Introducing the Silver Sky we’ve all come to know and love, now revamped for Dead & Company’s John Mayer with a few exciting modifications that will have Deadhead gearheads buzzing with excitement. The Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited edition pays homage to Jerry Garcia’s iconic “Alligator” guitar from the early ‘70s, featuring a foundation of swamp ash, an Alembic Blaster preamp, and a brass nut and string retainer combo at the headstock.

Other impressive features include a surface-mounted hardtail Gen III tremolo, vintage-style locking tuners, and a trio of 635 JM single-coils, all of which provide exceptional dependability and feel-good playability. By bridging the tones and aesthetics of both Mayer’s and Garcia’s favorite six-strings, the Silver Sky “Dead Spec” Limited presents a unique energy deeply rooted in decades of musical and communal legacy.
