I tried a silver sky when they first came out but didn't love the vintage frets. My fingers hurt playing it due to rubbing the fretboard too much (I think).

I'm interested in the model and have been reading conflicting specs about the current fret size. Some places list it as 55x090 but that seems like a huge jump up in size. I have read that the spec has changed a few times with John Mayer's tastes evolving.

What is the current Silver Sky fret size?

Thanks!

I'm not sure when it happened but there was a change around 2021 from vintage to regular 45104 frets.

Vintage tall is what I would call them, to me feels something akin to Jescar FW55090 (6105).

Still very playable though on the '22 model I spent a good hour with, but when I see pics of the '23 models compared to the '21 the frets don't seem as wide??

I wish PRS would be a bit more open with their customer base in regard to these changes!
Also to note, the '22 I played had a notably shorter '64 length style trem arm.
