The Guitar That Broke The Internet...

[@damiensweeney9805]

that is one of the coolest looking guitars ive ever seen! please make these for sale. or even better, sell me that one lol

[@jongarner]

Just checked, the internet is definitely still working 😂😂😂

[@alfonsoobando3616]

I’m on the interwebz now.

[@blue_mountains28]

Phew!!! Cause I heard on the internet that the internet was broken😂

[@GraemeCampbellMusic]

The one thing that puts me off about the Silver Sky is the white scratch plates. I really think they should release a sunburst black guard version

[@Barracuda007]

I think John Mayer would love this, I think i saw him say somewhere he loves seeing mods of the Silver Sky and seeing players making the guitar their own

[@pramesh.gurung]

Paul doesn’t like it.. i guess

[@yukoncorneliusthelegendhim9751]

@@pramesh.gurung i wish paul would make a relicd silver sky like this, or a sunburst silver sky with the tinted headstock. looks unreal

[@mercury_hatter1257]

No way in hell Paul himself would condone this. Stevie's rolling in his grave

[@ewm335]

John Mayer has said several times he’s not interesting in seeing a sunburst finish on a Silver Sky, so probably not.

[@Just_play_guitar]

This is making a silver Sky into SRV Guitar not making it your own

[@paul_bliven]

Just incredible playing man!!

[@stephenreese9841]

IMHO , that guitar sounds just like, if not better than the Fender version.... but as we all truly know.... it's all in the nands..... excellent job.

[@sroelit]

Surprised at how much I like this. Looks awesome.

[@HexxHenderson]

I think it’s pretty cool and I lived in Austin Texas for a very long time and I would go down to the Rome Inn and see him play all the time it’s still blows my mind that he’s gone! it just seems like yesterday he was knocking around Austin trying to get something to happen just a local cat and now he’s transcended into legend!

[@13setzer]

I absolutely love it. Sounds amazing. Its nice to see a relic'd PRS tbh. Looks good with a bit ware and tare!!

[@pramesh.gurung]

The matching headstock looks really nice. Not a relic fan but Aging is done so well 👌🏽👌🏽.

[@alfredcakeburn1166]

Top job on this Paul well done fella.

[@ToddTheJoker]

Always love your playing John!!! you get the SRV playing and tone completely! the guitar is cool I guess....I bet it was AND will continue to be contentious..lol

[@JeanDo]

Awesome guitar John! Super tone and playing as well 👌🏼

[@ebeep]

Here for the fire playing and tone🔥

[@joshuabeeAlafia1]

Folks can have their own opinions on the relic or whatever, but the fact remains that this guitar has TONE!!!!! it's in the hands too... but the constellation of wood and electronics here come together lovely!

[@keef4937]

Awesome guitar. Sounds almost as good at SRV tone as my Silver Sky with Bonamassa Bonnie pickups. I would love you to try it. I can drop by with it if you want, bet you won’t wanna give it back lol. Great vid as always John.

[@thetribute8155]

Maybe a shout out to the guy who did the relic paint job should be included in the videos. He's done such a great job. Looks like the original!

[@PeachGuitars]

There’s a picture of him at the start

[@gregs8685]

I have a polar SS. I am not a big fan of heavy relic guitar, but do like this. Your tone and playing on this are outstanding!

[@marcaustin]

I love it. Your playing's amazing and thanks for mentioning which amp it's played through

[@kevinalfrey2633]

Sounds great, nice chops 👍😊

[@silverfr3ak]

If you’re hating, remember, it’s just a tool! Clapton, Gilmour and many others sold historic guitars, sometimes even donated them. PRS is around since 1985, so it wasn’t able to be played at the legendary 60s and 70s. It’s a matter of time until more people stop with the nonsense criticism of “soulless”, “too perfect” etc.

[@liuziyu8487]

soulless is the most boomer way to describe a guitar.

[@papasmamas1]

Finally a good looking Silver Sky

[@deanmccaskill5495]

I’ll drink to that!

[@bigjoe5659]

Phenomenal! Top notch craftsmanship.

[@andreaparadiso3805]

Sounds amazing! Crazy that it’s a PRS, but shows what they’re capable of!

[@danielkongmusic]

The SRV Number 1 is one option, but I actually think that the silver sky would make a great canvas to recreate/emulate the SRV Charley Wirz guitars like the Charley lipstick guitar and also the Hamiltone 'couldn't stand the weather guitar'. Those would be sick

[@robertartese808]

Sounds incredible! Your playing really makes it shine and sing! Stevie could have used that!

[@santellavision]

The guitar is fun, but damn, your playing is off-the-charts good.

