PRS SE Silver Sky

[frankencat]

I think it's a good move for PRS. What's your take?

It sure seems like an SE version of John Mayer's PRS Silver Sky will be unveiled in January

In a joint Instagram post highlighted by the letters 'SE,' Mayer and PRS asked viewers to save the date of January 11

Late to the party again

If PRS does an SE Silver Sky I doubt they would use the current Silver Sky pickups. They don't sell the pickups separetly, so I don't think they would just give them away in an SE. IMO, the special pickups are the heart of the Silver Sky so, without them, you'll just have a Silver Sky imitation. Maybe that's close enough though...especially if they do some cool colors?! But, then again, does the world need another Strat copy? At least the core Silver Sky has a sound & feel not easily found in Stratland.

I think this is great news. The SE line really needs some single coil options. I don't see why they wouldn't/couldn't do an "SE" version of the US SS pickups.

I really wish they'd make an SE DGT...

If the neck is the same as the US model, then I am in. IMO the selling feature of the silver sky is the neck.

I hope it doesn't have the same 7.25" radius, but it probably will.

Yup, the original target sound/feel for the Silver Sky was Mayer's 63/64 Strat...so why make it different? And there are plenty of other "strat" options out there.

Because I like everything else about it except that.

I'm with you. I'd be happy with a 10" radius myself. They wouldn't even have to change their tooling.

 

[Hefalump]

Ya man, modern Radius, and I am in.

 

[OotMagroot]

Since these are technically "Student Edition" guitars, do you think they will come with the 7.25 radius? I'd think they would change that to their standard radius they use on the SEs. I REALLY hope they have a maple fretboard option too.

I think they'll follow the pattern of the other SE guitars, which are just lower quality versions of the s2/core line guitars.. So that said, I think it'll have the same general specs of the core SS

They made a SE Paul's Guitar with full-sized humbuckers

Doesn't the core Paul's guitar have HBs?

They're little

That and the headstock. Man, I’m a huge PRS fan and I’m sure the SS is a great guitar but that upside down headstock looks so wrong to me.

It does, but I’d say that it’s a very high likelihood that it’ll have the same headstock.

Ha ya well maybe not though, as that feature is sold as , well,... a "feature!" that needs to be paid for! One cannot simply churn out necks with vintage radi on the cheap it's very labor intensive you see.......to get that kind of "playability".
