2019 PRS Silver Sky, John Mayer Signature, Moc Sand Finish
Average Price: $2300 (new)
The Silver Sky has received a lot of flak and criticism when it was first introduced to the guitar market. A lot of skeptics + traditionalists claimed that "PRS made a knockoff version of the Stratocaster". Which is true in a sense..
From far away, this Silver Sky does indeed look like any other Fender Stratocaster (minus the PRS headstock design). It features the same Strat-style body build, same 3 single coil pickups, same 5 way selector switch, same 3 knobs, etc.
However from up close, you can see some key design differences from this Silver Sky to a traditional Strat. The main difference (for me) are the PRS + JM custom design pickups (PRS 635 JM), slightly difference output jack design, slightly different 3 knob designs, push/pull whammy bar bridge, as well as a slightly different 5 way selector tip switch.
PRS basically took all the "flaws" of a Fender Stratocaster and tweaked it slightly to make it much more enjoyable and easy for the player to play this instrument. For example, the 3 knobs are much more sensitive to touch than a traditional Strat. The 5 way selector switch is much more firm to the touch when changing positions. The PRS headstock design has been reversed to improve the tuning stability + intonation of the guitar.
It is clear that all the slight tweaks made on this Silver Sky was done for a reason.. In my opinion, John Mayer + Paul Reed Smith has thought this Silver Sky through for a very long time.. Overall very impressed with this guitar.
