    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    I did end up taking a refund. However, the unfortunate thing is that I purchased some gift cards to buy the guitar (I had some promotional offer for those) so the discounts stacked. But of course this now means I'm stuck with gift cards and need to find something else to spend the money on. PRS...

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    So the dealer responded and offered an exchange - there are 3 units available. Unfortunately it seems like the issues with the inlays are widespread and all of them have it. The holes at the fret ends are also all present. The finish on all also looks like there are scratches on each. I'm not...

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Agree, but I don't think it would have helped for me to respond angrily there. Waiting to see what the substantive response from them is. Essentially explained that I was busy at work, and that Wednesday was the first day I had breathing room to even open it up. Thankfully, I filmed myself...

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Update, the dealer has responded with a query as to why I only raised the issues on Thursday (when I emailed them) as the guitar was delivered monday... Answered their question and am waiting on a substantive response. Still waiting on PRS CS for a response.

    NGD times two. Core & SE DGT's

    Yikes, it looks like there is a spate of QC issues related to PRS SEs now. I have lots of issues with my maple SS.

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Thank you for pointing that out. I genuinely did not even notice (haven't played the guitar properly). Look at how bad that is. it's like the entire guitar was built offset. You can push the low e on the saddle slightly, but nowhere near enough to compensate for how off this is.

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Yup. I'm not insinuating that it was used, I think it could well be QC issues. Just got informed by someone else that there are other reported issues elsewhere. Let's see where this goes. Just genuinely disappointed as I was very impressed with the QC of the rosewood ones. Maybe I should have...

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    I've written to PRS by way of email and will do the same with the dealer. This is 100% a real PRS SE, dealer is legit and is the PRS dealer in several southeast asian countries IIRC. I bought this sight-unseen, placed an order on their website, but they are my local dealer.

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Located in Singapore. Truth be told I haven't 'played' it. Tuned it to pitch and strummed a couple of chords. As mentioned, not typical for dealers to offer returns so I didn't want to give any leeway or reason not for it to be done (i.e "but you've already played the guitar, we can't take it...

    SE Silver Sky Maple Quality Control Issues

    Just took delivery of a Silver Sky SE Maple in Overland Grey and I must say I am very disappointed in the QC. At this price point, minor imperfections are to be expected. I’m not expecting core-level QC and perfection. But what I’m seeing definitely, by far, falls short of what’s expected of...

    PRS SE Zach Myers Pickup String Spacing

    Hi! Just asking a question that I haven't found a definitive answer on. I see information saying that the stock pickups on a Zach Myers SE are 52mm. Does that mean my aftermarket pickups should be 53mm since that's closer to it as opposed to 50mm? Contemplating dropping a set of...

    What finish is this? Shawn Tubbs' MC58

    Here's another screen grab i pulled from a video. Looks to be yellow tiger too. Orange is a tad too dark, the first photo is a tad brighter than it normally looks.

    What finish is this? Shawn Tubbs' MC58

    Shawn has been one of my favourite players for awhile now. Always been curious as to what finish his custom PRS MC 58 was! It is stunning. I've done some research online and can't decide if this is yellow or orange tiger.

    The "Official Silver Sky" Thread

    Out of curiosity, has anyone measured their Silver Sky neck yet? I don't recall coming across measurements online so far.
