The Guitar That Broke The Internet...
Музыка
If you've been on the internet this past week, you've almost certainly already seen this guitar! But in case you haven't, it's probably best we start at the beginning!
A few weeks ago, a good friend and customer of Peach Guitars reached out to John directly with a few images of his recently modded PRS John Mayer Silver Sky. Now this guitar had been completely stripped of its original finish and re-sprayed to look exactly like Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Number One" Stratocaster! The attention to detail is truly incredible; it perfectly captures the magic and vibe of Stevie's original. Images of this guitar soon started to circulate online, and it didn't take long for major news outlets to learn of the guitar's existence. One thing is for sure though, it's certainly divided people's opinions!
In today's video, we sit down with the very guitar that unintentionally broke the internet! Does it live up to the hype, let's find out!

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

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

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

And yet a MIJ fender strat from the 80’s will probably blow it out of the water… 😂
Just incredible playing man!!
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
The matching headstock looks really nice. Not a relic fan but Aging is done so well 👌🏽👌🏽.
The guitar is fun, but damn, your playing is off-the-charts good.
Yeah, PRS should make these without the "SRV" initials on the pickguard.

Why
I absolutely love it. Sounds amazing. Its nice to see a relic'd PRS tbh. Looks good with a bit ware and tare!!
Top job on this Paul well done fella.
Here for the fire playing and tone🔥
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!

There’s a picture of him at the start
Awesome guitar John! Super tone and playing as well 👌🏼
Sounds great, nice chops 👍😊
I think the headstock really makes it.
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!
I love it. Your playing's amazing and thanks for mentioning which amp it's played through
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
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!
When it sounds that good ... doesn't matter what it looks like or what brand name it's got
Surprised at how much I like this. Looks awesome.
I thought someone put a PRS neck on a fender body, it looks that convincing wow
If John doesn’t want it, I’ll be happy to buy it! 🙋🏻♂️
Phenomenal! Top notch craftsmanship.
Looks really great!
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.

soulless is the most boomer way to describe a guitar.
Sounds amazing! Crazy that it’s a PRS, but shows what they’re capable of!
That neck is insane! I want it done lol
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.
Sounds great !
Sounds incredible! Your playing really makes it shine and sing! Stevie could have used that!
This looks f'ing sick! Love it
Sounds & looks incredible. 💪🏼
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'.
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!
Finally a good looking Silver Sky

I’ll drink to that!
Should have replaced bird inlays for peacocks....
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
Insane Tone! Beautiful Guitar!
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
I think it sounds great. And it is his guitar so what ever makes him happy.
PRS fans, cheers! I am a Fender fan.!
I would buy that ! sounds amazing and looks good too
Should replace the inlays with Stevie's Peacocks

That would be awesome
Awesome!
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.
I mean, why not? Quite a clever idea, and who doesn’t love something that turns everything on its head? Tone is tight too.
i’d have to drop every penny i have if this ever went for sale
Makes me want to see SIlver Sky version of all our iconic favorites!
I hate it,…honey, get my wallet.
I can hear the years you put into studying SRV 😮 Amazing looking guitar, amazing sounding guitar and man also amazing fingers! Best KZread video in a while! ❤️
Funny, because in the end, the guitar that they all try to emulate is the Fender Strat 😏
Love it!!!
Very cool 😮
I love it!
What!!!!! Awesome ❤
I actually think it would look pretty in sunburst.
Now a Gilmour Black Strat version.
Love to see Mayer with a “The Black One” version.
The Guitar That Wants To Break My Bank Account.
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.
Gotta admit , I’d take that without blinking an eye.
What fuzz pedal is being used ?

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!
Just needs a set of Texas specials and it’ll be perfect 😂
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.
Sounds like the real thing. Is that tuned in Eb?

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)
I love it, I'm sure it feels and plays beautifully
To each his own, Not by bag by a long shot.. but it's a nice hat tip to SRV!
Note to self: when relicing a guitar always leave the plastics looking brand new.
I’m surprised the internet still functions judging by the amount of times it has been broken.
Aaah yea the sound it is ... 😮
Is it all stock except the finish?

thats a sick looking piece i dont care what anyone says
The best of both worlds, SRV and a Strat.
Next: Slash Playing his Fender Les Paul with headstock with logo Fender. Controversial but still nice guitar. And aleays amazing videos from Peach Guitars
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!
Will you be showcasing the Rory Gallagher PRS SilverSky next week 😂
Funny , Fender is in stall 1 doing a Re-wipe !
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.
Shouldn’t we have a normal silver sky vs a relic to see if there is a toneall difference between the two?
Broke the internet, eh? Did this video get sent to my phone via Pony Express?

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

Don’t get me wrong it looks great…but it looks like they forgot to age the knobs and pickup covers
Wow a PRS that looks like a fender...amazing
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..
I cannot believe that those are the stock pickups

That sounds glorious, but yeah the aesthetic is definitely an aquired taste, especially with the birds and the headstock 😂

I think that it's mostly that guitar players have gotten used to the Fender headstock more than it being actually attractive. Most of my non-playing friends think Ferder's headstock is to worst looking of all the guitars I own.
At least it’s a one off
