It’s official! https://prsguitars.com/blog/post/2024_silver_sky_new_colors_faded_black_tee_satin_venetian_blue

That seems to be the rumor right now - two new finishes, the matte black one in the leaked photo and one rumored to be called “Venetian Blue” I’m really curious to see if they tweaked the pickups or neck shape again, or anything like that.

I think a lot of us have been anticipating this finish for a little while The OP of this thread shared some details about the sourcing

So I don't see it explicitly against the Forum rules - are we allowed to discuss leaked news here? Because there's some interesting pictures floating around on Reddit today... Will share more if that's allowed

Took advantage of the holiday accessories sale to upgrade the tuners on my Silver Sky - who doesn’t love the open back Phase 3’s? As already noted they’re a perfect drop in - but wanted to share the back of the headstock for reference, so folks can see the added bonus that the left over...

Still searching for that perfect neck pickup, but love this guitar. Anyone try the Fralin Alnico Rod P90’s (I have a set on order for this one :cool:)?

I recently ran out of my years-old bottle of Dunlop 65 (Lemon oil) and bought a bottle of PRS's Tung oil as well. I immediately recognized the scent of the Tung oil as the smell I've associated with my PRS cases for years. Its a great smell. Also it made the Rosewood veneer on the head stock pop...

I totally agree with you guys who are saying it doesn’t affect anything or amount to any real issue with the guitar. I’ve put the strap button on, I’m keeping the guitar, and eventually I’ll get over it, stop caring, and achieve blissful acceptance. As you all have. big thanks to @bodia for the...

I’m really of two minds about it. Mostly my negatively is stemming from the sub-par job they did in this particular instance rather than the plug itself. I am 100% sure I could have done a better job of it myself - which is disappointing for a $4500 guitar from a company with a strong (and...

Yeah that’s fair - I’ll probably reach out to the dealer I purchased it from to ask them to send a picture to PRS and confirm straight from the horses mouth that this is 1. Standard manufacturing now, and 2. How the guitar left the factory. Also a first for me, as I’ve owned prior core models...

Also here is the whole guitar for perspective - I am pretty happy with it! Personally I think the top is about as good as it gets for a non 10

I agree the plug on mine is a bit sloppy - might still ask my dealer to inquire with PRS about it to confirm. I would have thought PRS would do a cleaner job coming from the factory - maybe even use scrap mahogany to make the plugs (I’m sure they have a lot of it?) to get the color to match. ‍...

Thank you!

Just curious what other folks take on this is... I purchased this guitar (Core Special Semi Hollow) new from a local dealer (at MSRP, via trade credit) last month - guitar hang tag was signed in August. I went to install my strap locks today and found that the bottom strap button hole...

For what its worth, here's how things have changed since I posted this: I ended up playing the SE HB2 and, while it's not nice and I didn't think sounded quite as good as the Core model, it's obviously a lot cheaper and better value proposition. So I decided to go with the SE. Aside from the...
