My SS SE is likely to be the last strat style guitar I ever buy. Now I can move onto other guitars… the thing is absolutely amazing
K line ftw
I’ll start with an apology to anyone who might be offended – I don’t intend to upset anyone. 🙂
The Springfield appears to me to have a more rounded tone with a bit more body and dynamics to the notes in the DI section. To me, the PRS def sounds a bit anaemic in comparison in that part.
Through the processing things even out a bit sonically. I’m only listening with earbuds on my phone but I’d struggle to tell which was which on a blind AB.
I don’t like the headstock on the PRS, and I’m a little surprise to see the joins on the body are clearly visible under the solid finish – they catch the light and that surprised me for a PRS.
But the absolute killer for me is the bird inlays. I just hate them. A dot neck would look soooooo much nicer.
I played an American Silver Sky and was blown away.
aesthetically, i like the fender more. but in terms of sound and neck width and the clout, i prefer the silver sky
They both sound great, JNC. I don't think there's enough of a difference to matter at all, at least when listening on YouTube with the compression algorithm.
The strat body is such a wonderful rounded sweeping shape, then that PRS headstock looks the polar opposite. It’s jarring and looks like an off cut
Personally love the PRS headstocks and find it baffling that anyone would think otherwise. If Scarlett Johannson’s face was on Alexandra Daddario’s body, I wouldn’t be thinking ‘Ah, you ruined it’ ????
Neither is ugly. In fact it’s a nice touch that PRS flipped their usual headstock around to give a nod to Fender.
Loved the Kline sound. Just a headsup, the di sound of wireless thingy sounds significantly different that a guitar cable. The wireless transmitters tend to capture more frequency response (around highs) than a traditional cable would.
Can I have the swamp ash please?
Silver sky sounds and looks better.????
PRS headstocks just don’t fit my eye.
The difference between the instruments is basically that the K Line is unapologetically chasing the vintage vibe and aesthetic, where the Silver Sky is trying to place vintage characteristics into an otherwise modern instrument. The SS is more different from a Fender than the average Strat copy, albeit that many of the differences are quite subtle.
bending is all fret size, and yeah K-line headstock is far superior to both fender and silver monkey
I bought a maple SS just to have a go due to all the hype. Well, believe the hype – over the last couple of years it's becomee my no. 1. TBH, I'm not 100% sure why – I think it's mostly because it's a "vanilla" guitar: there's nothing it does badly and it's pretty good at everything. Great build quality and the trem is the best I've ever had on a "strat"; it works.
I quite like a 3 on a side headstock, but didn't think it'd look ok on a Strat until I saw the Silver Sky. I think the not-quite-fender-shape of some guitar headstocks put me in that uncanny valley territory, so am afraid the K-Line doesn't sit well with me.
They sound close enough that I'd pick the one that's more comfortable to play. And along those lines, I wonder if you like doing bends on the PRS because of the 3 on a side tuners. It's half way to an inverted headstock.
K Line far superior ????
I like them both, but I prefer the fuller warm sound of the Silver Sky.
Silver Sky sounded hollow. K-Line sounded fuller with more frequencies shining through. Have to go boutique with that
When you have to get the K-Line refretted (by someone you trust to do the work) would you consider stainless steel frets? I know they might feel and sound different, im just curious if you would consider that, so then it would last "forever".
Much prefer the tone of the lollars , smoother and cuts nicely.
Yup silver sky is superior, kline is meh
635 pickups == 1963/64 realm. The Silver Sky controversy that will not die. Both great guitars. Imo, "Hating a Silver Sky" is just silly…or worse.
Kline headstock is definitely the ugliest
