07:08 Ouch! ????
How is the note sustain? On my Ultra I’m getting around 4.5-7 seconds, fretted note, not open.
Maple yellows out especially over time.
this dude looks like markiplier
How is this guitar with players with small hands
I have a prs 24, a gibson Lp, a strat mex roadhouse special and bought a silver sky on preorder. It was an utter disappointment. I love JM and thought his name would only endorse a qualilty instrument. It sucked. Poor construction, cracked paint around neck pocket, burrs on frets, poor setup, etc. It sucked. Bought from andertons and they were happy to take it back. Im sure the real SS is awesome but the SE edition sucks, unless you have no standards to compare it to.
Also, the pickups are too white and look like a cheapy Chinese copy… oh wait.
I own 2 Strats with humbuckers, one Music Man Luke, a Telly, a Les Paul and a HH Ibanez. I would really love to buy this SE just because I really like the shape and the colour of this guitar,but I wonder how it could fit with the rest of my collection. I don't really understand how I could justify a 1000 Euro expense for just another guitar that I don't really need
Was that Oh Darling in the beginning?
I got myself a SE Silver Sky from the internet sight unseen. Stone Blue colour with the gig bag. Im just an amateur who used to play punk rock. I dont own expensive guitars. To me, the SESS is my most expensive guitar I own. It’s not perfect when it arrive. Had some crooked knobs, some fret buzz, one fret dot marking were not fully round. Got most of it fixed by a luthier. Now, It plays very well. Comfortable neck, amazing pick-up which handles distortion well. Fav position 5 and 4. The volume across all position are the same! Impressive tones. I love to play it everyday. Something that I really like about PRS is in the pups and the neck. The sensitive touch between the strings and fret.
Do u still own the SE? i'm torn between the Se and the Core which is obviously more expensive
that intro was nasty
Sire guitars beat everything all to hell. Sire is the real deal strat and tele and 335 and jazzmaster and les paul. They are all leaps and bounds ahead of anything I've played in a long time. Been a guitar tech for over 47 yrs and I fell in love with Sire guitars. I think you will too!
I’m torn between this and the P90 Revstar
I own one and they are GREAT!!!!
8.5" neck radius.
Okay my review noone asked for:
Colour wise i Love the moon White but i get that its boring.
Playwise wow insane guitar Love the Classic strat Sound and never really found it for such a price ….i paid 670€ in a Sale and my god what a steal …even for the full price its such a good guitar.
The Attack on this guitar is crazy good the pickups all Sound useable and the five way is SO much better to engage mid playing than any other round Switch (Englisch is not my first language therefore im Not that good at describing this but i hope u get the point)
Neck feels really good you can slide Up and down without missing a beat. It feels like a guitar with character…Something ive been missing with my se starla.
PRS guitars in my humble opinion suck so bad that I have stopped taking them in for setups and repairs at my shop. They are just cheap as they come. Finish, hardware, electronics, bridges, tuners, truss rod adjustments and truss rod covers. I hope I never see another one ever again. And don't go there because I have seen all models and all SUCK!!!!!!!!!! Sorry!
Can you post your amp and pedal please ?
I love it. But I HATE that it’s made of poplar. Isn’t that a really weak wood?
Yeah it's a "Student Edition"
If this is your only exposure to the PRS JMSK its far from the real deal.
Thank you for playing the "Neon" riff! Now I want one dang it lol
Great performance; well played! Beautiful guitar and sensational tone.
Nice review, did you end up keeping it ?
The art of guitar is …
Wait for it ..
Is.. To drop near a grand for a Indonesian made guitar.
That pretends it's not a Indonesian made guitar,
So you can pretend too.
You know? "A rose by any other name?" and all that ….
Cort makes some good guitars, at least the Korean slave labour market ones were awesome in the sub 300 market.
Beautiful guitar. I love the color I guess it’s a personal preference. Tuners are really functional and not over or under responsive. The guitar sounds awesome. Only thing I didn’t like, my hand kept bumping the volume control turning my sound off. I might possibly learn to avoid this if I owned the guitar. Nice review thanks.
What amp are you using?
Man that guitar sounds so good. I ordered one in the same colour, I can't wait!!
Great review…
I just bought one and I like it better than my American Pro II Strat. The neck radius is more comfortable and the pick ups sound better to me. Best 700 bucks I've spent!
Really good quality from PRS, especially being made overseas. Thanks for the great review!
I'm about to buy my first higher quality guitar upgrading from a Squire Strat. And I'm torn between a player strat or a Silver Sky Se. I really love them both, but kind of like the PRS a little better. However, a fender has a whole lot more in the way of potentially upgrading the guitar in the future. This video was really helpful though
I know prs plays very well but the colors, the birds, headstock, signature logo, boring tone, just kill me.
Been wanting one. I really wanna like it. Seen one in person and damn imo they look cheap as hell. I dunno why. Just gives me a cheap feeling looking at one in person. I did not play it , as we all know looks and sound are two different things. I just couldn’t get past the ugly aesthetic of it. I’ll stick with a fender if I want a sss guitar.
This guitar is on sale right now, and I’m considering it, but do you think it’s good for non bluesy type stuff?
The SE honestly doesn't come close to the core.
Props on the Creepshow tshirt !
Brutally honest… that guitar is a ridiculous outright ripoff of a Stratocaster except for the headstock… its stupid and Fender should sue them
No one ever plays the middle pickup. ????
Man i love strats in general especially 50's and 60's strat sounds this guitar is Definitely on my radar its now time to save for this guitar imo this is the best strat copy you can get without breaking the bank
I was skeptical too, I hate the 10 size strings, I got to go with 9,s at least but I’ve played 2 of them and they stay in tune good. Play great and tone is great I like the number 2 position , the quacky sound best. I’m just worried how it will be with lighter strings. I ordered one anyway. I played the USA model at Sam ash, that what I really want,, but can’t afford right now. Thanks for the review. Subscribed. I’ve played for close to 60 yrs. Very impressed with the guitar.
These guitars are so Fugly
I keep trying to talk myself into this thing, and everytime i hear one it just sounds thin and lifeless compared to the strat. Just am NOT sold on this thing at all
Dude, are you a Torontonian?
Thanks for your honesty with this review. So many just praise PRS guitars and you wonder how many are getting paid by PRS to do a positive review. I really think this guitar is fantastic. I own the USA version which has slightly brighter pickups and different radius neck. But the SE is really really nice.
did you float the bridge or leave it decked?
