Discover the PRS SE Silver Sky John Mayer Signature in detail
About John Mayer
John Mayer initially attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston , but left in the second semester. At Berklee he wanted to develop further as a guitarist, but he increasingly concentrated on songwriting . Instead of continuing to study, he went to Atlanta with a friend from college in the summer of 1998 to pursue a career in music. After several festival appearances, he released his debut album Room for Squares in 2001. The album spawned numerous radio hits in the US, including No Such Thing, Your Body Is a Wonderland and Why Georgia . In 2003, John Mayer won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for Your Body Is a Wonderland . His first four albums all achieved platinum status, and the three subsequent albums , Born and Raised, Paradise Valley and The Search for Everything, were at least gold. John Mayer, who is considered a passionate guitar lover and collector, now owns around 200 guitars. In addition to the Martin OMJM in various versions and the now discontinued Fender "The Black One" Stratocaster, the PRS Silver Sky is probably his most famous signature model.

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.
