There are haters who love to hate Mayer, and there are haters who love to hate PRS; so a PRS Mayer guitar that has the additional audacity to be similar to a Strat is a powerful catalyst for the members of The Great Hater Internet Armageddon Society.
It’s like a recipe for Hate Soup.
The haters are all gonna have some.
While we anxiously await the clips from JMT...I have an obsevation of all this. Just my personal opinion... Nothing more nothing less.
I'm not a Mayer fan myself, but I do appreciate and respect the guys talent & skill...and thats about it. I AM however a huge fan of PRS, what they do, and the passion they do it with!
Watching the release of the Silver Sky as it has played out thus far, has given me flashbacks of business school. I gotta say, it's a beautiful dance to watch especially if you're familiar with the moves taking place. Yup, this has all the makings of a brilliant and beautifully executed business strategy...This is what I call Success Through Systematic Innovation. Call it whatever you like, the bottom line is PRSh and his team, are the very best of the best at what they do! My best guess is, every detail of this guitar and it's release, were thought out, planned and executed, with surgical precision. So, kudos to all involved!
I bet terms like "Strategic Control", "Success Requirements" and "Success Factors" were used, but more importantly implemented...A LOT over the last 2 years! That's just a guess, but one I would wager on, none the less.
The end game is this. We're all a part of this brilliant business plan. We always are. As long as we demand a supply of, in this particular scenario, another awesome PRS, that we didn't quite have available, until now. To me, that is a very cool thing. To some, it's a new and unusual thing to be all butt-hurt and upset about...
I'm just stoked that l get to reap the rewards of some really smart and talented folks, doing what they do best..KILLING IT by giving us more new and exciting flavors of kool-aid to desire and acquire! Aka known as...WINNING!
NOW WHERE ARE OUR CLIPS MAN!
