    Locking tuner cap screws

    Hi everyone, Hoping you knowledgeable folk could help me out. I was perusing the store and had a thought. Would the silver sky tuner cap screws fit on other PRS locking tuners?Specifically the low mass tuners on CE/S2 models. I reckon it might be a good look. There’s no reason I can think of...

    Silver Sky Body Templates?

    Hey guys, I've looked through the internet a fair amount but can't seem to find any information whatsoever on the SS body. I'm a long, long way from justifying (and affording) a purchase, so in the meantime I'd love to do a home build, Partscaster-style. Is there anywhere you guys would know...

    Anyone have experience with satin finishes?

    I placed an order for a Moc Sand Satin Silver Sky, but I’m contemplating cancelling it and trying to find a gloss version from 2020, as I’m not sure how I’ll like the guitar glossing up in places over time. Anyone have experience with satin finishes? How long did it last before turning glossy...

    Normal wear for a maple SS?

    Purchased those polar blue silver sky back in December. Intermediate player with 1 hour a day average play. Not too worried about it, but is this kind of wear expected so soon? Are my sweaty hands a natural destroyer of fine finishes? https://ibb.co/0sTm7Gk https://ibb.co/2ghVy7k...

    Silver Sky Trem Issue

    Hey Everyone, Got a Silver Sky and the bridged is decked (factory setup). When I use the tremolo a bit, I noticed the G and B strings do not go back in tune - they go sharp actually. Is this a problem with the bridge being decked? Do I need to make it a floating trem setup to use it? Or...

    Sizzling B string on new Silver Sky

    Hello. I just got a brand new Silver Sky with maple fretboard. I have this odd issue where the B string has a kind of sizzle sound to it when played fretted. The action is just a bit above 4/64" on the high E at fret 12 to 5/64" on the low E. The relief is about .006 at the 8th fret but I...

    Ilitch System install onto Silver Sky?

    Has anyone installed a Ilitch Hum Cancelling system into their Silver Sky? I know that I would have to flip the reverse wound pick up which is scary if it changes the tone.

    I have a 2019 Silver Sky and I'm looking to alter the neck to make it more like the 2020 Silver Sky with rounder shoulders. If I was to give this to a luthier what measurements would he need? I want to make sure it's done correctly. Thanks
