My main guitar is a Silver Sky, and i absolutely love it. I have been through quite alot of strats throughout my guitar journey, and once got to try an original 1962 strat. Since then, everytime i try a strat i subconciously compare it to that glorious '62 strat, and nothing ever came close, untill i tried the silver sky. Mine, is the best guitar i've played, that wasn't dumb-money

Fender has really watered down the strat by having so many different models that play so differently and all over the place. I really like the neck on the Silver Sky as it's nice and chunky like my Peavey Predator.

I'm in the same boat, but on a budget. Tried several US strats before buying, after 30 years of not playing (had a US Strat back then). Ended up with a Silver Sky SE, because it was more of a strat than any of the US Players i tried, atleast soundwise. And the QC/finish is leagues better on an Indonesian PRS than a US Player ..

I am a HUGE Mayer fan as well, and have always loved the feel and sound from a good Strat. I got my Silver Sky about 6 months ago after playing a friend's and falling in love with it. Obviously it is very "Straty", it feels like the best Strat-style guitar I've ever played. But it is more nuanced than that. The Silver Sky is not just a straight-up Strat copy, it has it's own feel and sound to it that you aren't going to find in just any Strat. It really is it's own thing, and it does that "thing" very well!

Mike, I can truthfully attest that when the SS first came out I was apprehensive on trying it out and giving it a chance. When I finally did in 2019 however, I was hooked. It has since become truly an obsession. Fast forward to 2023 and I have 3 (Hello, I have a problem). The Silver Sky, for me, became the benchmark to which all other single coil guitars are judged against. And to be objective, there are several boutique makers or manufacturers aside from PRS who knock it out of the park in their own way. For me though, this is the 3 single coil guitar I’ve always wanted. THE sound profile is there (I’ve found differences between Rosewood and Maple, each offer different experiences in sound and feel. Gun to my head I’m taking Maple. I think much attention goes to Rosewood which I also love, but the Maple has just got something else going on). THE feel is there. THE vibe is there. THAT feeling of owning something special, mystic, and unique yet incredibly familiar is there! I’ve watched that same live stream from Mayer featured in your video probably 30+ times no lie. I’ve watched countless reviews, interviews of PRS or anything to glean more info on this instrument. Why? I feel that this instrument has shaken the market place and has altered the status quo. That makes me want to learn more about it. Whether one feels like this instrument is unique take on an iconic design or an unimaginative strat copy with the wrong headstock is subjective to each individual player and their respective opinion. Not here to change your mind, that’s your journey. But what isn’t subjective is the fact the PRS and JM brought to market a model that competes with instruments 1 -2.5x+ the price. And this is good for us as consumers. While not cheap by any stretch, it is however more attainable financially and arguably by availability than the Mario Martin, Suhr, Fender Custom Shop, Anderson, Exotic, etc. ‘s of the world. It has been a level set to the industry. And players get that much closer to having incredible gear more accessible to them. Anyway, TL;DR: I have 3, I’m obsessed, and so stoked you have one! Enjoy the journey bud!

I honestly really like the looks and feel of it. I have a problem with the pickups. When comparing side by side, to my ears, even cheaper oem strat pickups have more mojo than the SS pups. The Silver Sky just sounds incredibly sterile, too pristine, almost digital. Not sure what it is.

The silver sky being a new take on an older classic concept allows players who found the faults in Leo’s original design to get certain things fixed while other classic features remained! Its brilliance as in instrument is in what features were kept versus which ones were updated lol! If your a super fan of a classic strat but also need a few specific modern touches it’s tough to beat

The popularity of the silver sky and the silver sky SE is fascinating for me. For decades I have heard guitar players praise the early Stratocaster except almost everyone complained about it's 7.25 neck radius. Now the silver sky comes out and everyone loves the guitar and no one complains about the 7.25 neck radius or the 8.50 inch neck radius on the silver sky SE. So did Paul Reed Smith cure the 7.25 radius string choking problem with the silver sky? I'd like to hear from people who really enjoy this guitar on their opinion of the 7.25 inch neck radius and how the Silver Sky feels different than the Stratocaster.

