34:46 "I'll try to finger it a little bit" *Both Look at camera* Never change, Pete and Joss. Never change.

It's a Strat. I'm not angry about it. I love strats and I love Paul Reed Smith. Match made in heaven!

I think we all need a new silver sky video 3 years later. Now that everyone has fallen in love with it and it sells out everywhere.

Saw John at 02 arena for 2nd time last week..... he did a mad bend, stopped half way, and said “how’s that for 7 n 1/4 radius” 🤣🤣🤣

I mean..... it’s a strat.

My two cents on the reason for the controversy. For a lot of people PRS and Paul represent a beloved guitar brand which actually went up against the big two and created something, new even if it was inspired by a Gibson junior and a Strat body. With PRS announcements it has always been what is the next big thing rather than what vintage instrument they are redoing now. Paul says it himself in the Seattle clinic he does every year. The silver sky essentially breaks that promise. And then there are those who dislike PRS. But Paul has always managed to hit the sweet spot between building a good product and a great business. He understands the potential of a signature model like this. Dont blame the. guy

Pete's tasteful, beautiful playing does it every time.. never mind the guitar.. they will ring and sound awesome. Thank you guys at Andertons.

The part starting at 36:24 is just amazing... i love the chord progressions in there.. beautifully done!!

Well said and well played, fellas!

I can barely sit through a 15 minute video - about anything - and I sat through 50 minutes on this one and loved every second of it. Well done! Oh, and I want that PRS!

Hands down one of the best Guitar reviews / information pieces I have ever watched. Cool guys doing things the right way! Great chops on the Guitar to all 3 of them

I love how danish pete just sits there and makes himself laugh 😂

I think for the most part, the coolest thing is that no matter who seems to play this guitar into this amp, the tone IS John Mayer. He said to Paul "Build me an amp that sounds like all of my favorite amps in one amp" and he came up with the JMOD100. The John said to Paul "Build me a guitar that's my favorite vintage instruments combined into one guitar" and Paul gives him the Silver Sky. And this video demonstrated that the Silver Sky into the JMOD100 IS John Mayer's tone. What an incredible feat and PRS nailed it.

i don't get why schecter, ibanez, chapman, and countless other brands can make an SSS guitar but then prs can't..?

This video has some of the best playing and tones that I have heard on the 'Tube in a long long time. Superb stuff ... all three of you. It takes an inspiring instrument to bring it home like that 😁

The freaking guitar sounds great, and your attitude is exactly right. Right on boys. Thanks for the beautiful playing.

tbh the only thing I want is for Pete to just play JM riffs...all day long

I often times wonder who's job it is to keep the chalkboard updated before every video

always love watching these guys. they enjoy what they do and it's great to watch them review a guitar and discuss

Your videos have been extra good lately. Fun and informative and filled with great guitar work. Well done!

I don’t care for Mayer but it seems like him and PRS have made a great guitar, well done to them.

There's a Brazilian saying that sums up that whole situation " Fale bem ou falem mal, mas falem de mim" It's something like : Doens't matter if you say bad or good things about me as long as you are talking about me !

It's a strat.

The casual observer of Mayer wouldn’t know that he picked up the guitar because of hearing Texas flood at the age of 13. He grew up idolizing his blues heroes, namely Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy. He formed a band with his high school friends named Villanova Junction after the late Jimi Hendrix. He started off covering Jimi and Stevie and set out to be a blues guitarist like his heroes. I mean for god sakes his first tattoo was Stevie’s initials on his upper arm. Later on after dropping out of berklee and trying to make it on his own, he started experimenting with pop and found out that it was much easier to garner attention playing more “listenable” music for everyone. More people would without a doubt prefer listening to a pop song in this day and age then a typical blues guitar oriented song. So with that knowledge under his belt he made Room for Squares and the rest is history. Using his popularity and the platform that he created for himself after room for squares and heavier things, he began to drift back towards the music that had originally and always had inspired him as a mere teen with continuum, straight up blues. Nowadays he still hasn’t gone full on blues, but he has done numerous guitar driven performances on stage at various shows over the years, namely covers of SRV, Hendrix and Clapton. He’s done things on the where the light is live album that would blow your mind. He’s done a live blues album titled TRY that would once again show you what I’m talking about. The man has inducted SRV and Albert King into the rock and roll hall of fame because of how associated he is with them and has shared the stage with the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck among many others. There is a video interview done with Clapton that has him saying that John Mayer is a master guitarist. Not only that, Clapton has invited Mayer to his crossroads festival ever since Mayer became a popular artist. The fact that Mayer is so closely associated with blues and has never really done it full time and the fact that most people wouldn’t even know about any of what I just said above and still think he’s a great guitarist shows how talented he is. A guy like Joe Bonamassa who has based his entire career and livelihood off the Blues is not nearly as revered in the guitar community as Mayer is. John Mayer is one of the best guitarists of all time and easily the best we have today. Johns guitar tech who was also SRVs former guitar tech has stated that John is the closest thing we have to him.

