PRS Silver Sky | Black Plum Satin *New Color*

The PRS Silver Sky has become one of the most respected modern interpretations of a vintage-style single‑coil guitar, born from the close collaboration between John Mayer and PRS. For 2026, PRS introduces an all‑new finish that adds a darker, moodier character to the lineup: Black Plum Satin.

This new color is a striking departure from the brighter pastel tones often associated with the Silver Sky. Black Plum Satin blends deep aubergine purple with subtle black undertones, creating a finish that shifts dramatically depending on the lighting. Under stage lights it reveals hints of rich plum and wine‑colored depth, while in lower light it reads very dark purple, giving the guitar a refined, stealthy elegance. The satin nitro finish enhances the organic feel of the instrument while allowing the color to display a soft, velvety sheen rather than a glossy glare.

Beneath the new look is the same formula that made the Silver Sky a modern classic. An alder body delivers balanced resonance and vintage‑inspired response, while the maple neck with PRS’s 635JM carve feels comfortably substantial yet fast. The rosewood fretboard with a vintage‑correct 7.25” radius and small bird inlays captures the familiar feel of classic instruments while maintaining the precision PRS is known for.

At the heart of the tone are the PRS 635JM single‑coil pickups, voiced specifically for Mayer’s playing style. They deliver full low‑end warmth, clear mids, and sweet high‑end chime without the harshness often associated with vintage single coils. Whether you’re chasing glassy cleans, expressive blues phrasing, or edge‑of‑breakup rhythm tones, the Silver Sky responds with remarkable dynamic sensitivity.

PRS completes the package with a steel tremolo with Gen III knife‑edge screws, a bone nut, and vintage‑style locking tuners, ensuring smooth vibrato performance and dependable tuning stability both on stage and in the studio.

With its new Black Plum Satin finish, the 2026 Silver Sky brings a fresh visual personality to one of PRS’s most celebrated models—equal parts modern refinement and vintage‑inspired soul.
