Pickups are set to factory spec, but maybe. I’ll try dropping them and see what happens. A different tuber helps sometimes but not always. No string buzz, when I play it does seem off a bit.

Using NYXL 10-46 strings, guitar came setup for 10’a from PRS.

Hi Everyone, While intonation the low e-string on my silver sky (USA), it's acting like the saddle is moving or something. The tuner will read in tune, then flat, then sharp, then maybe flat again - it's just all over the place. Sometimes it will show the note holding one pitch, others it just...

What pickups did you end up going with in the SE?

Hey Everyone, Any thoughts on upgrading the pickups in a SE Mira? Has anyone tried this with maybe 57/08's, or something different like Lollar imperials? The SE Mira's stock pickups aren't bad, but I have a McCarty with 57/08's and just love it a lot more.

Hello Everyone, I just got a 594 SE singlecut and while the tone knobs turn freely and easily, the volume knobs turn with much more resistance. Should I just spray them with Deoxit? Sweetwater said give it time to loosen up. Thanks!

Stripped out the top of my silver sky se truss rod cover screw. Anyone know what size this is?

Hey Everyone, We played a gig at a lake a few months back and I just found a lot of mold, mostly underneath the volume knob of my Silver Sky. I'm sure the high humidity and not cleaning afterwards caused it. I tossed the volume knob and took Lysol wipes to the pots, washers, and nuts to make...

Appreciate it, thanks!

Hello Everyone, After working on my Silver Sky this weekend, I discovered a lot of mold under the volume knob. We had a gig this past summer that was humid and misting, never thought to clean under the volume knob - but I'm sure this is when it happened. Anyway, I pitched the volume knob...

Thank you for the feedback everyone!

Hello Everyone, I have a set of 57/08 pickups in my McCarty and wondering what differences there are between these and the 58/15 LT pickups available right now?

Hey Everyone, I bought a Silver Sky SE and finally changed the strings recently to NYXL 10-46. Now, when I use the tremolo arm, the strings catch (in the nut slots) and some jump wildy out of tune. Is this normal? I'd rather not drive to get the nut slots recut. Debating buying the PRS strings...

Hey Everyone, I normally hang my silver sky and McCarty guitars on a wall next to our window. For a few hours a day the sunlight seems to hit them directly. I’ve touched them before and they are pretty warm after being in the sun. I’m not really worried about finish problems, but should I be...

Hi Everyone, Days after a really humid gig, I noticed green/dark spots on some of the plastic tuning keys/pegs on my silver sky. I have used Lysol wipes to remove most of it, but there are some spot stains leftover which are difficult to see without a light. Anyone else experience this...
