PRS SILVER SKY SATIN JM MAPLE FB 82-FADED BLACK TEE

The Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that feels familiar yet thoroughly PRS. This model is based on favorite elements from vintage guitars (between 1963 and 1964) in Mayer and Smiths collection, resulting in a perfect version of the single-coil guitar.The most striking features are the headstock shape, tuners, neck/fretboard, bridge, and electronics/pickup. The headstock is based on the classic PRS shape but reversed. This was done to suit Mayers playing style, but also has the advantage of longer string length behind the nut, which helps the guitar stay in tune better.The tuners are traditional and vintage-style, but with PRSs locking design. The neck shape is based on those instruments from 1963/1964, and the fingerboard has a 7.25 radius. The moment you grab the neck, it immediately feels right.Like the tuners, the steel tremolo takes the classic design and adds a PRS tremolo arm and Gen III knife-edge screws. The Silver Skys bridge is set up so the tremolo only moves downward. Because the bridge remains in contact with the body, the guitar is also acoustically louder, which benefits the signal-to-noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups sound round and full, with a musical high end that is never harsh or harsh.

The Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smiths favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar.
Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, and pickups and electronics. The headstock shape is based on PRSs trademark design, but inverted to both accommodate Mayers 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 PRSs locking design. The neck shape was modeled after 1963/1964 vintage instruments, and the fretboard has a 7.25 radius. The moment your hand grabs this neck, it just feels right.Like the tuners, the steel tremolo takes a classic design and incorporates PRSs trem arm and Gen 111 knife-edge screws. The bridge on the Silver Sky is setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch. By keeping the bridge in contact with the body, the guitar itself is acoustically louder, which 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.
