800 or 900 dollars is not a price for people who want to start playing guitar. I would buy one because I could afford it compared to the other more expensive version. I also have a Fender American Standard Strat and have playing for more than 20 years.

[@fagyu7502]

Pretty weird to me how he talked about playability and setups on a ,,budget" guitar, I have a 200 dollar guitar and while it was pretty badly set up at first just bring it to any guitar repair guy or a luthier and theyll do an amazing setup, fix the fret edges, action, intonation, you don't need a 1000 dollar guitar for that

[@Canteaus]

It's great how JM and PRS are emphasizing the "feel" and intonation of the guitar, which is what really separates the expensive ones from the cheap ones.

[@Canteaus]

@Mark Seymour Nope, some guitars just cannot be set up with proper intonation. If all of yours are, good for you. But the fact is, there are even some expensive guitars that cannot be intonnated by the best techs. Even the same guitar can differ model by model. That's why JM said he had such a hard time in the studio with that song. Do you think he was lacking good gear or techs? Good intonation requires precision across every part of the guitar and design foresight; which is a very expensive thing to replicate on a mass manufacturing scale. (Also, a guitar's scale length can also impact intonation abilities).

[@Canteaus]

@Mark Seymour my "nope" was directed at your comment saying that it was an odd sales approach. Assuming you are an experienced guitar player, you have the benefit of knowing what guitars have good intonation, regardless of price. This, unfortunately, is not something that can be easily felt by beginners. This is why I think this sales approach was so honest and true to what beginners really need. They emphasize that they focused on intonation so that beginners dont need to worry about. Whether an 800 dollar guitar is truly a beginner's guitar is another story... haha

[@Canteaus]

​@Mark Seymour Hey Mark, all of the things that you mentioned are variables that could go wrong in a cheaper guitar. I understand your logic about how setting up intonation should "theoretically" not be a difficult thing, but in reality, it can be very hard to achieve. Yes, I understand that precision manufacturing has improved, but building a good guitar with intonation as a priority has to be done from the design-stage, and not just the manufacturing stage. I've played countless guitars that were JUST set up by proper luthiers/guitar techs that still has problems with intonation. It's like a balancing act where if one or more variable just doesn't want to cooperate with the setup because of either cheap materials or lack or precision, it just wont work. Also regarding CNC machines, yes things can be measured precisely, but intonation is about how all of those things work together, and that's not something precision CNC is responsible for, that's the job of the guitar designer.

I was a John Mayer fan long before I saw him driving Bob Saget’s Prius back from the airport (live on Instagram) but watching that solidified my understanding of his passion and more importantly his integrity & this video has that same passion and I believe - integrity.

I own a Mark Tremonti PRS SE and was contemplating the Silver Sky but just didn’t want to spend that much money on yet another guitar- but can’t wait to get my hands on this one.

Best guitar demo, from the point of view of the playing as well as the narrative and explanation, that I've ever seen. John, you got to the heart of the matter. I've got a core model Silver Sky and can't wait to try the SE version. Thank you!

Thank you PRS for making this happen... I have been waiting and hoping for this !! & My Silver Sky SE arrives in a couple of days!!! :)

My 9 year old son is on the beginnig of learning guitar, I am extremeley proud of him because he is a John Mayer fan and he says when he learns good enough I have to buy him a John Mayer guitar. I am looking forward to that day!

[@rdmkeytohwy]

Yeah……I can hear how that feels. This is the guitar many of us have been waiting for. This is a great thing that John and Paul and his team have done. So many refinements to a classic and iconic guitar shape and sound. From what I am hearing I don’t think there is much of a difference at all with the pickups from the core model to the SE. I think they sound the same. Beautiful tones in all five positions. My biggest fear is that PRS will not be able to keep up with the demand for this guitar. Shops will get them in and you will get one only if you pay for it early or happen to be there when they pull it out of the box. That may be a major problem and shipping them from Indonesia and being held in a port for months on end will cause these to come out in spurts over the next year and a half. Plus they will still be inspected and set up here in Maryland and I know PRS won’t compromise that. And they shouldn’t. I can’t wait to get one in my hands. Thank you John and Paul for your vision and your artistry. The world is a better place with both of you in it!

