    Try adjusting the truss rod. Of the 5 PRS's I've owned, including McCarty 245 and 594 models, the guitars all came from factory with the truss rods not adjusted. Some might say that this is something the retailer is supposed to do for the customer, but not all retailers do it. It is also...

    I'm not the only one here with 3, azzkkr also has 3.

    I think the PRS single coils are great, I personally wouldn't touch them. Unless you're hoping to go with humbuckers or something, then the approach would be similar to any other SSS configured Strat.

    Just get one and customize it the way you like it. I encourage you to! We've done that with Strats for decades. Especially since the Silver Sky is essentially a Strat style variant, it would seem like the natural thing to do.

    I've got my Horizon Silver Sky in-hand now, other than a 6 oz weight difference, and considering that it is made roughly 5 months after the Onyx one, they are remarkably similar, showing PRS's consistency. Even the asymmetrical neck profile is exactly the same. The only gripe I have so far with...

    I fully intend to refinish one or more of them in custom color, and in all probability refret one of them to slightly larger wire, just so that I have a variety. Just like my Strats, they don’t stay original for long!

    Just got a call from my local dealer, my Horizon has arrived earlier than expected! Collecting it tomorrow. It will join my Onyx. Let's see how consistent the guitars are. My Tungsten is supposed to arrive in Jan/Feb next year. If it comes by Christmas, that would be a bonus!

    I've seen the PRS specifications somewhere before and it says 2 or 3 piece Alder body. My Silver Sky is a 3 piece body, you can clearly see the seams under the finish.

    Thanks for the pic! I'm just wondering, though, what that additional strip could possibly do other than maybe connecting the lower pickup screws to ground. Those screws do nothing on the pickup other than mount it and provide height adjustment. Very curious.

    Narrower than Pattern. Same at the nut as a Pattern Regular, but probably a touch less taper.

    I can't comment on current Strat models but if I'm comparing the SilverSky fret board to my pre-CBS Strats, the Silver Sky is much wider. Not marginally wider, much wider, and it is very noticeable. When they say the neck is based on a 63/64 neck profile, I would agree that it is vintage Strat...

    Maybe we should take a poll and see if those who have experienced the static noise had also removed the plastic film, or conversely, if anyone who has experienced the static noise still has the plastic film on the pickguard.

    You'll probably keep it. I have an Onyx and I've put in orders for a Tungsten and a Horizon.

    60s Strats had a full pickguard sized aluminium sheet sandwiched between the guitar body and pickguard, so I don't think that guy is entirely correct. However, I guess it's debatable how good aluminium is at shielding.
