In 2018 Paul Reed Smith released John Mayer's Signature guitar, the Silver Sky.  It was designed and manufactured in the Core Product category, and it immediately took the music world by storm.  They set out to recreate the feeling of vintage instruments with updated hardware components more suited for today's player. Every inch of this classically inspired recreation is improved in design and function and the hardware has been redesigned with quality, ergonomics and functionality in mind as well. 

John wanted to move this great quality instrument forward and in the hands of more musicians while "not penalizing the guitar player for not having the core US model."

Please see John's impressions of the SE Silver Sky at this link:  https://bit.ly/3r8mRfp

The Silver Sky SE launch is in process in four amazing colors; Dragon Fruit, Ever Green, Moon White, and Stone Blue, a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard with a 25.5" scale length, 22 frets, and 635JM signature carve. A steel two point tremolo system and custom designed pickups ensure great intonation and tone every time.

This is a rare opportunity to own and play an original one owner solid Brazilian Rosewood Martin D-28 produced in the original old Martin Nazareth facility, with it's serial number placing it as completed in mid 1954. The condition is very good with professional repairs that include a bridge reset, crack repairs and a professional neck set.    The cosmetic condition is good and shows lots of real playing wear from it's years of use, by the original owner, in a Bluegrass band. The playability is very good and the sound is amazing with ALL the resonance, clarity, presence, and bottom you would expect from the solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides with the beautiful solid Spruce top. This Vintage Martin includes a newer hard shell case.

Guitar virtuoso Nick Johnston's personal preferences directed the design of the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS, optimizing it for fast, technical playability. Equipped with a rock-solid roasted maple neck with Thin "C" neck profile, a 14-inch-radius ebony fretboard, and extra-jumbo frets, it's immediately apparent that this is an instrument built for precision. And while its playability is sure to appeal to rock and metal players, its HSS pickup configuration with two Nick Johnston single-coil pickups yields a universe of tonal textures to explore. Complete with a vintage-style tremolo for expressive bends and dives, and a Graph Tech XL Black TUSQ nut to make sure the tremolo action is as smooth as can be, you'll be amazed at the Schecter Nick Johnston Traditional HSS guitar's ability to respond to any creative impulse you may have.

While the TransAcoustic's electronics deserve acclaim, the guitar is a high-quality acoustic instrument in its own right. With a single strum you'll notice the detail and warmth of the guitar's A.R.E.-treated solid Engelmann spruce top. Yamaha's A.R.E. technology artificially ages the wood, achieving the clarity of tone found on great vintage instruments. The LS-TA's back and sides are crafted from solid rosewood, which imbues the instrument with powerful low and high frequencies. The S body style is a comfortable design, similar to popular folk and OM acoustics with the narrower waist adding a focused midrange to the guitar's acoustic voice. The guitar's calling card is its onboard reverb and chorus effects. What sets them apart from other instruments with onboard effects is that these don't require any external amplification. Engage the effects via the simple-to-use controls and you'll experience and acoustic experience like playing in a rich, ambient venue. And when it's time for the gig, you can access those same great tones plugged in through the guitar's System70 pickup system. Yamaha branded hard gigbag included.

Made in Japan, this Takamine is of the lawsuit era of the 70s for the different design elements it "borrowed" from Martin. A spruce top paired with flamed maple back and sides provide a clear and booming acoustic. The maple neck and rosewood fingerboard are smooth and easy to play. Minor polish swirls are to be expected, but otherwise is in great playing condition.
