Silver Sky - Faded Black Tee with Maple Fretboard

PRS Silver Sky — Faded Black Tee with Maple Fretboard

The Silver Sky started with a question: what would a vintage-inspired single-coil guitar look like if you rebuilt it from scratch with no compromises? John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith spent years answering it. The result is a guitar that feels immediately familiar yet plays better than anything it's referencing — tighter tolerances, more consistent fretwork, and pickups voiced to capture the magic of the originals without the noise or inconsistency.

Construction & Hardware

• Alder body with thin satin Faded Black Tee finish — lightweight, resonant, and understated in the best way
• Bolt-on maple neck with 635JM profile — developed specifically for this guitar, comfortable for both rhythm and lead
• Maple fretboard with 7.25" radius — vintage feel with effortless bends and smooth chord work
• PRS steel tremolo bridge with locking tuners — stays in tune through aggressive use, returns to pitch reliably
• 25.5" scale length — snappy, articulate, and familiar to single-coil players

Pickups & Controls

• 635JM single-coil pickups — warm, glassy, and punchy with the harmonic complexity of vintage single-coils
• Quiet by single-coil standards — designed to minimize hum without sacrificing character
• Maple fretboard adds snappy top-end clarity that cuts beautifully in a mix
• 5-way switching covers the full range from thick neck warmth to bright, chimey bridge tones

Who Is This For?

The Silver Sky is for the player who has tried every vintage-style single-coil on the market and found something lacking — in feel, in consistency, or in build quality. This is what happens when two perfectionists spend years getting every detail right. The Faded Black Tee finish keeps it visually clean and stage-ready without drawing attention away from the playing.
