Player's Perspective

We are excited to offer this Dodgem Blue PRS Silver Sky guitar with a hard PRS case! Unleash your musical creativity!

This is an amazing guitar, deserving of the upgrade from the gig bag to the hard case. The overall fit and finish of the this guitar makes it the strat that so many of musicians have been waiting for. The overall feel of the neck, a hybrid between John Mayer's 2 favorite strats (a '63 and a '64), is one of sheer perfection. The neck is effortless to play and the shape is incredibly comfortable. It feels absolutely amazing.

The pickups nail the vintage tone. They're extremely rich harmonically and really sing. The dynamics of the guitar and the pickups help to really give you everything from mellow, warm, and sweet, to snappy, spanky, and bright based on your playing style. Not only is it a joy to play, but this Silver Sky delivers incredible tones!

At the end of the day, the concept behind this guitar is a simple one - It's Paul Smith and John Mayer collaborating on their take on what the perfect strat should be. Far be it for us to say that this is the most perfect strat ever... But boy, it's hard to argue with the results. They speak for themselves. This has got to be considered by anybody that needs a pro-level strat that is going to be built with finesse and refinements where needed, but still feels like a great strat should.

Manufacturer's Description

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 (Note: This one is a maple fretboard). 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.
