PRS Silver Sky Satin Faded Black Tee

De Silver Sky is een "vintage-inspired" instrument dat vertrouwd aanvoelt maar tegelijk ook door en door PRS. Dit model is gebaseerd op de favoriete elementen van vintage gitaren (tussen 1963 en 1964) uit de verzameling van Mayer en Smith, hieruit is een perfecte versie van de single-coil gitaar ontstaan.

De meest in het oog springende kenmerken zijn de vorm van de kop, stemmechanieken, hals/toets, brug en de elektronica/elementen. De kop is gebaseerd op de klassieke PRS vorm maar dan in spiegelbeeld, dit is gedaan om de gitaar geschikt te maken voor Mayers speelstijl, maar het heeft ook als voordeel dat de snaarlengte achter de topkam langer is waardoor de gitaar beter in stemming blijft.

De stemmechanieken zijn traditioneel en vintage-style maar wel met het Locking ontwerp van PRS. De halsvorm is gebaseerd op die instrumenten uit 1963/1964 en de toets heeft een radius van 7.25". Als je de hals vastpakt voelt het dan ook meteen goed.

Net als de stemmechanieken neemt de stalen tremolo het klassieke ontwerp en voegt hier een PRS tremolo arm en "Gen III knife-edge" schroeven aan toe. De brug van de Silver Sky is zo afgesteld dat de tremolo alleen omlaag gaat. Doordat de brug in contact blijft met de body is de gitaar ook akoestisch luider wat de signaal/ruis verhouding van de single-coil elementen ten goede komt. De 635JM single-coil elementen klinken rond en vol met een muzikaal hoog dat nooit schel of priemend is.

The Silver Sky is a vin­tage-inspired instrument that is at once familiar but also newly PRS through and through. This model was based off of Mayer and Smith's favorite elements from 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar.

Some of the more distinctive specifications include, the headstock shape, tuners, neck and fretboard, bridge, and pickups and electron­ics. The headstock shape is based on PRS's trademark design, but in­verted to both accommodate Mayer's playing style and also to keep a consistent length of string behind the nut, which makes staying in tune easier.

The tuners are a traditional vintage-style, closed-back tuner, but with PRS's locking design. The neck shape was modeled after 1963/1964 vintage instruments, and the fretboard has a 7.25" radius. The moment your hand grabs this neck, it just feels right.

Like the tuners, the steel tremolo takes a classic design and incorporates PRS's trem arm and Gen 111 knife-edge screws. The bridge on the Silver Sky is setup flush to the body in the neutral position so that the tremolo bridge only goes down in pitch. By keeping the bridge in contact with the body, the guitar itself is acoustically louder, which improves the signal to noise ratio of the single-coil pickups. The 635JM single-coil pickups are very round and full, with a musical high end that is never "ice-picky" or brash.
