The PRS SE John Mayer Silver Sky Piano BlackSignature guitar at a glance:
With the PRS SE John Mayer Silver Sky, the iconic signature model of the American singer/songwriter and seven-time Grammy winner is now available as part of the SE lineup. Here, the SE John Mayer Silver Sky offers all the features that made it's Core Series counterpart an absolute surprise hit and presents four brand-new colour finishes as well as a useful adjustment or two that optimizes the basic design of the Silver Sky for modern uses.
Doublecut body made of poplar
Of course, the body shaping of the poplar body follows the ergonomic specifications of the original and offers a comfortable playing feel both when standing and sitting thanks to the practical Forearm Contour and slim Tummy Cut on the back. It also features the classic cutaway scoop on the lower body horn, which gives the picking hand additional freedom when playing in the higher registers.
A successful offshoot of the wildly popular Core model, the PRS SE John Mayer Silver Sky presents customized features and new color finishes.
Rosewood fingerboard with Small Bird inlays
As the most important distinguishing feature of a genuine PRS guitar, classic Bird inlays naturally cannot be missing! These are embedded in the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard as 'Small Birds' version, which now also supports precise bending and improved handling of the high E-string with an extended fingerboard radius of 8.5". On the flip side, the PRS SE Silver Sky features a classic bolt-on maple neck with a 635JM profile featuring the unique shaping of the Core model.
635JM "S" Single Coils
Three 635JM "S" single coils in the neck, middle and bridge positions of the PRS SE Silver Sky provide matching sounds in all registers. The pickups, originally designed for the US-made Silver Sky, have been adapted to the configuration of the SE Silver Sky in the "S" version to elicit amazing musical qualities from the instrument's poplar body. All three pickups are wired according to the classic recipe with a 5-way blade switch, a master volume control and two additional tone controls for neck and middle position.
This guitar looks and sounds great - it's like the birthchild of a fender strat and PRS , it's sounds are amazing and it plays great with a nice fast neck. You'll not be sorry if you buy this, dv247 also provided an excellent sales and delivery service, an excellent all round experience.
