it’s absolutely ridiculous. Especially since most hard cases fit an exact guitar, and most gig bags fit (most) any guitar. If someone really wants a gig bag to carry a guitar to a friends for jam they can buy 1.

[@AFopMostFoul]

It's a John Mayer decision and watching this video and Trogly's reactions and thoughts, kind of reinforces my suspicions that John is a bit of a prat (not knocking his playing). Gig bag being a big issue but his logic is that it's easier to carry around so people can just take it and play it? Which is kind of nonsense really, especially given the cheaper price of a gig bag over a hardshell, if people want the gig bag they will get one and it will be easier on the customer (making them more likely to buy the Sky, could even bundle a gig bag bonus for extra if they want). The guitar itself is pretty excellent though, being a PRS, and that price, I would expect nothing less

I'm not even a fan of John Mayer, I like his style and playing well enough, but he is not among my top ranked players. Now saying that, I am impressed with the Paul Reed Smith (PRS) guitars and the John Mayer signature pieces sound ideal to what I want to achieve with my style of Blues.

Not only does it damage the finish but the button itself will be more firm if the felt is there as it stops the spinning you get when they aren't tightened. So to not use a felt you either risk damaging the finish, or if you don't tighten it enough your finish will be ok but then the button will spin. So yes, they are needed.

I also must say that putting this in a gig bag is a poor move, they could have tried to beat fender in at least one aspect and given this a really special hard shell case. I really hope you get your money's worth on resale with this one. Thanks for all the great content!!!!!

By the way, among Strat aficionados the bridge pickup is “1,” the neck position is “5,” and so on for everything in between them.

I have the Nebula Silver Sky and while I was waiting for it to be delivered, I got a maple neck Silver Sky and had a custom flip-flop paint job applied by Evolution Guitar Finishing in Carlsbad, CA because I like maple boards too. Ordered my Lunar Ice shortly after the PRS event and can't wait to check it out in person! As much as I LOVE these guitars, I really wish they had mother of pearl bird inlays similar to certain Private Stock models. The current inlays are still very Strat-esque, which some might like, but I'd definitely prefer MOP inlays. I love PRS Silver Sky guitars - and my PRS Special 22 - but feels like a missed opportunity. I doubt it would hurt PRS's margins all that much. Less expensive than a hard case and I would personally value more. Add a hard case and PRS's margin decrease would likely mean they'd raise prices even further, which would mean even more people would be upset!

Most people who buy guitars to have them and talk about them like Hard Cases and lacquer on maple fingerboards to keep the grain from getting dirty.

It's insanely heavy, so it's impossible to carry around, even though the guitar itself is lightweight. Only reason I don't sell this silver sky for one with a gigbag, is my sentimental value of the guitar. Also, that really isn't a low quality gigbag, it's the best in its class, and they've obviously only made it better as you can see in the video.

I have a Silver Sky in Dodgem Blue, with a rosewood board, and a SS in Midnight Rose, with a maple board. I much prefer playing the rosewood one, and looking at the maple one. It’s kinda weird, because I’ve taken 2000 grit sandpaper to the back of all of my gloss guitar necks, besides the SS. I usually much prefer a satin finish, on the neck, but the SS doesn’t bother me, like their other models do. I’d NEVER pay a premium for a paint color though. That’s kinda ridiculous to me. I payed cost for both of my SS’s. That was enough for me.

[@arn999]

Looks great 👍. I always thought the original SS colors were pretty bland. The Nebula and this are great. Too bad they’re so limited that they become unreasonably pricy.

[@TJJJJJJJJJJJ]

@7:55 wow that seems really low I’ve had two silver sky’s now and the lowest was 6.4 at the bridge. I’d check all the solder points you have to be washing off some heat somewhere for it to be that low

[@Hallucinogenic_Recipe]

Nice Job 👏 👏 👏 Does it look like the HER Strat

[@MP-wb6gz]

HER isn't flip flop, it's a one colour

[@gooberthoreau]

I feel the Silver Sky is like a master class in consumer manipulation: creating demand, chase, etc. I don't get it, but hey.