[@Pantalooj]

When it sounds that good ... doesn't matter what it looks like or what brand name it's got

[@vedder10]

That is actually a very beautiful guitar. Now can we please have a new PRS unboxing video? At least 25 minutes of newly shipped PRS'.

[@AnkurWow]

Yeah, PRS should make these without the "SRV" initials on the pickguard.

[@Duncanlinc]

Why

[@rosieotis]

Love to see Mayer with a “The Black One” version.

[@pauljcat1]

I think the headstock really makes it.

[@Chillnote]

Looks really great!

[@bigbadbri1988]

This looks f'ing sick! Love it

[@Wileylikethehawk]

All I know is I have had dozens of Strats and I bought a silver sky this year and it’s the best sounding one I’ve ever had.

[@x3a3x3]

And yet a MIJ fender strat from the 80’s will probably blow it out of the water… 😂

[@pepmasters-999]

Congratulations on your journey of discovery. Must feel a bit odd to finally discover it wasn't a strat that you wanted all along.

[@TomFeelz]

Sounds & looks incredible. 💪🏼

[@PeterMcphee-s9v]

I would buy that ! sounds amazing and looks good too

[@stevemassarone1470]

Sounds great !

[@MatthijsKoningstein]

My first thought was: "Sacrilege!". But after a few minutes my opinion changed as I'm glad that SRV is still inspiring millions. I think he would love it. I'd love to hear Jimmie's thoughts on it.

[@steved1099]

I think Stevie would have loved it too… I put a comment above saying Stevie painted, scrawled on , put stickers on gutted and totally modded all his guitars. He wasn’t even brand tied either (saw him with lots of makes) in interviews he always said as long as it played and sounded good that’s all that mattered.

[@ewm335]

But we can only guess. Not sure he or Jimmie would love seeing SRV’s name on a guitar he didn’t endorse but who knows. At least they’re not selling them like this.

[@steved1099]

​@ewm335 I get that and that certainly is a different matter. My comment was more the concept of modding, mutilating, making hybrids etc. As we all know Brands are protected by law. The estate would need to approve and certainly take a cut 😊

[@marcotonetti]

If John doesn’t want it, I’ll be happy to buy it! 🙋🏻‍♂️

[@rodolfolarrea8493]

looks awesome 👏🏻

[@timolonnberg3205]

Absolutely gorgeous. SRV look is it’s own thing and does not requige any particular canvas where to put it. Silver Sky is a good looking guitar and sunburst / aging suits it well.

[@Ripperx121]

I think it sounds great. And it is his guitar so what ever makes him happy.

[@Tobajjass]

That smile when John engaged the Duelist, 6:10, tells you it sounds and feels good. I’m still conflicted about the guitar. Body looks great. Not sure what happend to the neck.

[@MichaelBassVideos]

Makes me want to see SIlver Sky version of all our iconic favorites!

[@luckyno888]

The Guitar That Wants To Break My Bank Account.

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

I thought someone put a PRS neck on a fender body, it looks that convincing wow

[@blakejames9952]

I hate it,…honey, get my wallet.

[@iadorasjourney]

Beautiful guitar, really and it sounds amazing! The only thing I don't get is the headstock. Id' probably left it blonde and do the SRV relinking that's for sure...

[@bigjoe5659]

Insane Tone! Beautiful Guitar!

[@Dresdenfolife]

My thing is why didn’t they age the pickup cover and knobs as well? I love relic guitars especially SRV style ones, but it just looks weird with bright new looking knobs. Odd choice.

[@luisfaour6807]

Should replace the inlays with Stevie's Peacocks

[@PeachGuitars]

That would be awesome

[@GoldTopRob]

What fuzz pedal is being used ?

[@PeachGuitars]

Kingtone

[@jeffreysurette1901]

PRS fans, cheers! I am a Fender fan.!

[@danielarendarski8020]

Absolutely fantastic! Presley tell me what brand was those pickups? Was it some noiseless?

[@PeachGuitars]

Other than the relicing done to the Silver Sky by Paul (not PRS Paul!), it's a completely stock 2023 Dodgem Blue Silver Sky which come with 635JM single-coil pickups.

[@JeffMcDonoughMusic]

What exactly are the pick ups in this?

[@steved1099]

From what I have read it’s the standard silver sky pickups. Custom made for John Mayer by PRS to represent vintage 63/64 strat sound. Ironically called the 635JM (635 meaning 63.5 for half way between 63 and 64)

[@rhum66]

What about thé reverse vibrato ?

[@romeoandthelonelygir]

I'm probably being forgetful but has there been an artist where they have two current range electric signatures but from different brands?

