I used to do hot Yoga where we heat up the core with vinyasa's first and then do the yoga moves. I dreaded that part.
It was excruciating and a great pleasure when over. Meaning I felt great afterwards and real loose!

Actually, I need to do some core burning, as much as I hate it. Past a certain age, doesn't seem to matter how hard you work out, that belly fat doesn't want to go away.
I got on the plank kick a couple years back when Shawn had that challenge, and was trying to do some of those type things on top of elliptical, biking weights, etc. But I haven't done any of those in a year now.

So it’s not the same bridge as the CE?

CE uses the same bridge as the SE line. Silver Sky has its own bridge (which is likely made in Asia also).

I was just browsing the 'verb and came across a Mira that was specified as "Core" from 2008 but it has an S2 type carve and electronics package.
Is this just sellers hyperbole or is it a Core?

It’s a Core. There were no S2 or SE versions in that model year.
Here’s my 2008 for comparison
Dumb question: but are core bridges and tuners made in the USA? I had a feeling they were imports too. I know originally the bridges were made in the USA.

I want to say the tuners are Gotoh but I can't recall the bridge. Someone will chime in.

Pretty sure this is still the case. Bridges are made in the US.

Part of what makes the S2 & Bolt-on range what they are is the 'neck'. By using a Scarf joint, they can make more necks in a short time from less wood (less waste) and a LOT quicker than it takes to make a 'single' piece neck - with all the waiting in case the wood moves/twists after having a chunk removed.
As the Silver Sky has the same 'S2/Bolt-on' neck - albeit with its own headstock/carve and 'in-house' US made pups, that puts it firmly in the Bolt-on range like the Dusty Waring which I have also seen called 'Core' - and always just assumed that this was used as its easier than saying US made Bolt-on range - especially when those models in particular are the only US made version of those models.
With the Silver Sky in particular, 'Bolt-on' is a given for that style of guitar and could get confusing if trying to refer to the way the neck is attached or the range in which it fits in the PRS line-up. US made version is often simplified to 'Core' - especially now there is an SE on the market.
As PRS themselves classify this as part of the 'Bolt-on' range, and classify the core with 1piece necks, traditional violin carve etc then I will continue to think of this the 'same' way PRS themselves do...

SE HB II Piezo comes with a case but I get what you're driving at!!I say ask if it comes default with a hard case. Then you will know what’s core
