Re: PRS Silver Sky
I don't mind it, it's nicer to look at than a Suhr (hate the droopy dick headstock), has a better cutaway and upper fret access than a Fender Strat, better trem than a Strat, bring on the PRS version of a Tele I say.
Tin arse!!

I would imagine if you wanted a strat you would just go get a strat.

The worst kept secret from PRS is finally officially out.
Who wants one? Form an orderly queue now....
When I seen your link I thought finally the long awaited Michael Bolton signature model.
So yeah, a let down.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: PRS Silver Sky
Agree, but musical influences I'm sure have a profound effect on guitar choice. If all you listen to is Malmsteen, SRV & Hendrix, it's gonna be hard to see outside of your Fender-tinted glasses.Conway wrote:But you can do so much better than a Fender...kdawg2a wrote:I would imagine if you wanted a strat you would just go get a strat.
As far as this new release goes, I pretty much go along with what everybody else has said. Kinda boring and run of the mill, not like what we have come accustomed to from PRS.

Re: PRS Silver Sky
listening to Marching out yesterday, pulled the inner sleeve and Malmsteen thanks Schecter
hmmmm
it wasn't always fender, old baggy clicky tone from that sultans of swing song played a schecter
that dude that wore the hat, he played a Tokai
CBS owned fender so all the picks of cbs bands were holding fenbers
fenbers are cool

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

Re: PRS Silver Sky
I look at that guitar and to me it seems to solve a lot of problems that no one has with a regular strat. If you buy all the bits, you can make a really high end strat for $1500.

Re: PRS Silver Sky
I'm not going down this road again. The outcome is just too hit-and-miss. If you shop-around second-hand you could probably source all the bits cheap but it'd take forever and a day. I guess it could be a rolling project where you get something that's got good bones and upgrade as you go. That said, when you say high-end I guess you'd need a nice, light and resonant body and a well finished neck. Hard to find the right spec. second hand and spendy new.kdawg2a wrote:I look at that guitar and to me it seems to solve a lot of problems that no one has with a regular strat.

How would it break-down do you think? Just roughly.
$100 - Tuners
$250 - Neck
$350 - Body
$200 - Trem
$300 - Pickups
$100 - Plastics
$100 - Case
$80 - Pots / wire etc.
$20 - Neck plate / screws
$100 - Paint

Switches are a bit busy for me. Maybe it was for the Grateful Dead gig.Conway wrote:Super Eagle.
I'd like a C22 / 24 style PRS with Stratty pickup arrangement.

Re: PRS Silver Sky
I like that thing, all those switches. when I`m famous I`m gonna be up in that wood library and get Pauly to make me a 10 string MockingBird with 25.5 and the silver strat headstock, made from the wood of the phoenix tree, must be 39 inches long, comes with a set of micro moonboots hanging from the lower bout and a mirror back plate to reflect light in a cool way.
