No PS on the Fiore either. I asked, and got a resounding "no".

Some of those haters are still here, and I happen to know one... LOL
But in all fairness it has less to do with the SS being a strat style guitar than anything. It's actually one of the reasons I though I'd like it.

I dig this guitar. A lot, actually. While I'm not too sure why they went with a different trem system (it is a head-scratcher for me), the rest of the guitar is very much in tune with 'where I am' as a player. I'm looking forward to trying one out for myself.

How long before these get an FR bridge and locking nut for the full-blow super-strat vibe? Surely I'm not the only one who can see a lot of similarity with the EVH Proto.
I think the guys in Iron Maiden ought to take this guitar out for a test drive.

Why do you all think they haven’t done a real intro video with Bryan Ewald? I dig the one they did but it didn’t go into the whole tonal spectrum available on the guitar, his interview with Sweetwater did a much better job. Also the Fiore neck carve and fret size are not yet defined. Waiting patiently and have my finger on the buy-it-now button pending answers.

Maybe so many people judged the Silver Sky neck before touching it they have shied away from revealing the specs until after it has established a reputation as a good playing guitar.

The SS specs were easy for some to shy away from on paper. A 7.25 radius is enough to discount it in the age of flat boards and compound radius then add chunky. I know it's the online age and Covid put more of a wrinkle in things, but I couldn't be one of those people that buys or dismisses a guitar from reading on line. I don't need to play the exact guitar, but I'm going to seek out the model or similar even if I have to take a mini road trip. Cheap guitars are one thing but a PRS is another.
At least the Fore has a radius that more people can associate easier with of 10".

Brings back find memories of an old Kramer I had in the late 80's. Needs a Kahler, though. LOL
I hope this model does well for PRS, it's long overdue IMHO.

I would argue in the other direction that not as many people will take a flyer on a sight unseen purchase without knowing the full spec. I trust PRS implicitly to make a killer playing and constructed guitar but won’t buy without knowing basic details that can affect the feel of it.

for sure but why did we have to wait for a sweetwater ad/video to find out what the two push pulls do? Exactly my point.

Some really nice playing from ML.
That’s a really versatile guitar.
If they don’t fly off the shelves, then there’s something seriously wrong!

I have to agree, seems very versatile. Also, he really helps sell it, seems like a genuinely cool guy. At first it didn't do much for me but the more I see it an watch videos like this it reels me in. I've been really wanting a maple neck PRS too... Creeping on up
I hope it does well.

I’ll pick up a used one, if...it has a 10” radius and a pattern-ish fretboard. I don’t like the 71/4 radius fretboard, and I never will. Back in the mid 70’s, I put a Gibson humbucker in my strat, in the bridge position, ( using a router...I worked on sailboats, so I knew my way around power tools ) and had the neck professionally re-radiused to 12”, and had bass frets installed, by Manny’s music in NY city. I used that guitar for the next 24 years, then bought my first PRS..and have been using them ever since.

Yep...cool video...and my total "Damn, I'm a nerd" moment...noticing the 3 screws that hold the electronics cavity cover are not in the corners...like "normal"???

@Shawn@PRS Is there someone at the factory that can reach out to the guys in Iron Maiden to let them know about this new model?
