I’m liking this strategy more and more

I am definitely hardwired to believe that Fender is the pinnacle of S-types. And I do think I’m struggling to let go of that despite knowing that every Silver Sky I’ve played has felt better to me. I think ultimately I’ll miss having a strat more than I’ll miss playing a strat. Which is stupid

The string spacing at the board edge is my number one peeve with this guitar. It’s too faithful of a vintage reproduction and I can’t help but feel that a more refined guitar (say, Silver Sky) would be better for me. And then I remember how how much I love the look of this one.

Not a bad idea at all. It just requires explaining to somebody why there’s another guitar in the house :)

Ah, yes! Sorry I can see my wording wasn’t particularly clear, but I didn’t intend it to be a straight swap. Thank you for pointing it out to me in case I didn’t know though :)

I have a 594 that I keep changing my mind on whether to keep the stock non locking tuners or to buy the PRS vintage style locking set. Thought I’d see if I can get the mood of the room. For the avoidance of doubt, I don’t have any issues with the non locking set that comes as stock. But I do...
