Nope, not the SS. I did verify after I posted that one is neck and middle, and the other is bridge.I thought it was wired like a traditional Strat: top tone knob was neck pickup, bottom tone knob is middle pickup. There is no tone knob for bridge in this setup. At least that's my understanding of strat wiring.

The pups in a first run SS were the finest single coils I’ve ever played.I have not heard or played one in person ( new model ) but I have heard bigger frets and lower output pickups along with the slightly different neck carves between the maple and rosewood board. I don't think I am happy about the lower output pickups at least from the videos I have heard
I'm gonna sit with my 2018. Would like to try a maple board though. Maybe a Fiore is the thing to do.I have not heard or played one in person ( new model ) but I have heard bigger frets and lower output pickups along with the slightly different neck carves between the maple and rosewood board.

Freakin' love 'em.The pups in a first run SS were the finest single coils I’ve ever played.
I know changes were made in 2020, but I'm not sure it included pickups.I guess the question for me is what year did they change the pickups ??? 2021 or 2020
Definitely with you there, love mine. And it’s red. Original pickups and color, the ‘18 is staying. No idea why they’d change a thing, because it was right as rain straight out of the gate, but JM is always searching!I'm gonna sit with my 2018.
Yeah, JM can and will push envelopes with Paul. I'm good with this one though.Definitely with you there, love mine. And it’s red. Original pickups and color, the ‘18 is staying. No idea why they’d change a thing, because it was right as rain straight out of the gate, but JM is always searching!
Did I miss something on spec revisions to the Silver Sky for 2021 ? I know Paul said nitro finishes on 2021 models, but pickups ? fret wire ?
I found this video from the gearpage, is this all accurate ?
Completely agree with this. Not opposed to the change. John can ask for whatever he wants. It would just be nice if PRS rolled out said changes so someone doesn't unwittingly buy something unexpected.I'm not really in agreement of PRS making a running change to a model with no mention of it. Lets say someone loves their 19 silver sky and now just wants a 2nd one in a different color. It's technically a different guitar now. PRS changed the pickups so maybe they should have suffixed the pickup name with a dash and an "A" or something.
Frankly, I'm surprised that PRS didn't take advantage of the pickup change to use it as a marketing tool. "Now with improved pickups" or something.
Any pros or cons to the satin finish on the newer Moc Sands?
Is the neck satin on the rosewood version of this one too?It feels and looks awesome!
It feels like it could be less durable though I haven’t had any issues yet. I kinda wish the pickguard wasn’t glossy because it really stands out, but I can easily live with that.
