From Collaboration with John Mayer to the SE Series: Silver Sky DNA for Everyone
Born from the PRS x John Mayer collaboration in 2018, the Silver Sky quickly established itself among modern "S-style" references. The SE version makes this aesthetic, ergonomics, and tonal character accessible while retaining the signature codes of the range (635JM profile, dedicated pickups, 2-point tremolo) and a refined finish designed for both stage and studio.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
Versatile and responsive, the SE Silver Sky Maple suits ambitious beginners to seasoned musicians seeking an expressive "S". It excels in pop, funk, soul, blues, and rock, offering enough clarity for crisp rhythms and the definition needed for singing lead lines. Its playability and dynamics make it an excellent foundation for modern effects and pedals.
The Sound
The three 635JM "S" pickups deliver a single-coil sound with a wide range: firm lows, present mids, and smooth highs that are never harsh. The 5-position selector covers the classic neck/center/bridge positions as well as the very funky "quack" intermediate positions. The poplar body provides a clear and quick attack balance, enhanced by the maple neck and maple fingerboard with added brightness and precision. The PRS 2-point steel tremolo offers smooth action and good tuning stability, while the bolt-on neck construction promotes note "snap" and articulation.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To preserve the original feel and balance, choose a set of nickel strings 10-46. Add a quality strap (standard strap buttons), a reliable 6.35 mm jack cable (straight or angled on the guitar side according to your preference), and a stable electric guitar stand. The gig bag is included to protect the instrument daily.
