Essential Information About the PRS SE Silver Sky Maple LH ?Summit Purple? Guitar
- Left-handed version of the John Mayer signature: Silver Sky ergonomics, maple fingerboard, and 635JM neck profile for a natural feel.
- Three 635JM ?S? single-coil pickups + 5-way selector: clear, precise, and versatile tone, from snappy funk to melodic rock.
- PRS 2-point steel vibrato and vintage tuners: reliable expressiveness and excellent tuning stability.

From the PRS x John Mayer Collaboration to an Accessible Icon
Designed in 2018 with John Mayer, the Silver Sky modernized the aesthetics and ?feel? of classic single-coil solidbodies. The SE series captures its DNA ? familiar silhouette, reversed headstock for lefties, ?Small Birds? inlays ? in a carefully crafted and more affordable build. The ?Summit Purple? finish adds a contemporary touch without betraying the original spirit.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Tailored for demanding left-handed players, it suits intermediate and advanced levels perfectly, while remaining accessible to motivated beginners. Its quick response and natural dynamics serve pop, funk, soul, blues, rock, and indie: percussive rhythms, crystalline arpeggios, and singing solos immediately find their place in the mix.
The Sound
The 635JM ?S? single-coils deliver bright clarity, silky mids, and tight lows. The poplar body contributes to a balanced and lightweight foundation, while the maple neck/fingerboard combo enhances attack and definition. The 5-way selector offers the full expected palette: crystalline neck position, funky ?quack? in positions 2 and 4, and a sharper bridge pickup for cutting through the band. The 2-point steel PRS vibrato guarantees smooth nuances and consistent sustain, aided by the synthetic bone nut for tuning stability.
