PRS SE Silver Sky Electric Guitar - Trad Blue | No Limit Guitar Co
The PRS SE Silver Sky electric guitar brings John Mayer's iconic signature model to a broader audience with exceptional build quality and authentic vintage-inspired tone. Featuring a resonant poplar body, comfortable maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and three 635JM "S" single-coil pickups, this instrument delivers the sparkling clarity and dynamic response that defined a generation of guitar tone. Perfect for intermediate to professional players seeking classic single-coil character with modern PRS craftsmanship and reliability.
Product Overview
The SE Silver Sky showcases a sleek double-cutaway poplar body finished in stunning Trad Blue, combining timeless design with contemporary PRS aesthetics. The lightweight poplar construction provides balanced tonal response with strong midrange presence while ensuring playing comfort during extended sessions. Smooth body contours and ergonomic shaping allow effortless access to upper frets, making this guitar equally suited for rhythm work and expressive lead playing whether you're seated or standing on stage.
The multi-ply maple neck features the 635JM profile—a slightly rounded, vintage-inspired shape that provides comfort for chord work without feeling chunky during lead passages. Topped with a smooth rosewood fingerboard sporting an 8.5" radius and 22 frets across a 25.5" scale length, the neck offers the perfect balance between classic feel and modern playability. PRS's signature small bird inlays add elegant visual appeal while the rosewood contributes warmth and tonal depth to the guitar's overall voice.
Three 635JM "S" single-coil pickups deliver the sparkling clarity, vintage warmth, and dynamic touch sensitivity that John Mayer's tone is known for. These carefully voiced pickups provide balanced articulation across the frequency spectrum, from glassy, bell-like highs to full-bodied lows with excellent note definition. The five-way blade switch offers versatile tonal options, while master volume and dual tone controls allow intuitive sound shaping. A two-point steel tremolo bridge enables expressive pitch control while maintaining exceptional tuning stability for confident performance.

Key Features
635JM "S" Single-Coil Pickups
These custom-voiced pickups capture the essence of classic single-coil tone with sparkling highs, articulate midrange, and full low-end response. Designed specifically for the Silver Sky model, they deliver exceptional dynamic range and touch sensitivity, responding expressively to your playing nuances whether you're executing delicate fingerpicking or aggressive rhythm work.
Ergonomic Poplar Body
The lightweight poplar body provides balanced tonal characteristics with pronounced midrange presence and excellent resonance. Deep body contours and smooth curves ensure playing comfort during marathon sessions, while the double-cutaway design grants unrestricted access to all 22 frets for seamless lead playing across the entire fingerboard.
635JM Maple Neck Profile
This vintage-inspired neck shape offers the best of both worlds—substantial enough for confident chord playing yet sleek enough for fast, fluid lead work. The multi-ply maple construction adds structural stability and bright tonal character, while the smooth satin finish allows your hand to glide effortlessly up and down the neck.
Rosewood Fingerboard with 8.5" Radius
The rosewood fingerboard contributes warmth and harmonic complexity to the guitar's tone while providing a smooth, natural playing surface. The 8.5" radius facilitates easy string bending and comfortable chord voicings, striking an ideal balance between vintage feel and modern playability for diverse playing styles.
Two-Point Steel Tremolo System
This thoughtfully designed tremolo bridge delivers smooth, responsive pitch modulation while maintaining excellent tuning stability. Paired with a synthetic bone nut that improves string alignment and vintage-style tuners for precise adjustments, the hardware package ensures consistent intonation and reliable performance whether you're using subtle vibrato or dramatic dive bombs.
