The 2020 PRS John Mayer Silver Sky in Polar Blue with maple fingerboard is a premium USA-made signature electric guitar developed by PRS and John Mayer around the feel, response and tonal character of classic vintage single-coil instruments.

This 2020 example comes from the first year PRS officially introduced the maple-fingerboard Silver Sky alongside the Polar Blue finish, making it a particularly appealing combination within the model's production history.

An alder body, bolt-on maple neck, 7.25" fingerboard radius and trio of PRS 635JM single-coil pickups give the Silver Sky a familiar vintage-inspired foundation, while PRS locking tuners, a carefully engineered steel tremolo and precise modern construction bring greater consistency and refinement.

This Pre-Owned example is in Very Good condition, weighs an actual 7.12 lbs, carries serial number 20 0311765, and includes a gigbag.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Silver Sky was designed to capture the responsiveness and clarity associated with great vintage single-coil guitars while applying PRS's highly consistent approach to construction and setup.

This maple-fingerboard example has a particularly immediate feel, with the 7.25" radius and 635JM neck carve providing a deliberately vintage-inspired playing experience. The 635JM pickups offer plenty of clarity and detail without becoming excessively sharp, making the guitar useful across clean rhythm work, blues, pop, rock, funk and more effects-heavy styles.

At an actual 7.12 lbs, this particular guitar is also relatively light and comfortable for a full-size professional electric guitar.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Alder Body

The Silver Sky uses an alder body, giving it a balanced tonal foundation with strong clarity, controlled low end and the familiar response associated with many classic single-coil electric guitars.

Maple Neck & Fingerboard

This 2020 example features a maple neck and maple fingerboard. PRS introduced the maple-fingerboard Silver Sky as a regular production option in 2020, retaining the original 635JM neck shape and vintage-inspired 7.25" radius.

635JM Neck Carve

The maple-fingerboard version uses John Mayer's original 635JM neck shape, developed around vintage instruments and refined through Mayer's own stage testing. It has a substantial but comfortable feel that avoids the extremely thin profiles found on many modern performance guitars.

7.25" Fingerboard Radius

The traditional 7.25" radius gives the Silver Sky a distinctly vintage-inspired feel under the fretting hand, particularly for chord work and rhythm playing, while careful fretwork helps maintain smooth playability across the neck.

PRS 635JM Single-Coil Pickups

Three PRS 635JM single-coil pickups provide the heart of the Silver Sky's sound. They are voiced for a rounded, full response with musical high frequencies, giving the guitar clear articulation without excessive harshness.

Five-Way Switching

The 5-way blade selector provides the familiar range of bridge, bridge/middle, middle, middle/neck and neck pickup combinations, giving the Silver Sky exceptional versatility from bright rhythm tones through warmer lead and clean sounds.

PRS Steel Tremolo

The PRS steel tremolo takes the familiar vintage tremolo concept and combines it with PRS engineering, including Gen III knife-edge screws and PRS's own tremolo arm design.

Vintage-Style Locking Tuners

The vintage-style tuners retain a traditional appearance while incorporating PRS's locking mechanism, helping make string changes quicker and contributing to stable tuning.

Bone Nut

A bone nut provides a traditional premium material at a critical contact point between the strings and neck, complementing the vintage-inspired design.

Polar Blue Finish

Polar Blue was introduced as a new Silver Sky colour for 2020, the same year the maple-fingerboard option entered regular production. The combination gives this guitar a particularly recognisable early maple Silver Sky specification.

7.12 lbs Actual Weight

This individual guitar weighs 7.12 lbs, giving buyers a precise indication of how this particular Silver Sky will feel rather than relying on a generic catalogue figure.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The PRS John Mayer Silver Sky is particularly well suited to professional players, serious enthusiasts and guitarists looking for a premium vintage-inspired single-coil electric with modern build consistency.

It works especially well for players who like traditional S-style ergonomics but want something with its own PRS construction approach and John Mayer-specific specification.

The maple-fingerboard version may be especially appealing to players who prefer a slightly more immediate feel and the classic visual combination of a maple neck with a solid-colour body.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Silver Sky is exceptionally versatile and works well for blues, pop, funk, soul, rock, indie, country, fusion, clean rhythm work and studio sessions.

The bridge pickup gives articulate, cutting rhythm tones, the neck pickup provides a warmer and fuller response, and the in-between settings are particularly useful for cleaner chord work and funk-style playing.

It also responds extremely well to overdrive, compression, delay, reverb and modulation effects.

HOW IT COMPARES

PRS Silver Sky vs Traditional S-Style Guitar

The Silver Sky retains the familiar 25.5" scale, three-single-coil layout and double-cutaway format associated with classic S-style instruments, but combines those ideas with PRS-specific pickups, locking tuners, tremolo design and construction methods.

Maple Silver Sky vs Rosewood Silver Sky

The maple-fingerboard Silver Sky uses the original 635JM neck carve, while rosewood-fingerboard versions use a subtly revised shape with slightly different shoulder contours. Both use a 7.25" radius but provide a somewhat different feel and aesthetic.

USA Silver Sky vs SE Silver Sky

The USA-made Silver Sky uses an alder body, USA 635JM pickups, 7.25" radius, bone nut and PRS locking tuners. The SE version is designed as a more accessible interpretation with different materials, pickups and an 8.5" fingerboard radius.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Professional players, serious enthusiasts and guitarists who want a premium USA-made vintage-inspired single-coil instrument.

Customers usually upgrade from: Fender American-series guitars, PRS SE Silver Sky models and other high-quality production S-style electrics.

Most commonly paired with: Clean and edge-of-breakup valve amps, compressors, overdrive pedals, delay, reverb and modulation effects.

Our tip: The 7.25" radius is an important part of the Silver Sky's character. Players coming from flatter modern fingerboards may notice the difference immediately, but it contributes strongly to the vintage-inspired feel that defines the model.

Showroom feedback: At 7.12 lbs, this Polar Blue maple-fingerboard example combines an appealing weight with one of the most distinctive early Silver Sky specifications. The 2020 production year is also significant as the launch year for both the maple-fingerboard option and Polar Blue finish.
