John Mayer’s Strat-inspired PRS Silver Sky is one of the most controversial signature guitars of all time because of… Well, we forget why. Maybe it was the headstock – it’s probably that. But this controversy shows no signs of abating, with Drew Foppe, the guitar tech of Shinedown’s Zach Myers, copping a whole lot of internet heat after posting a pic of his client’s relic’d Silver Sky.
Bear in mind Foppe does not even own this guitar. It belongs to his Myers. And yet Foppe says he receives abuse on a daily basis because of it, with people even DM’ing him their disapproval. Taking to Instagram, Foppe called out this madness – and it is madness – and offered an explainer for the hard of understanding as to the history behind the guitar, and why it is relic'd like this.
