Honestly, even the PRS he previously played wasn't one of PRS' finest...
The conversation probably went like this:
PRS: Hey John, I'm mostly known for building an alternative to Gibson guitars, you know that, right?
JM: Yeah of course, Paul, I still remember the lawsuit episode.
PRS: Come on, buddy, that was a lot blow!
JM: Hahaha...
PRS: Seriously though, I have an idea, John.
JM: I'm all ears, buddy.
PRS: I want to build you a real signature guitar.
JM: Really? I'm so flattered.
PRS: I'd like to conquer some of the Fender market. I want Fender players to look at my guitars and think that they could switch to PRS and still be cool.
JM: Genius. But how will you pull that off?
PRS: Well, I'd like to build a guitar that looks just like a Strat but with a PRS headstock.
JM: Wow that's an amazing idea! It's going to look weird but cool!
PRS: I'm so excited! We can offset the tuning machines to make it look even cooler! So when people see you with the guitar, they'll think, "Wow that's a beautiful Strat" until they see the headstock and go, "What the heck?"
JM: Man that is so cool. People are going to think it's ugly but they're still going to buy it because there's my signature on it.
PRS: We'll call it the Silver Sky.
JM: I'm in love with your idea. Let's do it.
