SILVER SKY MODS - HHH CONFIGURATION

[ELPANABANANA]

You sir, have out done yourself!
Freakin' cool, great job!

Thanks!

Congrats! Sounds like a great journey and a great outcome, it certainly looks gorgeous.

Nothin' better than making a guitar just like you want it.

Exactly. I love making a guitar my own. It's just wood and metal at the end of the day, right?

 

[ELPANABANANA]

I just absolutely love this. I want to do this for myself. Thank you for sharing this amazing mod/build!

You're welcome! You should go for it! It's such a fun process. Post it when you do. We would all love to see your take on it.

 

[ELPANABANANA]

Congratulations, that’s some PRS family you have.

Nice! I would have just hogged that one out swimming pool style but it looks great all buttoned up.

That’s a flippin’ HHHot guitar. It must sound great with those pickup choices you made. Really well done.

You know, I think I've seen someone do T. Delonge on a Silver Sky already. I'm not sure where i saw it, if it was here in the forum or on Instagram.

Zach Myers (Shinedown) has one.
I didn't realize one was an SE.

Enjoy!

Very very cool!

Love the new paint job!

The tuners look odd to me, the posts seem really tall?

I’d say that paint job was worth every penny!

Belated Bangin’!

Great job! That’s one of the coolest PRS I’ve seen in awhile.

I was prepared for a swimming pool route as well.

Yeah, that’s super sweet all around. As for the cost? You love it… ‘nuff said!

Just to conclusively prove how OC I can sometimes be, I’m looking at the pickguard wiring (and paying attention to the body route) and a lot of the wires (esp. the pup wires) seem longer than they need to be considering all the parts are co-mounted on the guard. I was always advised to keep my wiring clean and concise — am I missing something here that makes the longer wires a benefit?

Love all of those. Pat Sims does some great work. He did my Strat last year and it took 10 months as he now does paint work for Grover Jackson.

He did a purple-blue-green color shift finish on mine.

Wow, congrats! Serious mods.

Dood. This is so cool. I have (2) SS's (Polar Blue and Midnight Rose). Love 'em both, but I have been flirting with dropping a Humbucker(s) in both. This is such an inspiration. Thanks for posting pics, too!

Edit: I do have a question - how's the tuning stability when using the trem with the new saddles, etc?
Neither of mine stay in tune if I so-much-as breath on the tremolo.
Strangest thing - I always assumed they should've stayed in tune with the stock trem, etc.
