Silver Sky changed frets?

[Revelation]

The white Silver Sky which is a couple years old has shorter frets than the gold one I saw at the store. This gives me the impression that they made the frets taller. Is this true? The gold one is the first photo. The white one is more like my 1982 Fender American Strat. The 2022 Silver Sky in Gold has taller frets which I like. It helps you when you move up the neck not to overshoot the fret your going to.

Ok so they started off 6230 vintage frets and now they have the 6105 which are taller. I like them better than the vintage which are on my 82 Strat

Interesting.

When I bought my Silver Sky SE I was able to compare it to two other SS SE's and one used USA Silver Sky.

I felt that the frets on the USA model were too small and too low, like the frets I replaced on my real '63 Strat that i owned for about 40 years.

The frets on the SE were taller and much easier to bend strings on.

I'm basically a blues player.

So I bought the SE even though the used USA Silver Sky was available for a great price.

Now I'm guessing that the used Silver Sky was an older model with small frets like those found on early 60's Fenders.

Good move by PRS switching to the taller 6105 frets.

I've read that the pickups have evolved and changed on the USA Silver Sky too.

The used one I tried and compared to the Silver Sky SE I eventually bought, had pickups that sounded very similar.

It was an excellent guitar and one of the best Strats I've ever played, but it wasn't indisputably better than the SE I bought.

I agree with you 100 percent. I have a 1982 Strat but because of the small frets, and ice picky back pickup makes me want to buy a Silver Sky.

You might like the SE then. I love mine. I could have purchased either but I preferred the SE.

However, I would guess that I haven't heard the USA Silver Sky with the revamped pickups.
