“The first time I played it, I was smiling”: PRS unveils the latest evolution of John Mayer’s signature guitar – the ‘Dead Spec’ Silver Sky, inspired by Jerry Garcia’s Alligator Stratocaster

PRS has unveiled the next evolution of John Mayer’s hugely popular Silver Sky signature guitar – the limited-edition ‘Dead Spec’ Silver Sky.

Said to be sonically inspired by the iconic Alligator Stratocaster once owned by late Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia, the Dead Spec variant was purpose built for Mayer’s most recent Dead & Company tour, and is the first-ever model to deviate from the flagship template that was first introduced in 2018.
