Thanks a lot for the shout out Chris! 🙏 Really nice to see the guitar getting some more use. Sounds great 🤘
Your video on this guitar is absolutely awesome mate! Thanks again for the trade 🩵🎸
Had an SE version for about a year and then upgraded to Core USA made one. Difference in feel is huge. Neck is fatter (especially after 2022) and comfier. Feel wise the guitar just feels much tighter, resonates way more and in my case it was considerably lighter as well. Sound wise there is a noticeable difference in the clarity and the dynamic range of the pickups and in my book the jump from SE to Core is absolutely worth it. Compared the SS to some Custom Shop Strats and to be honest I think the SS sounds better and (completely personal thing as I have quite big hands) feels much much better, as I just couldn’t find a comfy neck from Fender. You’re gonna love it! Take care! 🙌🏻
I'm in that boat lol. I have an SE and love it but I really want the core
Agree with you, I had the same experience.
@@anejo333 Absolutely worth it imo! Just make sure to get well well informed on the subtle differences through the model years. Some have slightly different PU's and neck carves and also they started doing all nitro finishes after late 2019 (if I'm not mistaken). Another thing worth mentioning is that the finishes on the newer ones are as thin and soft as it gets and you pretty much get dings from thin air. That's something I dig a lot, but might not be to everyone's taste! Getting a perfect setup also is a bit trickier on these ones! Hope you get one soon and enjoy it. Mine's a late 2022 and I think it nails the sweet spot for neck carve, puck ups and finish. :))
Super soulful playing Chris and I love the Derek Trucks licks as well
Nice! Looks and sounds great! Nitro and light relic is a plus for sure.
Les Paul double cutaway with P-90s would be a lovely addition to the arsenal.
Great shout mate ❤⚱️
I have two core silver skys. I prefer the older ones. They changed the pickups in either 2020 or 2021, as well as the neck shape. I have an 18 Onyx and an 18 Tungsten, my Onyx is in E and Tungsten is in Eb. Everyone seems to like the SE neck profile better than the core, but I prefer the older core pickups. When PRS changed the pickups they made them lower output. Also the finish went from Poly to Nitro. I haven't gone back to a strat since picking up my silver skys.
Another brilliant video with excellent playing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to say that 🎸❤️
Honestly, I'd do it myself. Props to you for doing it
That’s a great colour! I wish they’d add that Daphne blue to the official range. No doubt they’d call it “Oceania Angel tears” or something but either way it looks fantastic.
Ha ha, thanks so much for the comment 🩵
The Silver Sky is fantastic! I was in the market for a custom shop Fender and ended up with a Silver Sky. I only wish they gave the option to have it as a hardtail.
You guys should totally get an SG!
Would love to know where you got those knobs for the guitar! Looks soo good
Thanks a lot for the comment! If you type in ‘Vibrolux Knobs’ that’s the ticket 🎛️❤️
THat does sound great. NIce vid
Beautiful guitar
What a fantastic video have a wonderful day chris also happy mother's day ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊
The PRS Silver Sky sounds how a Strat would sound, if a Strat didn't sound like a Strat.
Man I’d love to learn how to do that percussive thing. Sounds so great!
Thanks a lot for the comment. Check out Tomo Fujita slap 👋 ❤️
Thank you!
I recommend you try the core SS. I’ve had strats for well over 30 years of playing guitar, and didn’t want or need another when I already owned 4, that I considered really good.
Made the mistake of playing one, it’s one of the best I’ve played and now my number 1. 😂
I have the core model in fiesta red nitro relic, it's awesome
looks wonderful
Thanks a lot mate 🩵🎸
Would love to see you guys show off an Oswald Strat, 1 man luthier in the Netherlands
I’ve been chasing after the Silver Sky SE since they were released..Just haven’t managed to have the spare funds to get one..
Played both the core and Se models while I was in Oslo last year..Loved them both!
The blue looks amazing and with the relic nitro finish..Wowza!!
My wish is for the Dragonfruit..Really hoping I can pick one up before our move from Australia to Norway! 🤓🤘🏻
Thank you so much for the nice comment and best of luck on your silver sky acquisition one day 🩵🎸
check around the holidays... they always drop $2-250
@@SnakePool Yeah they’ve had it down to $979 I think at one point..That was Aussie dollars..But I still couldn’t spare the money when it was on sale..The cheapest it’s at right now is $1179…
Nice, great neck on maple
It’s a beautiful sounding guitar in the right hands.
