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...

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. Also did the system drill easily onto your back plate? Any info would be awesome Im considering this but dont want to mess...

Hey y'all - long time reader, first time poster. Forgive me if this has been posted elsewhere - I searched but could not find anything regarding this. I've got a ton of parallel lines that look like "checking" underneath the Frost White finish. Hard to see unless you catch the light just...

Hello Everyone, Bought a new Silver Sky a couple months ago and have noticed lately that when it sits for a few minutes, the strings go sharp (maybe 10-20 cents?). However, if I play for 5-10 seconds, they go back to being in tune. Anyone experience this? Could the tremolo claw screws be too...

Is it normal to have a gap between the neck and the body here?

Hi, My silver sky's saddle has rusted pretty badly. I live in Singapore (high humidity). Any advice? How to get a replacement? How to prevent future rusting? I've cleaned it with wd-40. Can i replace them with vintage fender strat saddles? Thanks.

Hi, Recently I had to take out the saddle and de-rust them with wd-40. But i forgot to mark down the saddle heights. Also I don't have a radius tool. Could someone please post their saddle heights, ideally for factory setups? I would like to start with that and adjust as I go. Right now...

I've been searching for a 2020 Silver Sky with the modified neck shape that has the rounder shoulders. It was announced that 2020 would mark the year maple necks/fretboards were offered. I'm curious, does anyone know if the maple neck has that rounder Neck profile? If not, anyone knows when...

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

I recently purchased a silver sky, being a huge mayer fan and fan of the blues. This came after a long search for a new guitar and I returned my first guitar purchase from sweetwater. The first one was a Music Man Cutlass RS with rosewood fingerboard and roasted neck. I returned it for one main...

Anyone here notice a huge volume difference between 10 and 4-ish on their Silver Sky? To the point where 2/3 are just about non-existent? I just got a new silver sky and it roars at 10 but it's so quiet at 4. Maybe I'm just crazy here or maybe my amp is too quiet, but wondering if anyone...

Just got a Silver Sky from Sweetwater today and saw on the back of the neck that the head stock seems to be a separate piece and is blended in? Either that, or they sold me a guitar which had a neck repair. You can see the wood grains don't line up, so I'm pretty sure it's two pieces. Is this...

Awesome jam with fabulous musicians and did I spot a Silver Sky Nebula in John's hands?

I want a Silver Sky, but I like the look of wood grain on my guitars. What do you think the chances are that a dealer would do a Wood Library run with, for example, a natural smokeburst satin finish (*wink wink*)? Or would that be going too far for WL and have to be Private Stock?

Are the Sliver Sky pick ups typical noisy single coils or do they have any kind of noise cancelling built it? On a related note, what are the best noiseless pickups for a Strat style guitar?

Hello folks, this is my first post in this great community and its because i´ve got a problem. I purchased a Silver Sky in August this year and like many people here wondered about the loose or wobbeling pots, however you may call it. I played the guitar in some rehearsals and also on a few...

Twelve years ago, I ordered a custom fitted Calton case in Calgary for a now-sold short horns DC style guitar. Kept the case, of course, but being exactly fitted to that guitar, it didn't fit anything else until I decided to put the scissors and thread and needle (and some sweat) into it. It now...

Going to see Periphery on Tuesday night (I have 2 extra tix - if any CHI forum folks want them, DM me). Mark tweeted this, confirming again the SE Holcomb 7. https://twitter.com/MarkPeriphery/status/1172602512295288834

Hi everyone! I just received a Silver sky and the scarf joint near the headstock was quite noticeable due to different shades of the two maple pieces. While I find scarf joint a great idea from a functional point of view, it did bother me a bit from the esthetic. How is it on your SS? If you...
