Possibility of a new Silver Sky model in 2019?

How likely is it that PRS will release a new SS model. Maybe something with bigger frets..

I think its highly unlikely - New colours at most but as for changing something - like the fret size or the fretboard radius, I very much doubt it. The guitar is almost a 'signature' model and if John Mayer was 'happy' with the Solver Sky, then there is very little reason it will be changed...

Maybe something with a 10” radius, medium jumbo frets, a pattern neck, and a 25 scale neck! I’d buy that in a heartbeat!

Never say never, but highly doubtful. It's a JM spec'd guitar, so unless JM wants/needs a change or update I'd say forget it.
If an updated/modernized SSS type guitar did show up, it sure wouldn't be called a Silver Sky IMHO.

 

[Johnny Rigs]

I wouldn’t change anything on a model that I can’t make fast enough as it is.

 

[bodia]

I'm in the "not likely" camp.

 

[WA Paul]

I thought Silver Sky was supposed to be a series of instruments, not just the one from the original interview? I would suspect another JM inspired guitar down the road, but likely not in the strat formula. Pure guess on my part.

DC3 - Scale is 25 1/4 Funny how many folks are asking for a guitars PRS made that didn't sell really well ( I have one tho )

I have one of those. It's pretty cool. Wouldn't mind another.

Reinvent a reinvented wheel?

Exactly.

Reinvent a reinvented wheel?

That's pretty much been Paul's mantra, if you listen to his interviews, presentations, etc.

 

[WallyG3]

An HSS model would be cool. Maple neck option, maybe? They probably stayed away from sunburst finishes due to the JM signature Strats, but that would be nice to see anyway.

I dunno, there are is an awful lot being left on the table by not having a version with bigger frets and a flatter board. I think something along those lines is inevitable, and I'd bet there'll eventually even be a full shredder type version with a humbucker bridge, locking tuners, and jumbo frets. Give it another year or two ...

I love the guitar as is, so I'm not jonesing for a big overhaul. I AM, however, all in for additional colors. I've quite liked the two new ones John has previewed live and on IG. Not sure which one I'd get!

What new colours?

 

[Bret Trammell]

What new colours?

One was called Shadow (seen below), I believe. It's a darker color with what looks like a pink scoop. The other was lighter, maybe a beige-ish color.

Reverse the body color and the scoop color and I am all in!

Hate to say it, but isn't that the stock silver color, and the "pink" scoop is from the lighting...????
(But I'd take a maple FB...ok, and bigger frets...)
