I like HSS strats and PRS guitars so I can’t wait to try one. I do wish they had done a few things different aesthetically; ditch the birds, different headstock design (6 on side) and better color choices. A few opaque colors would be nice. Oh, and the gig bag at $2500 is lame. Every guitar $1500 and up should come with a HSC. I may pick one up used when they’re around $1700.

I would like to see more colors and I agree about the bag… not great at the price point.

I feel like this is a guitar that’s going to sell well, not because of the name, but because it’s a great guitar. There are a lot of people (like myself) who love the DGT but don’t really listen to David Grissom. It’s just a sick guitar! I think this will attract more than just fanboys like the silver sky does.

*A S H* Ash strats are somehow always really great sounding - this guitar and Henrik Danhage's Charvel sig, it's not a super popular body wood for treble guitars, but man it responds so well to the articulation in the upper register as well as being super harmonically rich in that zone as well. It can be overwhelming to people who aren't used to having a tool that will let them instantly flex dynamics, attack, and the sustain from hell. Why do ash instruments just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustain? No clue, but the sustain on my ash instruments is noticeably more regenerative and stable than others, by and large. That doesn't spoil the others, it's just that when you get a shift from instrument to instrument like that you really have to have another signal chain or be able to re set it up quickly when you switch... Paul is also great at voicing pickups to meet the artist's ear, which helps make an instrument be playable as a unit and satisfying enough so you don't feel like swapping out electronics and you get the original intent and spirit of the configuration and design.

@@gregs8685 suhrs are 3k and you get gigbags. Same with the Japan Tyler guitars

Thank you!

Personally, I haven’t had an issue. Does it look much different than on a strat?

EG, NF3, DC3, Brent Mason, 509, Silver Sky etc. PRS have been doing the strat-alike thing for decades. They are very good at it. I'll never sell my Brent Mason.

Thank you! I don’t know the exact weight but it’s not super light. A little lighter than my Les Paul

Ash is one of those woods that varies a ton in weight

My Fiore is right at 7 lbs

​@ryanpullin Mine is sitting at 8lbs, wish it was 7lbs haha

@@CBGypsy03 yeah I lucked out. Got an awesome scratch and dent deal and it’s super light. I got the black iris color.

Thank you!

let me know what u decide but i am in the same situation as u. which color?

I have a Suhr Custom Classic HSS. Fantastic guitar. Still want to try Fiore though. Tried a Silver Sky and was extremely impressed ... but the Fiore's flatter radius, HSS and bridge are more my cup of tea. The bridge HB in parallel option is very appealing too. My Suhr is set up to split and I never use it split ... just gets too thin ... it's the only thing I would change. I have another guitar that I put Tom Anderson pickups in and set it up to allow parallel switching ... I rarely use that guitar with the pickups set in series, the parallel tone is so good.

Not the nut too thin ? I love 42-43 mm at nut ? Let me know what you think and if the single coils aren’t too thin and clear. I love fat sounding single coils...thanks for your answer and help. Cheers from France

I agree about the color options.

@@finishin.my.coffee8780 indeed the colors options suck

Thanks for the heads up! I’m not super versed in PRS history. Very interesting. I would love a rosewood board

They also made the DC3, which was a direct comparison to a strat (as opposed the the 305 and NF3). So yes, they’ve done it before.

@@warwicker22 I forgotten all about those guitars. The PRS Silver Sky is the first Strat style PRS that has caught on and seems like it will stick around for a while.

@@314jrock I still, to this day, regret selling my DC3.

Well you put Mayer’s name on a guitar it’s probably going to sell!

Pretty sure the EG came before the DC3. I had a 90s one.

@@neighbourhoodmusician EG was after the chicken I thought

@@anthonydavella8350 I'll have to admit, that took me 30 seconds to get 😄

No the EG series from the 90's predates it

Mind blown 😂

And that’s the problem. They get out done price, construction, and tone wise by almost everyone!

I agree with that

I actually think compared to a strat, it’s not as bright. At least to my ears

Much less bright than a strat. I own a Fiore, an American Professional Strat w/ Custom Shop ‘69 pickups, and a Player Plus HHS (noiseless), and the Fiore is much darker and thicker than both strats.

And your point being?
