintage instruments and Mayer test-driving guitars on stage to find what felt right. The fretboard radius on both options is 7.25”.
Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a molded metal jack plate (curved to make plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free), retooled knobs, and PRS’s double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use). PRS premium gig bag included.
