So it comes as no surprise that a guitar player like John Mayer would have a very large collection of guitar effects pedals. However, there is one thing that binds us all together, and that is our love for guitar pedals. This is based on the model that was limited to instruments and sold like hot cakes, and it features and Engelmann spruce top with East Indian rosewood on the back and sides.Every guitar player has a unique preference in tone, genre, brand of guitar, and even guitar picks. At this price, it is still a premium US-built Martin, an aspirational guitar and a dream for most of us, but it is a little more realistic in terms of the price. You would not want to check this in the hold. Mayer says one of the reasons he loves parlor-sized guitars is because they are travel-friendly. Maybe you could write it off as a deductible? Well, something to think about.
And the synchronized tremolo with stamped steel saddles is a lovely piece of hardware. It looks like it dates back to a time when you could smoke a cigarette in a bar. The six-point tremolo makes it nice and easy to tweak intonation. Elsewhere, you have noiseless single coils offering high output with little hum, a tremolo bar that sits parallel to the body allowing downwards wobble only, and a variety of exquisite finishes. The cutaway allows you to reach the spotlight notes the reverse headstock, complete with locking tuners, keeps things nice and solid. Buying a modern production-line guitar with a view to its vintage sell-on potential might be foolhardy, but so too is sitting it out, especially when the PRS Silver Sky is expensive but not eye-wateringly so - at least as far as the prices for high-end guitars go.
Who is to say that the Silver Sky will fall out of production, but look at how many signature guitars that were once super-popular have and then accordingly accrued ridiculous prices on the vintage market. Well, we all know what the number one pick is going to be here, but absent of any suspense or surprise as to the must-have guitar for Mayer fans, may we take this opportunity to urge you to buy one now rather than later. Will it be Mayer-esque, where all in attendance audience with close their eyes and make it look like they have just enjoyed an Alain Ducasse degustation menu?
