The pink guitar is John Mayer's signature guitar. It is the PRS ( Paul Reed Smith) Silver Sky, JM signature model guitar in the shade Roxy Pink. The green guitar is John's PRS Silver Sky SE model in the shade Evergreen. My son bought a version of the Silver Sky guitar when they first came on the market, he loves the guitar and says it is the easiest playing guitar he ever owned. Kudos to John for designing a phenomenal guitar.
