    The "Official Silver Sky" Thread

    Yep - But I doubt it's the amp. The guitar buzzes on all my amps...I bet it's just the way the SS's are. I'll see what PRS PTC says...Thanks!

    The "Official Silver Sky" Thread

    Positions 2 and 4 are such that they provide hum bucking hence quiet - no noise so that is normal on most S type guitars...My amp is brand new and I had it made special in Nashville. My other single coil - non quiet coil guitars are not noisy. The fact that PRS has like zero shielding is part...

    Silversky noisy - ground problem likely

    Has anyone fixed this issue? Have a similar issue - noisy when using a cal 76 into an OD and then into a super good 3rd power amp. Thanks.

    The "Official Silver Sky" Thread

    Hi all - I have a 2020 SS. But I'm having a lot of noise issues in positions 1, 3, and 5. Bridge, middle and neck pickups. When I run guitar into a Cali 76, into an OD, then into my amp. It's always been like this but now I'm wondering if there is an issue? I've sent a request for the...

    PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Volume Pot doesn´t work anymore

    No problem! It's cool to be able to share this stuff! As for 2018 vs 2020, I'm not sure about this tweaking but it seems small tweaking. Agree with you on what is trying to be improved. For my 2020, I like the overall sound in all pickup combinations. I have many USA fender Strats - and...

    PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Volume Pot doesn´t work anymore

    Thanks Philpp....I did get actually 2 POTS - seems they double shipped...maybe because I live like an hour away from the factory...haha. Anyway, I decided to not replace at this point since everything is working. I did open up the guitar and de-oxed the pot and also re-soldered some badly...

    PRS John Mayer Silver Sky Volume Pot doesn´t work anymore

    Thanks for the update. I too have a new POT coming. Did your POT come with the resistor already attached? They tweak the resistance to be 275k ohm. Hence my bet is each POT have differing resistors to take into account the POT tolerance.

    Silver Sky bridge tone pot acting as volume

    OH - I saw you posted this: it was a bad pickup. Open coil so somewhere in the winds it was broken. I was told that one of two things happens when the coil wire is broken/open. 1. You get what happened to our guitars 2. No sound So it sounded like number 1 was similar to what I described! :-)...

    Silver Sky bridge tone pot acting as volume

    Dang...I just bought mine from the original owner. Don't plan on sending it back. Electronics are fixable. I also like like an hour from PTC/PRS. So I could easily drop it off. Did your issue come and go? Mine comes and goes and can't be duplicated. That's the bad thing. If I could...
