PRS Silver Sky
Die Kooperation der beiden Legenden John Mayer und Paul Reed Smith resultierte in einer rießigen Erschütterung in der Welt der E-Gitarre. Die PRS Silver Sky ist eine Gitarre mit einem klassischen Design, die auf der Grundlage von John Mayers Lieblingsgitarren aus den 1960er Jahren entwickelt wurde. Die Gitarren bieten eine perfekte Kombination aus Vintage-Ästhetik und moderner Funktionalität.
Klassisches Design
Das Design der Gitarren basiert auf den ST-Gitarren der 60er Jahre. Hierbei wurden allerdings zahlreiche Modifikationen vorgenommen, um die Gitarren noch weiter zu verbessern. Die Basis der Gitarre wird von einem Erlen Korpus gebildet. Der verschraubte Ahornhals mit Vintageprofil ist wahlweise mit Palisander oder Ahorn Griffbrett erhältlich. Die begehrten Vogelinlays sind aber immer mit dabei. Selbst die patentierte Kopfplatte wurde auf den Wunsch von John Mayer verändert.
Unschlagbarer Sound
Der Sound der Silver Sky ist mindestens genauso beeindruckend wie das Design. Die Gitarren sind mit drei, speziell für die Silver Sky entwickelten 635 JM Single-Coil Pickups ausgestattet. Diese liefern einen klaren transparenten Sound mit einem gewissen Vintage Flair. Der einzigartige Sound der Silver Sky eignet sich herausragend für viele unterschiedliche Musikrichtungen.
Moderne Bespielbarkeit
Ein großes Augenmerk beim Design der Silver Sky wurde auf die Bespielbarkeit geworfen. Hierbei kommen viele kleine Details zusammen die einen großen Unterschied im Spielerkomfort machen. Hierzu zählt ein 7,25" Griffbrettradius, ein Vintage-inspiriertes Halsprofil sowie ein vergrößerter Cutaway im Korpus. Ein von PRS entwickeltes Tremolosystem ist auch mit dabei.

PRS Guitars sets its own standards when it comes to electric guitars. At session you will find not only the high class PRS custom shop guitars but also models from the mid-price range and electric basses from PRS. At NAMM 2016, PRS is taking a look into the past and, with the CE 24 models, has been presenting guitars with screw-on neck and maple necks in their main range for many years, which offer an interesting alternative to traditional construction. Later, the collaboration with John Mayer resulted in an incredibly successful instrument, the Silver Sky series, which was initially supplemented by additional colors and later by a cheaper SE series .
Through his great passion for guitar building and meticulous research and optimization of his models, company founder Paul Reed Smith has been creating instruments that are rightly considered true works of art for over 40 years. Not only guitar legends like Carlos Santana play the high-quality PRS guitars from the standard series, the exclusive Private Stock or even the cheaper SE production.
Paul Reed Smith is making a name for himself
The American guitar maker PRS Guitars was officially founded in 1985, but the company's founder and namesake, Paul Reed Smith, has been making guitars since around 1975. By giving his guitars to stars like Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Peter Frampton and convincing them directly, his instruments became more and more famous. Series production of the Custom 24 finally began in 1985. With former Gibson President Ted McCarty, Paul Reed Smith was able to gain an experienced consultant and the course was set for success for the guitars with the typical bird inlays in the fretboard .
Every guitar is a custom shop model
PRS guitars tend to be in the higher price ranges because of the high-quality materials and careful workmanship. The SE line, which has been manufactured in Korea and is of a high quality despite cheaper materials, has existed since the 1990s. The S2 series forms a link because the instruments are made in the USA, but are still quite affordable.
PRS calls all instruments custom shop instruments due to the high quality and customization options, but with the private stock instruments the company goes one step further and sets real standards in terms of materials, quality, originality and individuality. All PRS guitars have one thing in common: they are real workhorses with a lot of flexibility and look outrageously good at the same time. This can also be seen in the countless endorsers who swear by their PRS , as well as the numerous signature models from artists such as John Mayer, Carlos Santana, Orianthi, Mark Tremonti and Chad Kroeger.
