I don’t understand why it should be any different ? English or not, 3 guys are here to demonstrate and enjoy 3 nice guitars ! Why would it be a heated discussion 🤷🏻‍♂️ ? I don’t get it

lmaooooo

hahaha.. exactly my thoughts too.

Spot on Patrick, they are like the BBC 1 mid 70s panel discussion on Middle East and Geo politics...they are serious about their 6 strings as it gets...

I wish this was representative of my country as a whole! But as an Englishman, thank you.

Is that’s dodgem blue ss? I have the same one! cheers!

@ aite

@ I have always been a Strat guy but no denying that the silver sky was superior to the other two.

Fender fan boys... Cut from the same cloth as gibson fan boys.

With all the budget PRS they could have created something unique instead of giving Fender more credit

It really is nice. I just got one. I crave playing it. Its inspiring.

Same with the PRS Mccarty's and 594's. The correct the string angle coming out of the nut into the tuners.

ahahha

By all means.

I WOULD, IF THEY THREW IN $1,400.00 TO BOOT, THEN I COULD BUY A PROSTRAT, SELL THE OTHER TWO FOR STRINGS AND SUCH! LMAO! PS - NEITHER WOULD I NUTINBUTDEEBLUES!

SilverSky is a really amazing guitar no doubt but you can't beat a CustomShop Strat that plays like this one. John Mayer knows it, he just decided he could make more money with a new company. Who knows what happened with him and Fender but he still holds his Black Strat as his #1 guitar. You find a Strat that you connect with and has that special tone and you can not replace it PERIOD!!!! I have a sonic blue 60's CustomShop that I have tried to top and I can't. After 7 years its still my #1!If you have been fortunate enough to get a CustomShop Strat then you know. Not hating or biased just being honest here.

Sounds like JM wants to cheat on single coil with humbucker.

I think just A strat. I came upon this strat in the used section of a guitar center, never played anything but strats. This one 60th anniversary 60's , with vintage noiseless pups. I literally had to stop playing it because when I was, I could visibly see people like trying to look at the guitar then at me! Had a couple people recognize that it was a great guitar. Acoustically the loudest one I've ever had. The silver sky is intriguing though.

@@ccbbh4477223 JM didn't get a single coin out Silver Skies

I think you are hearing with your eyes. Not all Fenders play great, you have to find the right one. The PRS is consistently good. The idea was out of 100 Fenders, a handful are masterpieces. Every PRS feels the same across the board.

Just get a classic vibes 60’s by squier same neck and almost same weight, the neck pickup sounds stunning for the price. Just change the tuners. You can find them for $2-300 used.

I was liking it until I saw the scarf-joint on the neck. Every Chinese manufacturer does that to save money. At that price, that's just absurd.

3 years later and this comment still rings true in my ear

He said they were Fat 60’s

Of course

And speaker . Biggest difference other than cab materials .

@@joshua0226 Yes, speaker is important, but I've tried them with the same speaker, and it is completely different. They are, as I said darker voiced.

colaboytje amazing how interesting. Another variable to tone . Just like how the old fender amps were pine and now plywood.

@@joshua0226 Not only the cabinet, but the amp itself is darker voiced. So, I connected the Woody to a seperate cabinet and compared to a regular Blues Junior connected to that same other cabinet, and the amp itself is darker voiced.

It's the FSR 'Woody' Blues Junior Fender made a little while back - belongs to Nev Marten who features in the demo. Cheers

WolveSpirit ! I hope you're not refering to Neville. One of the best contributors to Guitarist, Ever.

It is processed sounding, including compression.

And how did you see or know the vol pot was down ? The SS has a powerful output (I've played it). Sounds better than any Fender I've owned or played in 20 years.

harlon57 Trying to sell more PRS

Meh. Sounds great to me. It definitely sounded the brightest and clearest. The Knaggs and the strat both kinda sounded muddier, sitting in a more low middy space. I am sure an eq would shift things, but the PRS sounded the best in my ears. Especially in a mix seeing how clear it sounded in this particular demo.

Harlon, the notes don't choke on the Silver Sky. The frets are seated and finished so well that choking isn't an issue.

Marmaduke Winterbotham That’s what I’ve been wondering too. What’s the significance of that time?

Maybe it's John Mayer's favorite time of day. He spent 2 years working with rolex to come up with the perfect time of day.

I was expecting it to vary like this:- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ntV0eNWg0ZmlpYU.html

Tone Time!!

Colin got the answer correct.

yes its bubbling up. the guy on the right has issues with the guy on the left. the middle man is trying to keep the peace.

I prefer the one man format, when the one man is Richard 😄

I think you cant compare different tones matching with price tags. Tone differents cant be measured in price my friend. If it has an different tone, there has to be a different price. If you are happy with the tone of the lower priced guitar than thats good news. If you like the sound of the other guitar you have to pay for the that type of sound. You dont pay because of differences. But thats my opinion.

N Hoekstra It wasn’t my decision but that of Guitarist Magazine to compare the Silver Sky against the Custom Shop Strat. And they had the price wrong by £ 500! Next time watch the video first and then read the comments my friend.

Probably 3k+

Ariff Johanis Ahmad PRS spent two years on development of this guitar. Primarily because John had to figure out which specs he was happy with while playing it and being on tour all last year. People are making it sound worse than it is. Also he wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. Just something that the world could easily get while getting the vintage sought after tones without the heftier price tags.

Yeah absolutely. Who could even think that there would be other things than body shape when designing guitar and infact, it's one of the least time intensive parts of the design. Also said strange folk could think that when designing a signature guitar for a busy artist, simply doing the endless prototypes might take time until the player is happy with the product. Such strange mindset those people have. (this is obviously sarcasm you dumbfuck)

They also did not "they paid designers to design the upside down head stock? hmmm" John Mayer released a video statement of him saying that was his idea. Please stop spouting bull shit - the guitar community has a bad enough rep as is already.

I'm confused if that's the case, the only thing i sorta could understand was that the outcry was due to an "original" guitar brand doing a strat knockoff when they are known for their own designs.

Douglas Lindström all prs guitars are based off other brands

You could. You just don't want to

@@donefinished living in third world country, it is luxury for us. Plus the taxes are insane here 😭😭

@@pramesh.gurung I feel it man. Grew up in cape Town myself. Guitars are overpriced af abroad. I sincerely hope you're able to have your dream guitar soon.

@@donefinished south africa isn’t developing country right??? ... i live in country which is poorest of all, i mean the bottom end of poor worldwide 😅😅😅

@@pramesh.gurung I live in the states now. You've got a computer and an internet connection... 😅 that's the way life goes man. Who knows why.

Pato Gallini no, it's a bolt-on

He's referring to the headstock scarf joint, which would make it glued on.

Yes

Joseph Seraile Buy it, sand it & paint it. EVH would.

phOkused.....what did you see? I've had a look and can't see anything wrong. Just askin'

You forgot the grey plastic tuners from a Woolworths guitar circa 76.

Seraphim Marcopoulos I'm not sure, but most shops I've heard from are reporting a *lot* of preorders.

Who actually plays clean? Clean always sounds cheap in crappy in demos.

@@davidbakerscuba Clean sounds good if you are a good player. Clean sounds cheap and crappy if you are cheap and crappy.

@@thatguy9528 nope, I’m good and so are plenty of reviewers here. Clean sounds like crap. If you want clean, here is some advice. Get a guitar with EMG’s and a decent solid state amp. You’ll have all the clean you need. Oh, and name one famous guitar player who regularly plays on a clean amp.
