PRS Guitars knows how to make an entrance, and the new Silver Sky Wild Blue Limited Edition is exactly that : bold, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. This latest addition to the Silver Sky family isn’t just another colourway. It marks a first for the model, featuring a matching painted headstock, something fans have been asking for quietly and persistently over the years.
Wild Blue now joins an extremely exclusive club. Before this, only Nebula and Lunar Ice had earned limited edition Silver Sky status, making this release feel instantly collectible. And visually, it delivers. The turquoise inspired blue finish feels alive under light — classy enough for a studio session, loud enough to steal attention on stage.
John Mayer himself had a personal connection to the shade.
“As a watch collector, turquoise blue is a color that has always evoked excitement,” Mayer shared. “So a limited-edition Silver Sky in turquoise is the perfect crossover. I hope it brings a smile to both guitar players and watch enthusiasts alike.”
That crossover energy shows. The Wild Blue doesn’t scream for attention, it earns it.
Familiar feel, fresh attitude
Beyond the finish, this is still very much the Silver Sky players know and love. The guitar carries Mayer’s signature 635JM pickups, delivering that unmistakable balance of warmth, clarity, and articulation. The alder body, 25.5-inch scale length, and maple neck keep things comfortably familiar, whether you’re playing blues, pop, or long, expressive solos.
Interestingly, Wild Blue isn’t a new idea pulled out of nowhere. The colour was actually prototyped early on in the PRS–John Mayer relationship, making this release feel less like a trend move and more like a moment that was waiting for the right time.
A limited run with real personality
What makes the Silver Sky Wild Blue special isn’t just that it’s rare, it’s that it feels intentional. It doesn’t try to reinvent the Silver Sky formula. Instead, it adds character, confidence, and a bit of playful flair to a guitar that’s already become a modern classic.
For players who want something familiar but different, refined but fun, this might be the Silver Sky that finally pulls them in. And for collectors, it’s one of those releases you don’t want to regret missing.
Sometimes, all it takes is the right shade of blue.
