My 2nd Silver Sky. Got it because I wanted to have a backup Strat-style guitar & the color just blew me away when it came out. After a few months with it, I decided I wanted an actual Fender Strat instead of two SS. I tend to gravitate towards my '22 Silver Sky so at this point I have the '25 because of looks.

Some cosmetic wear on the nitro finish due to gigging (buckle rash, some fading on the armrest, pick wear, a scratch on the lower side from when the pickguard was replaced) & the straps on the gig bag have seen better days.

It has the original pickguard & papers.

Overall it's an amazing high performance instrument. Comfortable, not heavy, beautiful, plays like a dream, your hand just glides though the neck without resistance. I just don't want two of the same. I want a little bit of a variation. The Faded Black Tee is sexy, slick and modern. Kind of like a modern BLK1, but it's time to let it go.

Reach For The Sky

“It’s been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. 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

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.
