If you saw my other post, the Silver Sky at the store had a wide gap on the neck/body joint. I notified PRS and they took the guitar back from the store to correct it. I prefer ordering guitars from local stores if I can help it. Well, I just ordered the guitar again, this time sight unseen. It should be arriving on Saturday. I am hopeful that the neck/body joint is not an issue on this one.
On my other posts, I was not as much of a fan of the darker pickup sounds of the current Silver Sky vs my son's 2020 Silver Sky which has a little more top end. However as I have a bright and thinner sounding 1982 Fender Strat, I decided I wanted something closer to the early 60 Strats. I thought about the Fender Vintage II 61 Strat but some of the improvements on a Silver Sky draw me to it. I know the frets on the new ones are also taller than my son's Silver Sky as well. I am thinking, due to the 7.25 radius neck, the higher frets might be helpful when playing lead higher on the neck. Time will tell. I have a full 30 day trial period so I will be comparing it to my sons guitar as well as my 1982 Strat.
