A Modded Version of Mayer’s Signature Axe The base of the 'Dead Spec' Silver Sky is a lightweight body made of Swamp Ash (instead of alder) with a Moc Sand Satin Nitro finish, the coating is thin and blends beautifully with the ash grain. The bridge is a modification of the PRS patented Gen III Tremolo and is screwed to the body, effectively making it a string-through hardtail bridge. Leaving the tremolo brass block gives the guitar a musical warmth. At the other end of the strings there is a brass nut and string retainer bar, which also contribute to the guitar's resonance and tone. Perhaps most notably, the Dead Spec Silver Sky's jack plate has been replaced with a brass-plate Alembic Blaster preamp. This preamp can be used directly as a boost, but it also features an internal pot that allows players to add between 3-14dB of gain to the guitar when switched on. This not only gives the Dead Spec Silver Sky an extra punch while keeping clear note separation, but also balances out the capacitance associated with long stage cables. “After playing the Silver Sky designed for the 2023 Dead & Company summer tour, I realized the guitar was special. It quickly became apparent this wasn’t just a tool for one particular job but could be extremely versatile in other players’ hands. I’m excited to hear the music that’s made on these guitars.” – John Mayer
