http://www.prsguitars.com/electrics/bolton/silver_sky PRS's new attempt on taking share on the strat market. New cause its not the first, I never played one but remember they made many similar models in the past now discontinued. The low horn cut is a bit too much but I liked the design. Wider fretboard isn't for everyone but it does have its comfort. As pricing since this is a signature model I'd guess they'll match American made Fender prices. |

Last month Ibanez with their AZ series, now PRS. Aren't there already enough Super Strat makers? -------------------- Cyber-industrial music and video animations:

You know, when they came out with the single cut I was like "come on, you guys have you're own very successful thing already" but now with the Strat copy ... please.
I never liked PRS guitars anyway, and now they piss me off. This post has been edited by klasaine: Mar 8 2018, 03:58 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

. Last month Ibanez with their AZ series, now PRS. Aren't there already enough Super Strat makers? No, because still no one makes exactly the one I want This is the closest I think, but if I'm being nitpicky, I still want a 42.8mm nut and that volume knob needs to be in more the Ibanez position than the Fender position. Edit: On second thought, maybe the knob position is ok. This post has been edited by yoncopin: Mar 8 2018, 07:32 PM -------------------- |

Cool guitar! my pickyness would be that the bridge PU is a bit too far from the bridge As for the strat invasion, yeah I agree we may be having too much of similar options. The smaller guitars would be interesting, stuff like strandberg or kiesel is doing. I like S ibanez guitars (never bought one as it may be addictive) also the jackson dinky's body is 5/1 smaller. Thin or small bodys are light, resonant and doesn't look as bad if one plays standing and likes the guitars height closer to his/her chest |

From the description: "Based on the traditional look of ESP’s Snapper guitar shape". It's a good thing they mentioned that. Otherwise, people might get the mistaken impression the shape is based on a Stratocaster .

Actually, maybe 42mm is ok. Ok, maybe I need this guitar... This Squier Contemporary HH is a really compelling one too, at $349 the price is right and they finally put a 12" radius on a Strat. 9.5" is an absolute no go for me.

The great thing about a 'super' Strat is that they're easy to do yourself (and/or with a tech) and you can pretty much get it done your way. As long as you dig the neck on an S style axe EVERYTHING else can be tweaked.

You might want to try to find a Fender 'Big Apple' strat made from 1995 ish to 2003 (dbl 'bucker mod was common for NYC session players in the 70s and 80s - hence, 'big apple').
The five pkup positions are 1st, full neck humbucker 2nd, neck humbucker split coil closest to neck 3rd, both humbuckers together 4th, both humbuckers split on inside coil (a very convincing quack) 5th, bridge humbucker. The pickups are Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and a Pearly Gates+ in the bridge. The pkups really work well together and these are outstanding instruments! I can't be sure of the Radius of the 'big apple' but I have traditional american 'series' strat from 2002 and the fretboard has a 12" radius. I assume string spacing is stock Fender - ? I think after that came the 'Double Fat Strat'. Same pkups. *These axes are also reasonably priced for USA made Fenders.

It has a some-what consistent tone to me after watching a few demo video's. I actually liked how it sounds, deep but not fat or dark. |

They all sound good.
They all sound like Strats. If you played 3 different Strats, 3 dif PRS' and 3 dif Suhr' ... you'd get that variation. *I have 3 Strats with normal wound singles in them. They all sound different. In that vid, for me, the Suhr sounded the least traditional. It has more of a midrange focus (not something I personally like in a Strat). It also sounded like no other Suhr Strat I've ever played. Curious as to exactly what pkups were in it. I dug the PRS in the bridge position 'clean' and the neck/middle position 'clean'. Really articulate, balanced and jangly. I liked the Strat for everything else and I didn't really dig that particular Suhr at all. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Though humbucker, few years ago I tried different pot, cap. values and PU mod's to get rid of that (less lower mid-bump feel and more highs). But the nicer the cleans got the harder it was to maintain a high-gain sounds. That's why both Les Pauls and Stratocasters exist in nature -------------------- - Ken Lasaine
