Shortly after the SS came out, I was at Disney World and I heard a band playing Crazy Train. I wandered over and the guitarist was playing a new Silver Sky (a red one). The rest of the set was hard rock (80s and 90s mix) and the SS covered everything. I chatted with the guitarist after, and he said he was still putting it through its paces, but was very impressed with it. I’ve only had my SS for a couple of weeks and it’s very versatile and I think it handles hard rock/90s stuff very well (IMO/YMMV). I think you’d be okay with SS SE.
