I personally really like the headstock that everyone moans about. Also it sounds really clear regardless the settings. Can’t wait to lay my hands on one. One thing that the guys of Andertons TV have noticed is that the pole pieces of the pickups follow the curvature of the fretboard and the neck unlike usual Stratocasters.
@Guitargate6 жыл бұрын
That's interesting!
@Markle2k6 жыл бұрын
The staggered pole pieces are necessary for 7.25 radius fretboards or the middle pole pieces would be much too far from the strings for even volume across the strings. This is the case with every original Stratocaster from the 1950s and 1960s and 1970s. They all had 'em. One of the original "Super Strat" mods was to pull the frets and re-radius it flatter. The 9.5 radius, which doesn't need the stagger, started in the 80s sometime around the CBS sale. A lot of the non-Custom Shop 50s and 60s reissues and re-imaginings don't use the 7.25 radius so they aren't technically period correct.

Okay I had this playing in my Headphones Up Until the 6-minute Mark or just before the 6-minute mark and I can come to one conclusion and that is it's Telecaster. It is a 2020 Telecaster. I hear that it's sound so different from the other videos of people playing that guitar that I must have to assume it's your playing style and maybe even your amp settings. This is pure Nashville plain and simple. Nothing wrong with that cuz I play my cast of Nashville album any time I'm not happy I still like Tim McGraw on a regular basis I'm simply saying that I do not hear anything close to the sounds that on other websites. To that I will and you're a very good you're picking coordination with your left hand right hand is on point.

@MrAnders19766 жыл бұрын
the compressed neck sound he talks about is exactly how I feel about a lot of newer strats,, and what makes me gravitate towards telecasters. Maybe it was the old three similar polarity pickups which did not have the hum cancelling 2 and 4 positions.. the old high mass steel tremolo block, or the fatter rounder neck of an early 60s strat all together creating a guitar with less compression.. Paul reed smith mentioned in an interview something about two of the factors regarding the pickups, (bobbin. wire thickness, alloy, wire material etc) that people get wrong in many modern pickups.. I ANd that stevie ray vaughn style playing on the neck pickup has been beaten to death and seriously never really been a fan of that style.. THis guys more country style playing is much nicer to my ears..

Fender seemed good enough for JM during all the years of learning, touring and in all his hits (including whatever “compression” you are hearing). I think the Silver Sky a good guitar but not worth all the hype. PRS Headstock & inlays are atrocious on a Strat body IMO. When the SS interest and attention on JM dies down, he’ll hop back to Fender and release an even more expensive Sig. Fender Strat. The ol’ “back to my roots” ploy. 🙃 Update: Man I am eating my words... bought one and it is my new favorite guitar 😳

@davecarsley87733 жыл бұрын
It wouldn't be hard at all. In fact, it would be easier. But buying a Silver Sky as a first guitar is silly. 99% of people don't stick with it, so statistically, it'll probably be a waste of money. But also, you won't have the skill to make it sound good for years. The same way that John Mayer could pick up a $100 Squire and make it sound amazing, a beginner would pick up a $2500 Silver Sky and make it sound like a $100 Squire.

I also bought the Silver Sky SE Moon White and there are alot little things that are not good on it, but I did work it out after major tweekiing. I like the Truss rod cover off, looks like a core model from far away. Two things I think need to be changed from the Factory in the future are the really cheap saddel's and the poor tuning keys. I bought this guitar because I was so tempted to buy a Core Silver Sky for $2600.00 plus tax that I was sure i would also never play. I have said this before in other comment post that this guitar feels like a toy guitar. If you want a really great inexpensive guitar I really think the Fender MIM Vintage Series from around 2012 to 2015 finished in Nitro are some of the best guitar that Fender has made in the past 12 years and also Fender comes with a whole lot more, like the History of your favorite players and MOJO. Fender's are not toys either, they are the real thing, that is why they are the most copied Guitar in history.

Leo Fender created a masterpiece. The headstock is definitely an eyesore. It's design does not flow with curving lines of a Strat-style body. It's like putting arms on the Venus de Milo.

It''s a nice looking and sounding Strat. This guy is admittedly a PRS Shill so give proper weight there. And clearly, based on his comments on spots 2 and 4 and "dead neck", he hasn't played a really nice Strat. I wouldn't mind playing one at some point. FWIW nobody crapped all over Chet Atkins when he went Gibson/Gretsch or EVH when he bounced MusicMan to Peavey. Buy it or don't buy it. For me, I would rather have a played in Strat with larger radius that doesn't choke up high at that price point. But if ya'll want to spend that kinda dough .. rock it!

Strats, Tele's Les Paul's all have the sweet neck pickup placed in the middle of the 12th fret to the bridge.

Sounds and looks like a strat. And you quote PRS himself from his TED talk. Imagine if you said the guitar was 'not bad',I don't think the PRS factory would let you use a guitar for your videos anymore. And you got help from PRS, so credibility is zero for me. And also, you are dead wrong about a Fender strat is only floor or ceiling. It's just nonsense. John still plays his Fenders most of the time during his live performances. But hey, you never owned a strat (although you first said that you did). John went to Fender first with his ideas for a new strat model. They weren't interested. PRS was his second choice. And guess what: they made a strat. Totally different from a strat.... Then why did they spec it from 63-64 strats? I'm tired of hearing this nonsense that it's totally different from a strat. Guess what: buy a 2 different sets of pickups, and your guitar sounds different. I agree that the guitar sounds really good. But for that price, I'll save 400 euro's more and get myself a custom shop Fender, WITH case.

I've actually never seen PRS's TED talk. But now I'm off to see what you're talking about. And BTW - I've returned many guitars and amps to PRS and others because I didn't like them. And like I said in the video, it's not all fenders. It's just most of the ones I've played! It's also most of the knock-off / clones as well.

Since when was a custom shop Strat less than $2000? I myself saved almost $2000 by purchasing the Silver Sky instead of the custom shop Strat

Man.. sad to say, this guitar specifically sounded sort of dull. Like it’s sort of just humming the notes- it’s not really vibing. Weird, cause it’s the first video of these guitars I’ve felt that way. If there’s an example of lacking “mojo”, I’d say this may be it.

lol did you skip the entire video or something? The dude melted faces with ease and unless your ears are broken, I think it sounded pretty damn good. Hard to dispute those tones by calling his thoughts biased. Just let the sounds do the work.

awesome sound and player indeed, but the guitar was lent, as he says, if you listened to the entire video, by prs. now wasn't biased ??

I see what you're saying and I agree for the most part. He's clearly partial to PRS. But what are you expecting a review of this guitar to say? It's prs, so surely, no one is going to say it is a shitty instrument in a review because it's highly unlikely that prs would make a bad guitar. And I'm only saying this because I don't own a prs, I never have. In fact, my main and favorite guitar is a fender strat. But i'm trying to objectively look at this new instrument, strat copy or not, and decide whether or not it sounds good and plays well. And based on this video, it appears to.

Michel - If it sucked I'd say so! I do work with PRS for guitargate.com, and I do think they build awesome instruments, but I've played plenty that I don't like. This isn't one of them!