With the quality levels of every aspect of guitars being made today, the differences between one brand and another, has become so subtle, that it is literally down to personal taste, playing style and size of hands (when it comes to necks at least on that last point). I watch Mike's videos and tons of other reviewers channels, as I love hearing and seeing guitars old and new. I spent most of my playing career with one guitar for 30 years, plus a few backups. I've now got a few strats and mid range strat style guitars (plus too many humbucker beasts to mention) but I still want to try out a Silver Sky because whenever I have heard it being played it does seem to have a subtle but distinctive voice. However, all of my strats have their own feel and sound so I wonder if I'm just suffering from GAS and John Mayer admiration in wanting one of them? I've got so close to buying one and then stopped myself because... well, how many strats does a guy at the end of his career seriously need? So, I've decided that "if" I decide I want another Strat, I will buy a Silver Sky, because I trust PRS to deliver a quality instrument and I get the spidey-sense tingle that I would love playing it. In my small city I don't know anyone who owns one that I could borrow for a few nights and trying one out in a guitar store sucks as I want to be able to relax and play through my own rig to make a judgement call. So... it'll probably be mail order or impulse buy at some point. I know I don't "need" another strat, but if I was starting out today would I choose the PRS "Strat" over the Fender? Ya know, I think I just might 😎 PS: Sorry for long ramble - just watching and listening to Mike in this video really got me thinking about it again and browsing guitar stores online. Peace out and enjoy whatever guitar you love and cherish 👍

One of the biggest differences I’ve noticed between the best guitars I own and the others is that the best ones STAY the best ones. That sounds weird but my Fender American professional Strat was amazing for the first year that I had it. And then the neck started settling and fret ends started to stick out and this and that and w lot of work has gone into it over the years to the point where it doesn’t have the same magic it did back in 2017. I’ve had my Silver Sky for nearly four years and have played the snot out of it and it is still every bit as magical of a guitar as it was on day one. It’s as stable as steel and incredible to play. Nothing against Fender, but my Silver Sky is worth every penny

You could argue and say, well only Fenders are Strats since they have a copyright on the name "stratocaster" and you would be right about that, but the silversky is specwise still a strattype guitar. Much love to John and PRS for designing the silversky, it's a great guitar!

Maybe not pink but my american performer strat is in the penny colour, which is pretty close to pink and I love it. That pink silver sky is a beauty though…

Yeah, dood I’m not a big “Strat” fan With that said - I have (2) maple Silver Sky’s I opted for the non-SE version on both - I have absolutely fallen in love with these both I have been playing a 50’s style Les Paul Standard (2 of those as well) for years and have been happy…the SS is so different but in the best possible way *Polar Blue *Midnight Rose Oddly enough - they both sound different, in my humble opinion Good video -Scott

i recently started playing a novo solus f1 which is a gibson-scale esquire kind of thing and all the little differences really add up to it sounding pretty different from a 'normal' telecaster. i don't play stratocasters but it's easy to imagine changing the spec details around can have a big sound change despite it looking like a stratocaster.

I'm very curious to try one, but they're surprisingly hard to find in the Netherlands... sadly

6:39 The correct answer to this analogy is while they are essentially the same, there is a clearly superior option (Popeye's, I also work at Chick-Fil-A)

Man, i had floor seats to his acoustic show a few weeks ago.. watching him shred the acoustic was just bananas. I've played the Silver sky myself and i really like the neck, pick ups are great too.. i just cant get around how rattly the knobs are. it feels cheap compared to the tag, its an odd juxtaposition

Bought an Olympic white one in 2019, one of my favorites. Recently picked up the SE version in dragon fruit can't stop playing it.

He had to say it’s not a Strat to build on the hype. It’s essentially another super Strat and no matter how hard people try and convince themselves it’s different, it’s still a three single coil, double cut “Strat Style” guitar. It’s only ever going to be a variation full stop.

Sounds like a single coil guitar with 25.5 scale length, through an Amplifier with (probably) Jensen speaker type...

My first guitar was not a pink guitar, it was an Aged Burgundy Mist Casino but you know, everybody calls it pink anyway.

The tone was awesome! I don't care for pink but it works on the Silver Sky. I play in a group at church with a guy who plays that guitar (yellow) and it sounds great in the mix. I really enjoy your videos.
