Funny, I noticed the small frets as soon as I looked at the pic, before reading any posts. How are they?
Congrats!!!

More detailed report to come later when I'm not phone-reliant, but, yep, it's the Silver Sky I swore I wasn't buying. Tungsten, as beerbatteredphish said. We had a blast playing this Saturday, and the more we played it, the more I felt myself falling. Even though I don't consider myself a Strat guy, it reminded me of everything I love about that sound. But in a more playable package.
Congrats! And...you're welcome

Hard to add much to what beerbatteredphish said on the Official Silver Sky thread, but the guitar is everything it was cracked up to be. The pickups are really cool - very responsive, very flexible. The middle pickup was really solid. We played it through an MT15 - it was a great combination. I had it on the gain channel with the bridge pup wide open, and when I rolled it back to about 2, it had a nice crunch - not quite clean, but not really dirty.
The pickups are surprisingly quiet. I did hear a bit of noise on the gain channel, but when I played a 594 through the amp later, it really wasn't much different. I noticed it maybe a bit more at home w/o the store noise to hide it.
The smaller frets were something I didn't really notice. If I did, I adjusted really quickly. To my surprise, I didn't really notice the radius, either. And we tried like crazy to make it fret out - no luck. I was getting step and a half bends in the store, almost two full steps at home, and it just rang like a bell.
The closest thing I have to a negative is the decked trem. My preference is to have a floating trem, so the decked throws me a bit (I have an EVH that's setup for dive only, and I have the same issues there). I may change that at some point, but for now, I want to leave it as is.
I think some folks are going to be very pleased when these land.

Conrats ! I like the colour too.
My oldest guitar has tiny frets. They are banjo wire. They play beautifully and are still original after more than 40 years
Enjoy!
