I don't think so. Most people are pre-ordering it from shops and those shops are getting it out to them within a week or two.
Seems like they had a bunch of stock built up.

Kinda what I was thinking. I just wanna hear it the thing already!

Yeah man! I saw the picture from Thomann and it seems to be similar to the hot pink the Roxy was at first!

Is it really at 12pm? I have a meeting at that time...

Makes perfect sense!

That would be '9am' on the west coast so as soon as its officially announced, they can actually say its available 'now' everywhere as the West Coast shops will likely be open too. If they announced it at 9am (East Coast), that would be too early for the West Coast - although that will be 5pm in the UK and later across Europe.

I'm wondering if it'll be a release today-buy in May deal.

We'll see how the day plays out pun intended!

There's a dealer out there with Pre-Order listings saying delivery by 1-26-22

My dude at SW sent me a text saying they have the dragon fruit and ever green, but the other two won't be available until April or May. May be completely the opposite somewhere else.

Pretty sure those other colors sold out already.
I know of a few who got the off white one.

Get them while they last!

I know that prices are forbidden, but not pleased that UK prices are nearly 50% more than US!!

Sorry for the grump.

I feel like that a LOT when looking at Guitar prices here vs the US but then I appreciate that the UK prices are the actual Price (inc the ridiculously high 20% Tax) we pay. The value of the £ against the Dollar doesn't help either. Its likely to be 'twice' as much in Australia - definitely won't be under $1k to them...

I won’t include a link until the official release but there is a video online of a review, not a dealer I know of and not really a good review but you can see and hear it. Easy search if you are interested.

We've reached the day, now what time will the release happen? Got my SE SS cash wad out and looking

1:11pm EST?

 

[Broseph]

Nebula…lunar ice…uranus?!?

JM’s Blackhole?

 

[ScottR]

1:11pm EST?

Exactly...BR549sometime.

That's a"Hee-Haw" reference if anyone doesn't get it.

The SE Silver Sky isn’t playing in the entry-level space. That’s where Squier Affinity is - at 1/3 the price. This is squarely in the Fender Player spot - mid range, working musician’s instruments.

Yeah ... well considering Strat and Strat Copy prices go as high as $2.2 K ... I'm considering anything around $1K ... "entry level "

And even at the "bargain basement " prices, folks find things to like about Squier Affinity and Classic Vibe....

This is tough. SE silver sky for 849, paul’s guitar for similar, or fender player plus (amazingly similar to the American ultra) for about the same as well.

Tough market.

And crowded ... AND the Sire S7 , w/ rolled fret board edges, roasted maple neck, (fret ends, that are actually finished) , locking tuners, maybe decent pickups .All at $599 ???..

Tough Market ...

True... but if the SE Silver Sky is 2/3's or less feeling of the Silver Sky Core then it is worth it. The neck feel of the Core is very good and the whole guitar makes you want to play more. Other strat style guitars I can't get into and never liked.
Saving up a few extra hundred is not a tall ask to get a better feeling instrument.
The SS changed my view on how a guitar should feel.

Maybe you can find a Sire Forum dude...you are a total kill joy.

I sold my silver sky to get a fender custom shop 63 strat. This could be awesome if the se is close to the ss core. I could have both.
