The PRS Silver Sky Horizon First Edition from 2018 represents John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith's vision of the ultimate vintage-inspired S-style guitar.

As one of the first 500 Silver Sky guitars ever made, this First Edition features the striking Horizon finish and embodies years of collaboration between Mayer and PRS to create an instrument that captures the essence of vintage single-coil tone while offering modern reliability and playability.

The Silver Sky was born from John Mayer's desire for a guitar that felt like his favorite vintage instruments but could withstand the demands of touring. PRS and Mayer spent years refining every detail, from the 635JM neck profile that perfectly fits Mayer's hand to the 7.25" radius fingerboard that facilitates effortless bending. The three PRS 635JM single-coil pickups deliver the classic chime and sparkle associated with the best vintage S-style guitars, with exceptional clarity across all five positions and a notably quiet performance thanks to careful shielding.

The alder body provides the familiar resonance and tonal balance, while PRS's attention to detail shines through in features like the vintage-style locking tuners that combine classic aesthetics with modern tuning stability. The carefully voiced tremolo system offers smooth, responsive action while returning perfectly to pitch. In near mint condition and delivered in its original hardshell case, this First Edition Silver Sky is not only a highly playable professional instrument but also a collectible piece from the very beginning of this now-iconic model's production run.
