naaa you're right... re-readin the screenshot. I must have read that and amalgamated it with something else I was told. his reply lines up with yours...
makes sense.
interesting...
I was told the original pots in the Silver Sky were 300k not 500k and brought down just to under 300k with a resistor by Sean Littleton from PRS customer service. I've seen 2.7M and 3.3M resistors in two different silver Skys which would confirm this.
did this change? I mean it...
ahaha sorry mate... thanks for being the first thing on google silver sky guts!
I kinda wish I got a black one...
im actually considering refinishing it? if there is interesting grain maybe sunburst? otherwise, fiesta red is always a favorite,.. especially with a tinted neck.
na it's normal.
the only thing different is they tie off the wires to the side with a plastic zip tie anchor because the routing is different than a strat.
also the volume potentiometer is 300k instead of 250k but they attach a resistor to bring it down just under 300k. I've seen them with 2.7M...

here is a link! they have other great hardware for Strats and PRS. I saw they had this so I contacted them and asked them if they could make me one to fit the Silver Sky.
It's basically MIM size (2 1/16 spacing) but they had to alter the size of the bridge holes to fit the PRS GEN III...
No way man... by all means you should be doing your own set ups...
Just watch some reputable videos on Strat type guitar setups.
You’ll save hundreds of dollars.
I live in New York and once paid a guy from rivington guitars $260+ to do setup on my mustang and fix a switch. Now I’m all for...
if you went up a gauge in strings screwing in the bridge while yes is lowering the action... (im guessing you aren't using the trem) isn't the proper fix for that problem it would be to loosen the truss rod a bit. PRS' usually ship with a small amount of relief 0.004-0.006" adding 11's may have...
mine had three .0070" shims in it when I bought it new. straight from the factory.
as is w/o the shim the neck angle was angling down into the guitar. so we now know why the three shims were needed.
I was trying to float the bridge as per the prs video recommended. needing to add two more...
do you mean there was lacquer still left on the fret ends? or the fret ends weren't properly filed and polished? that would be horrible. honestly one of the best things I've found about my PRS is the neck. it's the most perfect neck I've ever played. no rocking at all with a fret rocker. fret...

he's not referring to the tone being a problem. he's suggesting a perception remedy. he is saying; if you set up your amp tone with he tone rolled off a bit. this way when you roll off the volume and start loosing the treble, you can roll it back in with the tone knob.
also, yes...
what do ya'll think of the SS knobs? I'm actually not a big fan. if they had a bit more grip and were made of maybe heavier less "cheap" plastic.
I had to do some tracks that required me to do some knob work on the performance so I ended up putting on some really old Strat knobs (didn't look...
