Developed through a partnership between Grammy-winning artist John Mayer and renowned guitar maker Paul Reed Smith, this electric guitar offers a refined blend of vintage aesthetics and modern enhancements. It draws inspiration from iconic single-coil guitars of the early '60s, merged with cutting-edge refinements to deliver a unique playing experience. This instrument combines the nostalgic warmth of classic models with the precision and reliability of contemporary designs.

Key features include an inverted PRS headstock for superior tuning stability, vintage-style closed-back tuners with a locking mechanism, and a steel tremolo bridge featuring Gen III knife-edge screws. These elements, set flush to the body, contribute to improved acoustic loudness and a better signal-to-noise ratio for the single-coil pickups. The 635JM pickups are designed to produce a full, rounded sound with a smooth high end, perfect for versatile playing styles.

Players can choose between rosewood and maple fretboards, each offering distinctive neck shapes. The maple fretboard comes with the original 635JM neck shape, ensuring a reliable and comfortable grip, while the rosewood option offers a subtly rounded neck profile. Both versions feature a 7.25" fretboard radius for that classic feel. The prs maple fingerboard option remains a popular choice for its sleek, smooth playability and classic tone.

Additional premium features include a bone nut, a curved molded metal jack plate for seamless cable management, retooled knobs, and a double-action truss rod that can be adjusted from the front of the headstock. To ensure optimal protection, the guitar is accompanied by a PRS premium Signature gig bag.