[@timothylawrence707]

I'll hang on to my Fender AVRI Strat that cost me about 75% less than this, thank you very much.

I'm beginning to think you started this channel in order to make the rest of us jealous.

[@noname-jr1vo]

$5000 for a gig bag and a paul read stratocaster. It's very pretty. Y'all can keep it though. I'm good.

[@-........]

dodged a bullet there

[@mattewmackes]

I love PRS Custom 22's and SingleCuts... but these Silver Skies are just a well made American Samick Malibu. Any price higher than an American Fender professional is crazy.

[@junes2k]

It sounds amazing. I really like its tone. But no case at that price is a deal breaker.

[@millmoormichael6630]

It sounds like shit, go listen to some proper vintage strats.

[@junes2k]

[@justinguitarcia]

Lacquer looks a lot better on maple but the reality is that satin finish plays astronomically better. So aesthetics aside, it's just a better player choice. The day the lacquer started to wear off my custom shop tele the guitar really started playing well. Just my two cents. Also, as for the gig bag, I think that's another player-centric choice since gig bags make more sense for gigging players. That said, being a limited release, this prob should've had a hard case since I doubt most people who buy these will actually play them out or use them as proper instruments

[@eddiejr540]

I love the satin finish!!!

[@aereptiles2982]

I want one 😍 I'm so glad you get to do a review

[@hawedehre]

It reminds me of a affinity strat with good pickups, with the satin neck and the basic painted birds.

[@maitrybajracharya5550]

Doesn't make sense

[@elisamuelhernandez1689]

It is a beautiful and incredible guitar. These days I decided on the PRS fiore because I think it is much more versatile. What bothers me, not about the guitar, is that you spend $2,500 and PRS gives you a cheap, shoddy case instead of a strong wooden one.

[@14lamnc1]

People who buy it at retail and flip it on reverb for over 10k is probably the smartest thing to do

[@thehardtailmaniac9668]

This is why I always watch till the end

[@Chrispy_tV]

I love strats but I just don’t see the $2200 the silver sky is sold for. So much more guitar in the fender American original for the same money. I dunno 🤷‍♂️ just don’t get it I guess....

[@MP-wb6gz]

You guess right

[@xF1revolution]

These colorshift finishes dont work on bolt ons with plastic pickguards. This finish on something like an ESP Arrow would work much better.

[@jamesshaw476]

I bought a couple of t-shirts of yours Austin. So I hope that helps.

[@greaper012]

So as a guitarist and 35 year custom painter. For the record this dupont chrome illusion. Expensive paint. Look it up. As far as the guitar review I honestly think that for the money I would look at a strat.

Hello! This is completely off topic from the video but I am a moderator of the subreddit r/gibson and was wondering if you wanted to be added as a mod if you use reddit.

I dunno, I've played a few Silver Skys, and I just don't get it? For the price, it just seems astronomically expensive for what you get. And I'm not talking about this specific limited edition, I'm talking about your standard Silver Sky. I don't get it?

[@greensombrero3641]

PRS - pretty really spensive

[@SHERIFF8311]

I bought a chinese Strat copy from the brand SX. It costed me 135 euros. Then I bought a hard case in Thomann for 50 euros. So, for 185 I have a Strat copy that looks and sounds like a Strat but mine has a hard case😄😄😄 Good guitar, man👍

[@eduardo0796]

Trogly had to pay a lot, a lot of money for that thing. Let's make sure he gets his ad revenue from this video.

@@Wargasm644 I know. It's just a joke.

[@bobwallace9814]

Maybe it's just me but if I were buying a Strat like that, I would buy a Fender. If I were buying a PRS, it would be the Custom like Kanami plays at half the price of this one.

[@johnburris8499]

Is there any NAMM Show this year

[@Trog]

online only

[@Wargasm644]

Virtual only, and most vendors aren’t very well represented. Overall a letdown.
