I didn’t mention this in the video but it’s worth noting - I love John Mayer. A lot. But I’ve never felt a strong desire to learn his songs. I know a handful and can fake a few more. But for me, listening to his music is a special thing. May sound weird or corny to some but it’s just what it is and I love that about his music. That’s why there’s really no Mayer licks in this thing 😂 We knew other videos would focus on that too so that’s also why we made sure to showcase the genre we make content for (praise and worship). Thanks for watching!

Actually, I like that you didn’t do John Mayer’s lick over and over here… don’t get me wrong, I love John Mayer and if I would be a better player, I would play his songs too. But we know plenty of youtubers will, so it’s better to see this new instrument in your element, which is worship music.

I’m excited to see this new version get into the worship world at a more accessible price. Great review Brian and Bradford! Also, pair the Silver Sky with the Browne Protein - Green Side, and you have tone for days!

A word about the neck shape, some time after the original Silver Sky release in 2018, PRS altered the shape of the rosewood models only. "The maple fretboard option comes with the original 635JM neck shape, while the rosewood fretboard option has been subtly modified in the shoulders to feel more 'rounded' in your hand." So, the neck shape of the SE might still be closer to the slimmer core maple version.

But it doesn't sound at all like my Fender AmPro Strat which sounds clearer and has more highs.The Siilver Sky is an impressive build, I like the feel of the neck and fretboard. But, I'm not sure it's fair to compare the 2, the AmPro is more than twice the price of the Silver Sky SE.