This video just shows how good a design the original fender stratocaster is.

Pete is right on when he says the bit about nobody giving Suhr flack. Everyone seems to embrace the Suhr guitars, and this is an amazing guitar. Hoping I'll get to play one some day.

Great video guys, just thoroughly enjoyable to watch you all play around with a new guitar. Inspiring playing too!

Absolutely amazing playing guys. That jam at the end was dope !

Danish Pete!

Great video- honest and objective. Also nice use of the Bruno Mars chord progression around the 37 minute mark Pete. Ariel taught you well ; )

You know what I love about Pete? When he's really feeling it, he looks like he's having all the fun one can have doing anything. Especially when he just knows something is going to work; he smiles and has this look of "oh you're going to like this." Such a joy to listen to.

Now, this is the way to do it. Love how you guys don't sugar coat anything. Despite your nice relationship with PRS personally, I think if you didn't like the guitar you'd say so. That's all we want, straight forward, objective, honest commentary.

I absolutely love reading through forums and comment sections! They serve as a nice little reminder that there are people out there way sadder than me...

This is seriously the best sounding video I've ever heard from Andertons.

Great review and even better playing. I have the Silver Sky and Fender Strats. Love them all. Keep the videos coming, guys!

Love it , I got the tungsten color, slightly used for 1750.00 had to have it after plugging in and playing it. It’s unique, the 2nd position from bridge has that quack with a slight twist. First USA model I’ve had. Great video guys. I’m 71 years old . Still a guitar nut. Played for about 56 yrs. I like it . I’m here in the south right above Atlanta bout 50 miles. Although Clapton is my favorite. I got to give props to this guitar. watching this over today.

I really like the sounds and honestly after a while looking at the headstock, I’d be ok with that too. Another great guitar from PRS

It's a lovely, well made guitar. That's where the story begins & ends for me.

Awesome video and awesome playing. Great job!

I watch a lot of KZfaq and you guys are awesome! Interesting, informative and entertaining. Great review on this guitar and some very cool licks as well.

The most important vid from Andertons. Good objective first sight opinions and BRILLIANT playing Pete. Ooooh them tones man! And I agree, this is the first PRS I would dream of buying.

The criticism has been, lets be honest, a bit over the top. The amount of Strat copies is probably higher than the number of genuine Strats. My biggest (only) problem is the whole PR spin behind the marketing

As a current owner and lover of a PRS Custom 22 (stop tail bridge) - This would be a great complimentary guitar to fill the 'strat' void - i am totally on board with this guitar, its beautiful...

Capt Lee the reason for the reverse head stock is a John Mayer Mod for more access to the 1st fret as per the Official PRS launch video

As in the tune of, "I'm Gonna Find Another You" ... "I hope she looks like you - and she's nicer too..."

Pete is an incredible guitar player.

He recently did some demos of the guitar and has made statements that explain some of the details gone over in this, but even having seen him talk about it I still am glad I came here and watched this because this was a great demo of the guitar.

I have a Singlecut PRS now and I need a Silver Sky now too. Even though I have some great Strats This sounds great. Thanks for the demo!

3:00 current situation in a nutshell. Well played, cameraman. well played

When the doorbell went I thought it was gonna be good old John himself. My heart...

really enjoyable to see you guys have so much fun

Great video once more, could watch these all day long.

You can say what ever you want, that thing sounds gorgeous !!!

Me: my opinion is that... The Rock: *snatches the mic from me* IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOUR OPINION IS!

That jam session at the end was fun. Love your videos

I have a Strat. Love my Strat. Have a PRS and love that too. I wish I had the money to get my hands on this too. Just appreciate a well built guitar and Paul builds quality guitars.

Amazing vid. Can’t wait to try one. Think the reverse headstock is because John’s hands are big and he didn’t wanna feel cramped. Also string tension will be different for bending maybe?

Listen. At some point, we need to stop thinking so much and remember the bottom line: It’s a guitar, ya plicky-pluck on it and it makes neato sounds. There are many types and kinds and options and colours and some look similar and some look wild. Forget the politics and buy whatever you enjoy playing and don’t worry so much about what it is. Just remember WHY it is. Make the music with whatever speaks to you. I love strats. I didn’t even know I had such a deep love for them until just a few years ago and I’ve been playing for a quarter century. I also really like John Mayer’s style of playing. I’ve never really played many PRS guitars but I know they are quite good at making quality, detailed guitars. So I see this guitar as a marriage of several great things. Why complain? If ya don’t dig it, get a genuine strat and enjoy it. Some people would appreciate this guitar for what it is too. I just don’t understand why we bitch so much Lol. More options, more guitars, different takes on classic models, it’s all awesome!! We are in the golden age of guitar options!!

