Picked up a brand new SE Silver Sky. Pretty impressed with it so far. I’ve always been on the fence with SEs and I’d heard some horror stories about the QC on these maple SS specifically, but this one seems excellent. QC, fit, finish, frets all that seem about as perfect as you could expect from an Indonesian guitar. Arrived perfectly in tune, action is too high but that’s just setup stuff
The neck is CHONKY almost as fat as the thinskon tele I used to have. Feels comfortable though and the satin is nice
Tone wise, I’ll flat out say if. I like these pickups better than my am. Pro II strat by a fair amount. More of a Jerry sound too, which is unsurprising considering it’s the Mayer sig. not so sure under dirt though, may need to adjust some settings on my amps or just crank/spend more time. Sounded a bit buzzy at low volumes through the gain channels on my mk V. Those cleans though
I’m probably selling my am pro II strat. It’s a fantastic guitar but it gets the least play time of anything I have. Friends dad wants to buy it, and I got an insane hookup on this SS from friend of a another friend who works at a shop. Want to keep an S type in my collection but wanted to reallocate some funds to other stuff. Decided to grab the SS first before doing anything I might regret, but I think I’m satisfied with just rolling with this

Re: NGD - PRS Poverty Edition
You know what’s funny? I’ve been looking at the SE SS and even the SE NF3 a bit, even though I was originally DNW.

I thought the nf3 was an abomination at first but it’s already kinda growing in me. Seems cool. Kinda hope they do either an S2 or SE nf53

A good friend had the SE SS also. Dude loved it. I’ve had good luck with SEs too, at least the more recent ones. I think you got a good guitar, dude.

WANT! Been wanting. But, alas, how many Strats does one need? I'll stick with my Fenders.

Congrats man. I haven't played the SE version yet but I played the regular version of the Silver Sky and I was really impressed with it. They sound amazing. I need to try out the SE version at some point. Every SE I've played so far has been great.

Congrats, I played one the exact same color and fretboard. I thought it was very comfortable to play and the pickups sounded pretty damn good too.

Got a chance to play the SE Silver Sky and the SE NF3 over the weekend at one of the local shops. They are both excellent guitars. I think the NF was my favorite of the two. A little fatter sounding with those pickups and I liked the neck profile more. Some nice candy metallic colors as well. Both were excellent guitars and it was hard to find many flaws with either. The true winner of the day though was the NF53 (tele-esqe). It was perfect.

Re: NGD - PRS Poverty Edition
I do the same thing. Do I need another one? No… do I want one? Well I have 2 SEs and 1 S2 and that’s an uneven ratio of Import to USA PRS guitars here. So I guess I need to fix that.
