always skeptical about the difference a maple board gives, over rosewood. What's the verdict?
I have a 2019 core but wanted a se so I ordered this one last night I love the color
Amazing guitar. Everything about it is top-notch. If I had to say one thing that isn't perfect, it would be the bird inlays. They are just fine but slightly better on the Rosewood version.
Other than the strat, the prs cort made must be the best thing in quality and specs. Not fancy but very very well made instrument! Maybe way better than a 2024 mexican fender…
You talk too much
(This comment is just me talking myself into buying one ????????????????✌️)
Just noticed all pay plan sites now have these in lefty and even though i barely play at all and dont ever see myself getting “good” at all these giving rosewood option im fairly confident G.A.S. Will win out one more time . Especially since im a blues / SRV fanatic and fender did NOT make player plus strats in lefty sunburst rosewood and i ended up getting a maple …I don’t know why for sure , but theres nothing “ wrong “ with that guitar …its fricken excellent but i seem to have to force myself to noodle around on it …my old 2012 mim sunburst rosewood strat that i put a lot of time in on as a completely newbie was the last inexpensive rosewood fender in sunburst lefty ive seen…and i stupidly sold it years back …(one of those regrets that stick witH ya to the end) …long winded point : i dont care if the sky isnt a sunburst and the colors they offer in rosewood are decent !
It just sounds better than the strat in every way. I'm getting an Silver Sky SE
I had one. The neck sucks
Has anyone played the $200 sonic series squier and compare it to this prs? I swear its the same neck and quality. Ive played this SE model at guitarcenter and cant get over how similar these necks feel. They dont feel like strat necks. Both a little wider and chunkier. Both have this light cheap budget feel to them. Thats just my take.
Thinking about getting one of these.
Love mine got it today just getting to know the S style sounds funky and twangy! Very cool soune, very comfortable to hold w the body cut. Rosewood for me
Was going evergreen/rosewood but now overland grey/maple. Local store has a bunch on sale by appointment only. I'd get both but my wife would freak out.
I just got the rosewood version mint condition used at a great price. It’s Dragonfruit. I haven’t been able to put it down. It’s lighter than my USA strat and the pickups seem more mellow. Someone in the comments said the pickups were very hot. I am not finding that. My PRS 35th anniversary has the hottest pickups of every guitar I own. These just sound great. Also the neck is just right for me and I would not want the maple version if it is thicker.
I'm either getting either this one Nylon blue on maple or overland grey. I love the maple fingerboard. Or, a player strat. I'm TORN
Want an HSS version
I have the Maple on order, it’s my first real nice guitar. Am I still going to be happy with it?
Hey Tom , I finally was able to try one out today, actually identical to yours nylon blue. Quick question, I noticed the front of the bridge is sitting up with the back down tight to the body. Is that the cause for such high string action, because I pretty much liked everything else about it .
Initially, I wanted the maple fingerboard. After hearing some comparison videos and thinking it over for a while, I decided on the rosewood. The resonance is definitely different (better or worse, subjective). After noticing the resonance difference, and ultimately deciding on the Rosewood Moon White version – the maple fingerboard feels incomplete for me
Is it lighter than Fender Strat Player?
Hey Tom, I have another question. Some say the maple neck feels chunkier, is that your feeling as well. I really like maple necks but haven’t come across at any of my local shops. And I’m not really a fan of chunky necks.
I prefer rosewood but love maple as well. The maple on these looks too white for my taste. I just ordered one from GC, and I'm perplexed because in their description it says it possesses a push pull tone pot for humbuckers sounds as well as single coil tones? Can anyone confirm this statement?
The big thing that makes wanna choose se silver sky over fender player is that the rosewood fretboard is so much nicer than the pau ferro imo.
Hard to tell what the color really looks like. In this video, it looks more greenish blue.
I've had a chance to try out a few samples of the maple fingerboard SE and compare it with the Rosewood models that were in the store. Just a few observations:
-The neck carve on the maple fingerboard models feels a little bigger than the earlier SE Rosewood models. Not necessarily thicker or wider but I think the carve has more "shoulder" to them
-The newer (or recently made) Rosewood models also seem to have a similar carve to the Maple fingerboard versions
-The satin finishes on the maple neck versions don't feel as nice as the Rosewood models
-The inlays on the maple fingerboard version seem to be made up of the same plastic material used on the tuner buttons/truss rod cover (wish they just went with an outline instead)
For myself, I will probably try to find a deal on an earlier used Rosewood model as I preferred that neck carve but those who prefer a fuller feeling neck carve may like the newer models. But I agree, my choice would also be to get a nylon blue or summit purple with the earlier Rosewood board necks. 🙂
Hooked me with that intro! I HAVE TO KNOW
My educated guess based on Mayer’s niche interests is that this color is based on Porsche’s Murano Green ????️♂️
Tom, thanks for the video. Which one is your favorite SE model so far?
The PRS sliver Sky SE is the only guitar in my world where I would be happy with any color choice. They all look great, maybe if I saw them in real life next to each other, only than I would have a favorite.
Isn’t it criminal that at PRS itself they couldn’t loan the rosewood model to do a comparison? ????