This is my favorite guitar as of today. Awesome demo guys

Just played one of these by coincidence today, and it’s a really interesting guitar. Plays super well.

I went off Strats some years ago, couldn't get on with them, went to Telecasters. But that PRS has made me want that. No way I could afford it. But what John Mayer has done with PRS to create the type of Strat he really loves, along with some natty improvements to the design, has made me want to give the Strat another go. But PRS's take on the Strat.

I very much prefer this sort of review/discussion

I'm honestly jealous. Man I wish I were there and able to have a go on that guitar! You've GOT to love your jobs.

I love it! Very nice colour in the light too. Great vid gents.

I didn’t know there was a controversy. I guess it’s because I spend my time playing guitar...

Oh now I really want that magnificent Mike Landau fiesta red 63 strat.

Also Lee, I’m sure you know this already, but this stuff really works. I was desperate to pop in last week when I was travelling from Yorkshire to Gatwick but couldn’t get the time, just because I enjoy your videos so much.

I could listen to you guys play all day!

holy crap joss is a very good blues player!

Maybe it's the Pete's hands, but I want one!

Thumbs up guys!! And Lee has gotten so much better over the years! Awesome :)

I got one as soon as I could, I love it, it has taken the #1 slot. I can use it for any gig, blues, rock, country, covers it all easily.

What an incredible player that bloke is!

I’ve no idea why people are so “outraged” by the PRS Silver Sky and everyone avoiding the term “Strat” or Fender. PRS has a history in taking the Les Paul to a new more modern approach and they have been outrageously successful. Why not a Strat style guitar? Suhr doesn’t get the blowback PRS is getting. Fact is, Leo nailed it his first shot out of the box and everything since then have been variations on a theme. We have an entire industry using the term “S-type” with no blowback but come the day PRS does one, well then, it's the wrong day, the planets are not aligned, the entrails aren't favorable, we don't do STRATS!! I call BS. Good on them, go forth and serve the industry, Paul, and I think it’s great.

I love the classic mixed with prs unique custom changes like the headstock; radius; jack etc

Nothing but respect for Lee and the fellas at Andertons huge fan!!

Maybe it doesn't need to be said, but maybe it does: JM loves his 63 & 64 Fenders, but why take them on tour where they could be damaged or stolen? "Make me a touring guitar, Paul!" Done. If he asked Fender to do it, they'd be 4 grand minimum.

Absolutely great video and I think you nailed it on the head that the "controversy" surrounding the guitar is pretty dumb. PRS didn't make a strat because they wanted to make a strat; they made a strat because John Mayer came to them and asked them to make a strat. All of the "improvements" or "changes" were because that's what John Mayer wanted. Paul might have made some suggestions here or there, but ultimately John said yeah or neah. But my God what a gorgeous sounding guitar. Though, I don't think I've ever heard Pete play a guitar and NOT think that...

what a lovely little jam session at the end!

Best sliver sky video so far. Can't wait for my Frost to arrive from you great guys. 😎

The intro part of the video is gold xdddd

Captain Meets John Mayer? Make it happen

man I enjoyed that video a lot. thanks for that!

Got to see, hear, and play one at a demo in Baltimore, MD at Ryan Fowlers Guitar Experience. Very cool! Great little shop. I appreciate your loyalty to PRS, but it feels just like a Strat.

Pete's playing is 🔥🔥🔥

38:00 You know Danish Pete likes a guitar when he fists the air for 10 seconds straight.

Enjoyed the review! Well done.

Great video as always. I'd like to hear a followup exploring the SS's more crunchy and high gain capabilities and comparisons to a Fender strat.

I am the only one with good headphones here? That prs sound super responsive and balanced, nothing like a regular strat. And you can see that when this guy go back to the strat, check how he played.. That says it all. I really love to have one.

TWO years to get a maple fretboard. Just got my Dodgem Blue yesterday. Best guitar I've ever played - and I've probably played over 100.

GREAT video guys! Great paying and tones as well. What effect (reverb - delay?) are you using through the loop of the J-Mod 100? Thanks. :)

The first Andertons video I ever saw. I still have to watch it every so often. Epic. Meet Pete and the Cap'n a short while later at Summer Namm and talked to them about this video. 😀

Alright, so it's a PRS Strat, a slight refinement pf the most imitated guitar in the world (along wtth the Les Paul) and I feel fine. Chill.

John Mayer has recently explained this *controversial* guitar in an interview. He admits its basically a strat with small modifications to suit his needs. The article is on ultimate guitar

I love Pete's playing. Just that kind of fast jazzy fun playing. He clearly loves playing and he's clearly having fun. I love that.

I'm totally enjoying my silver sky no knock against the fender strat I love that too they are both great guitars

Well....they allready had an LP copy....so.... But seriously, looks great!

I ordered one in Tungsten😍

Awesome playing. Loved it guys.

Great playing, as always. the PRS sounds awesome, sign me up for one in black, thanks,
