Can't own them with out comparing them
DC3 - Is a stunning guitar , solid as a rock , Tone for days , Bigger and Fatter, smoother sounding than most Strats
25 1/4 scale , 10" radius and what feels like a Pattern Regular neck, there is nothing missing or wrong with this guitar it just works like you would expect any PRS to work.
Its a bit brighter than my 305 was and has more " quack " in 2+4 position.
Silver Sky - After playing 2 other SS , I felt like I really needed one, there is something familiar only better.
The pickups are very quite like the DC3 single coil buzz is as low as I have ever heard, no Static or other issues with my guitar.
The body shape is to my eye is the same as a DC3 and the headstock looks better in person than photos.
25 1/2" Scale , 7.5" Radius and a rounder deeper feeling neck that any of my PRS.
This guitar rewards a bit of extra effort when playing.
Chords are really easy and leads are no problem I don't feel the radius or frets.
The neck is really what just works on this guitar.
Other notes - Tuners are really smooth.
and just because my 2003 MIM Fender Strat.
The Mods ( so I could play it at all after playing my PRS )
Modern C Left handed neck worn Nitro finish and locking tuners
Custom paint and Nitro finish
Mann- Made Bridge
Tusq Nut
Fender Tex Mex pickups , shielding paint.
This is one of the good ones , sounds nice but the neck is kinda thin for me I will prob find a U shaped neck down the line.
Really like how the Mann Bridge feels but it made it sound more PRS and less Strat , I like it , more sustain fuller sound that said the DC3 and the SS are far better guitars, to get close to this you need to be in the Master Build territory to get the same feel as the PRS.
The joy for me is that all three are more than different enough ( and great enough ) to own them all !!!!
