This left-handed Silver Sky Summit Purple is a real looker and a surprisingly capable instrument. It nails that clean, bell-like tone John Mayer is known for, making it perfect for funk, blues, and lighter rock styles. The build quality is solid for the price point, and the neck profile is seriously comfortable.