What I love the most about this video is that he is just literally being himself. This could perfectly be him geeking about a guitar in a livestream on his IG. I just love that

[@jaredwilson3041]

This is the best marketed guitar I’ve ever seen. I need one now.

[@runningwithscissors0911]

I LOVE those pickups and your remake of the Strat! MUST save my $$ for this beauty (and wait for it to be in stock!). Thank you !

[@GUiTERtUbE]

I just recently watched his guitar teacher Tomo teaching about back to the simplest beginning, try your best to focus on each single notes, avoid to flood with even any harmonize without meanings. He clearly shows that exactly, plays mostly on such a clear every single notes, only harmonizing when it needs to, he just makes sure that 10 yrs ago lesson never go anywhere! I can’t impress this man more 😭 Thx god that let me know guitar to understand more of this man that never stop inspiring me for a couple of decades yet 👍🏼

You are the best John! I love you so much and I am a big fan of you since the beginning 2001. I am French and I hope to see you one day in Paris. I love to see you to play on Fender but this new PRS SE release will be a great success! I love so much your sound. I saw you in Japan two nights at Budokan few years ago it was AMAZING!!! You are my Music MASTER! :-)

[@jonathanwelch809]

Idc what people say, John Mayer is an amazing musician and is the Stevie Ray Vaughn of our generation. I'm a heavy metal guitarist and I still love, appreciate and respect every genre of any guitarist. I look at it like a family.

[@christophermccaig6160]

Ok so that was a sick video, well done PRS and John. I’ve been falling more in love with John Mayer and his silver sky’s and I’ve wanted a PRS for ages soooo I’m absolutely buying one as soon as I can afford it. Well done. Now just please offer the SE in that shell pink finish so I can die happy lol

[@Introitale]

Wow.. Those licks from 2:47 are just flawless. John really is a Guitar God.

[@evanjamieson6638]

This guy is just being honest and that's why this ad is so unique. I couldn't agree more with his takes on budget guitars and learning to play. What matters most about cheaper guitars is that they stay in tune, are easy to play, intonate well, and sound good. I had an SE 24 that I recorded with and played live for about 2 years and it was a solid AF instrument and I'm sure they've only improved since then.

[@thomaseder460]

I honestly think this is the best demo for a guitar-model I have ever seen. And heard.

[@michaelradtke3935]

I think I can hear how it feels John!!! Nice demo, and kudos to JM and PRS for putting this in a more affordable package. I can totally relate to crappy guitars starting out.

[@datsoon9236]

I mean... $850 isn't all that affordable for a beginner. I wish PRS would make a guitar around the $200 range, but who knows if they could make it good quality at that point

[@joshuacall4356]

John is simply a master musician and a class act.

[@johnstandup8162]

John Mayer is an amazing guitar player! These new guitars are awesome!👍🤠❤️

[@TheH.W.]

This is a 'very nice' introduction for such a nice guitar, Thank you!

[@cmkelly1965]

I was never a big John Mayer fan, (unfamiliarity) but after some KZbin surfing I am so impressed with his playing. I own 3 PRS guitars, one core and two SEs and the fit and finish on the SEs is spectacular. My new Hollow Body II Piezo is easily as good as any guitar I've owned. I imagine this Silver Sky is equally as good as evidenced by this video. And for the price....

[@marziograva]

Yeah, I could not imagine Slash doing a similarly amazing video/review/promo for his Epi signature series :D So thumbs-up to PRS and John Mayer for making a meaningful promo/review of an affordable and yet great instrument.

[@ChannelJtotheD]

That demo showed the depth of Johnny’s talent on the 🎸 Great 👍🏽

he made up one of the greatest slogans of all time, “hear how that feels?” applies to guitar as a whole

The language of music is something, isn't it? It only makes sense if you know. 😆

[@YoureNowOnTV]

Hard to imagine any other company being represented in such a comprehensively convincing way. "Here's our more affordable model, I still sound like me" Nice work Mr Mayer and Mr Smith 😀👍

[@svfutbol20]

The price point is also perfect, $700-$1k should be the starting point of a studio-level professional instrument. I’m glad he wasn’t shilling a $350 GC special
