The new PRS Silver Sky Lunar Ice, John Mayer Limited Edition

"You're trying to make a guitar that isn't there yet, but you already know exactly what it's supposed to be"

That's what John Mayer says about his new PRS Silver Sky Lunar Ice. Perhaps this new Paul Reed Smith guitar is the most eagerly anticipated guitar for this year and now it is finally here. This time in a limited run of 1,000 available worldwide. Last time PRS only made 500 John Mayer models (The Nebula), but they sold out so quickly that they became instant collectors items. Fortunately, this time PRS opted for slightly better availability, but we think this new model will be very, very popular as well.

Why?

First, because Paul Reed Smith might just be the coolest guitar maker in the world right now. A living legend that just keeps on moving on and makes great guitars with a lot of love, craftsmanship and without any nonsense. From high-end supermodels to affordable allrounders, PRS offers it all. Mr. Smith could just lean back after all he accomplished, but he just doesn't.

So this year Paul Reed Smith presents 10 new models at the NAMM 2021 Show. He could have gone the easy way and offer exactly the same John Mayer guitars as last year, and without a doubt they would fly off the shelf. But that's not how Paul and John see this adventure. Because that's it for them: a 'never-ending-guitarstory', where they spend hours on the phone, talking about guitars, music and life, sending prototypes back and forth in search of what they have seen in their minds-eyes and -ears, but not yet in real life. 

Simply because making music is constantly changing. Like John Mayer says: 'It's fluid', and that means endless tweaking and trying to redefine your instrument. With this model, that means a long-awaited maple fretboard, crisp pick-ups that sound super transparent and a unique polychromatic 'flip flop' finish that changes colors like a chameleon with every move.
