"John Mayer's PRS SE Silver Sky Rosewood receives a revamp, featuring four brand-new, solid-color finishes drawing inspiration from classic American style"
In a recent announcement, PRS Guitars has introduced four new solid-color finishes for the SE version of John Mayer's Silver Sky signature guitar. The new color finishes – Derby Red, Trad Blue, Laurel Green, and a bright yellow called Dandy Lion – are inspired by traditional American fashion and represent time-tested hues that have been popular for decades.
John Mayer collaborated with PRS Guitars to create these fresh finishes, aiming to blend classic style with bold, eye-catching colors. The SE Silver Sky colorways represent a design evolution that emphasizes a vintage aesthetic reminiscent of classic Stratocasters, while maintaining the guitar’s original build qualities like the poplar body, bolt-on maple neck with a John Mayer signature 635JM profile, rosewood fretboard with bird inlays, and three vintage-voiced 635JM “S” single-coil pickups.
The more affordable version of the Silver Sky remains a formidable guitar, offering a lot for the money. It features a 2-point steel tremolo system, vintage-style nickel tuners, a synthetic bone nut, and a multi-ply white pickguard. The guitar ships in a padded gig bag.
In addition to the rosewood fretboard models, PRS Guitars has also made available the maple fretboard version of the SE Silver Sky in the same four new finishes: Moon White, Stone Blue, Summit Purple, and Nylon Blue. The maple fretboard version of the SE Silver Sky is reminiscent of this year’s Roxy Pink, a popular color.
According to John Mayer, the new SE Silver Sky colorways are "time-tested hues that have been popular through decades." He further described them as "inspired by traditional American fashion." The new finishes offer a diverse range of options for guitarists seeking a unique and timeless look for their instrument.
The PRS SE Silver Sky is available for £/$849 street, making it a serious electric guitar for under £/$1000. This price point makes it accessible to a wide range of players while still offering the quality and tone associated with PRS Guitars.
In conclusion, the new color finishes for John Mayer's PRS SE Silver Sky signature guitar offer a fresh take on a classic design, blending traditional American fashion with bold, eye-catching colors. The SE Silver Sky remains a formidable guitar, offering a lot for the money, and the new color options provide a diverse range of choices for guitarists seeking a unique and timeless look for their instrument.