What’s the problem?
I think you might enjoy something semi-hollow for your blues stylings
I tried the Core model, but I didn't like the neck, it's more for a player with bigger hands. I didn't like the frets either. I have Jumbo frets on my 2 strats!
I bought a silver sky se and it was honestly kind of a$$… traded it back in for a prs custom 24-07. If you like chunky necks and squire like tones then yeah, it might be for you
The neck look so thick for my hands😮
Ibanez g10 or an sa series !! Reason I say the g10 it was my first guitar that I learned everything on!! I think a lot of the sound has to do with the type of amp you are playing to in my opinion !!
Y por que no una prs de verdad? En USA es facil .
Welcome to the family! You should try playing a PRS SE Custom 24. I've played on the Silver Sky and much more preferred the Custom 24. They have push/pull pots for coil splitting as well.
Thanks a lot for the recommendation mate, really appreciate that 🎸
Yeah and the custom 24 is an original design while the Silver Sky is just a knockoff strat
John and PRS had a completely blank slate to create a new model…..and they built a Strat Ultra. I’m not mad…just a little disappointed. I love Strats too, they’re my favorite guitar.
Looks like it's got nice big jumbo frets on it, hence the playability. Get too used to that and you'll hate all your vintage frets, trust me.
I think the SE line is major bang for your buck. I dont have a Silver Sky, but if the build quality is anything like the Custom 24, then i bet it feels fantastic to play.
I do love that finish!! I wish PRS would add that color to their lineup. The knob choice is great too!
That’s a great insight, thanks a lot for the comment and I totally agree about the knobs / colour too 🩵
Awesome licks 🔥🎸. I have a channel called Huntley Gray where I post guitar videos. I wish I had an ounce of the talent you have. Thankyou for sharing your amazing licks and content.
Thanks so much, really appreciate that! 🎸🚀 best of luck on your channel, look forward to checking it out
@@PedalPawn Thankyou so much
That headstock looks terrible on a strat, they got to fix that.
FIESTA RED, SONIC BLUE, SEAFOAM GREEN
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
I love my Siver Sky. I love it but the pickups are really microphonic
This is so badass!!! My silver sky SE is my favorite electric guitar I’ve played by a country mile. I’ve own many expensive strats and none of them gave me what I get out of the silver sky.
Thank you so much for the nice comment. & That’s great to hear! 🎸
Congratulations on the new silver sky. I have the core and love it. It’s become my number one regularly (I play it more than my ‘68 strat - which I still love as it does a special chaos thing). PRS makes great guitars as we know. They are refined, consistently on point, and punch way above their weight. Things i had to do to get my SS to what I like: a/ raise the action, b/ I bent my tremolo bar out to match more of the angle on my strats.
As much as I love the John Mayer PRS, I’m hopefully anticipating a Philip Sayce PRS guitar.
In my opinion there is a feel and attention to detail difference between the core and se versions.
Thank you so much for the fantastic insight, really helpful! And definitely would love to see a Philip Sayce model ❤
The American ultra is the Tesla… this is like some weird Chinese electric car that someone gets as a company car and never shuts up about
These are great guitars. If John Mayer and Philip Sayce play them, they are good enough for me i guess
That was my thinking too 😂❤️
Nope. It does not sound like a strat. It doesnt suck, but its not a strat. Its not there. Its good. It doesnt have the special sauce only a strat has. But again. It doesnt suck.
🎩
😁
👕👍Great!
👖
Thanks a lot mate! 🎸❤️
The Silver Sky is just a knockoff strat. If John Mayer really wanted a true PRS strat, he should’ve asked Paul to remake the SE EG
Sorry. I'll never get why companies keep re-inventing the FENDER Stratocaster. JUST NO POINT.
I forgave Taylor Swift for using John to advance her career.
She was young and needed the money.
For some reason relic Silver sky don't look as cool as a strat.. prefer nos on silver sky...
The headstock of this copy of a Fender looks really bad.
Dark side indeed
😂👏
It's nice looking but sounds thin.
if unly the headstock was not riddles with that ugly grey plastic...
Yikes
Good yikes or bad yikes? 🫣😂
@@PedalPawn Playing good yikes, but I just dont like modern brands gear. But you are amazinf tho
I will never buy one.
