My PRS SE Silver Sky is the last Strat-style guitar I’ll ever need – and you can get one at nearly $200 off for Black Friday
The PRS SE Silver Sky is one of the world’s most popular electric guitars; it was the best-selling guitar on Reverb for two years in a row in 2022 and 2023, and we even scored it a coveted 9/10 in our review following its launch.
And as a proud owner of one myself, I fully understand the hype. Since getting mine a couple of years ago, it’s often the first I grab off the guitar rack, owing to both its effortless playability and top-tier tonal palette.

And at Sweetwater this Black Friday, you can pick up your own SE Silver Sky at $170 off, meaning you pay just $679 as opposed to the usual $849.
The SE Silver Sky is essentially PRS’s budget-friendly take on John Mayer’s wildly popular signature model, which elevates the classic triple-single-coil solidbody guitar design loved by millions for decades in the Stratocaster.
Sure you could go for a Strat, but after the SE Silver Sky literally beat Stratocasters two years in a row in electric guitar best-sellers, perhaps the market is onto something…

The SE Silver Sky is loaded with a trio of 635JM “S” single-coil pickups for a broad palette of vintage-inspired tones, ranging from full, warm sounds with the neck pickup and crisp, twangy cleans in the bridge position, with a middle pickup there to bridge the gap.
Honestly, on numerous occasions I’ve sat down to play for 20 minutes and found myself two hours later still experimenting with the vast range of tonal options at my disposal. And you don’t need an expensive tube amp to get the best out of the SE Silver Sky, either; my practice amp is a Blackstar ID:CORE V4 – meaning the entire rig is sub-$1,000 – and I’m almost addicted to the sound (not to be dramatic).
Elsewhere, you’ve got an 8.5-inch-radius fingerboard – a slight deviation from the core model’s vintage-inspired 7.25-inch radius for a more modern and natural feel across the length of the guitar’s 22-fret board. There’s also a two-point tremolo system for those subtle pitch deviations that’ll bring your best Mayer-style licks and chord progressions to life.
There’s a number of colour options to choose from, too, including the Sweetwater-exclusive Platinum Spark, so you’ll find the perfect SE Silver Sky for your style.
Unfortunately there’s not an unlimited number of SE Silver Skys in stock, and we expect this to be one of Black Friday 2025’s hottest deals, so don’t hesitate. Whether you’re expanding your own collection or shopping for the guitar player in your life ahead of Christmas (trust me when I say you’ll be the hero), take advantage of this deal while it lasts.
Get yours at Sweetwater.
