PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Electric Guitar - Midnight Rose
The PRS John Mayer Silver Sky in Midnight Rose pairs a rich, moody finish with the vintage-inspired feel and tone that made this guitar a modern classic, now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Designed by Paul Reed Smith to John Mayer’s specs, it delivers glassy, chiming single-coil tones with a warm, full body. It suits everyone from developing players to touring professionals.
Product Overview
The alder body wears a high-gloss nitrocellulose finish in Midnight Rose, a deep, elegant color that gains character as the nitro ages. Nickel hardware and PRS’s molded metal jack plate add classic touches. This example weighs 7.2 lbs.
The maple neck is carved in the 635JM-R profile, with shoulders gently rounded for a comfortable, broken-in grip. Its rosewood fretboard has PRS bird inlays, a 7.25" vintage radius, 22 custom-sized frets, and a 25.5" scale. A bone nut, the inverted PRS headstock, and vintage-style locking tuners work together for smooth, stable tuning.
Three 635JM single-coils deliver a round, full voice with sweet highs that stay musical instead of harsh. They’re quieter than vintage-spec pickups, and positions 2 and 4 are noise-canceling. The steel tremolo with Gen III knife-edge screws sits flat on the body and only goes down in pitch, which adds resonance and helps keep the guitar in tune.
Ideal For
- Blues and neo-soul players after warm, glassy single-coil tone with plenty of chime
- Guitarists who prefer the warmth and feel of a rosewood fretboard
- John Mayer fans looking for his signature guitar in a distinctive, eye-catching finish
- Worship and session players needing quiet, consistent single-coils
- Players searching for a vintage-style single-coil guitar with modern reliability
Key Features
635JM-R Neck with Rosewood Fretboard
The rosewood-board neck has slightly rounded shoulders for a vintage, played-in feel. The 7.25" radius makes chords and rhythm parts feel effortless.
PRS 635JM Single-Coils
These pickups produce full, chiming tones with excellent note definition. They respond beautifully to tube amps, from sparkling cleans to warm breakup.
High-Gloss Nitro Finish
The thin nitro lacquer lets the alder body resonate freely. It wears naturally over time, giving the guitar its own character.
Flush-Mounted Steel Tremolo
The bridge rests on the body and moves only downward, boosting acoustic volume and tuning stability. PRS’s unthreaded arm adjusts with a small set screw for a perfect fit.
Vintage-Style Locking Tuners
Closed-back tuners keep the vintage look while locking for quick, stable string changes. Combined with the inverted headstock, they help the guitar stay in tune.