[@ohiosouthpaw]

Not current but Joe Pass (Ibanez & Epiphone). Robben Ford (Fender & PRS) if you were wondering that? I’m sure there are some others.

[@pistolgoo]

Kirk Hammett

[@marcotonetti]

I can hear the years you put into studying SRV 😮 Amazing looking guitar, amazing sounding guitar and man also amazing fingers! Best KZbin video in a while! ❤️

[@patricklow5652]

Sounds like the real thing. Is that tuned in Eb?

[@PeachGuitars]

Yeah, e flat!

[@ashtyn2332]

i’d have to drop every penny i have if this ever went for sale

[@RRW276]

I mean, why not? Quite a clever idea, and who doesn’t love something that turns everything on its head? Tone is tight too.

[@yukoncorneliusthelegendhim9751]

paul if you see this please make a pro and se silver sky model with a 2 or 3 tone burst design (with maybe relic being an option in the sig model) with the tinted headstock etc, and with offwhite vintage pickguard and pot options etc. please good sir, please!

[@bigjoe5659]

That neck is insane! I want it done lol

[@Funk11147]

Shouldn’t we have a normal silver sky vs a relic to see if there is a toneall difference between the two?

[@eoinc_Ire]

Will you be showcasing the Rory Gallagher PRS SilverSky next week 😂

[@briankahanek]

To each his own, Not by bag by a long shot.. but it's a nice hat tip to SRV!

[@mkds1109]

Does it have the stock pickups?

[@ThePaulieray]

Yeah all the electronics are stock. Sounds killer

[@joesaxon6566]

Is it all stock except the finish?

[@ThePaulieray]

Yes it’s a silver sky just with the srv aesthetic

[@Tatted-ne7tu]

Gotta admit , I’d take that without blinking an eye.

[@themusicgears]

I actually think it would look pretty in sunburst.

[@peterallen1041]

Very cool 😮

[@maibanez]

I love it!

[@pickledblues]

Now a Gilmour Black Strat version.

[@willharrell100]

Should have replaced bird inlays for peacocks....

[@steved1099]

Gasp what would Stevie think - Stevie was the ultimate customiser... all his guitars were painted on or had his name on the body or neck, upside trems, switched pickups, swapped necks etc etc. I think this one certainly sounds the part too..

[@ehricjasso8359]

Next: Slash Playing his Fender Les Paul with headstock with logo Fender. Controversial but still nice guitar. And aleays amazing videos from Peach Guitars

[@simonliew9728]

Just wondering what gauge is it on?

[@ThePaulieray]

Just 10-46

[@Pt.karolis]

I love it, I'm sure it feels and plays beautifully

[@roccogiampietro4830]

I’m surprised the internet still functions judging by the amount of times it has been broken.

[@mattmanley7118]

Oh boy somehow I knew you’d all do a video ❤ Honestly I don’t see the uproar. I think John himself would appreciate it. If anything it’s just fun!! Folks are too uptight. Mayer has always said he hopes one day the Silver Sky can just be its own thing without his name attached or something similar.

[@Godsman1982]

I love it!!!

[@GerryBlue]

Funny, because in the end, the guitar that they all try to emulate is the Fender Strat 😏

[@hotblackdesiato3451]

Note to self: when relicing a guitar always leave the plastics looking brand new.

[@danielcgomez]

Awesome!

[@jimmyhartman573]

Funny , Fender is in stall 1 doing a Re-wipe !

[@rontidgwell8896]

Needs a left hand bridge.

[@guitarbygus]

Not the dodgem blue 😢 at least do it to a Roxy pink!

[@reverb508]

Broke the internet, eh? Did this video get sent to my phone via Pony Express?

[@PeachGuitars]

It was temporarily broken between 23:53 and 23:58 yesterday

[@Tony_Leonardi.]

That may be the only prs I like!

[@mes12mes]

The best of both worlds, SRV and a Strat.

[@LALtd001]

This is one of the funniest guitars I've ever seen. Once they finally get the left handed SE into production, one of those bridges should go on this to complete the build!

[@davespears2241]

I don't like it I'd put a telecaster neck on it and change the pick guard.

[@stopUkrainewar666]

Aaah yea the sound it is ... 😮

[@eddiejr540]

Don’t get me wrong it looks great…but it looks like they forgot to age the knobs and pickup covers

[@dustinbroussard2653]

This hurts my eyes.

[@potterman83]

Just needs a set of Texas specials and it’ll be perfect 😂

[@vincentvandervaart8019]

A relic prs what?

[@liorauf]

Love it!!!

[@jamesgrobertson8024]

What!!!!! Awesome ❤
