JM is such an incredible player. For rock/blues, he may well be #1 in my book.
I think Keith just didn't want to upstage JM... beside Keith got Nicole Kidman!

Maybe if Keith has an SS he would have stole the show without even trying

This is interesting. OMO seems to be far more similarity in overall tone character than difference , There is some difference but it is pretty subtle. I did a fair amount of noting the exact minute and second where specific parts of riffs are, and quickly going back and forth, Honestly although there are some slight differences . I am guessing that in a blindfolded ABC test one might be able to hear and note differences , but I would guess that most people probably could not consistently identify which was which guitar (granted the differences in the room might be a bit more noticeable but the reviewer even states they are slight) . At least being able to definitely say that is a the Fender , or Suhr, or SS is beyond my capability, which means for me I could probably be quite happy with any of the three (lucky me)

To be fair, I have no doubt that the PRS Sliver Skyy has a better fit and finish than anything that Fender puts out. But that's beside the point...

I also take the alleged wait lists with a grain of salt. Not sure if any of you are familiar with Uncle Tetsu, a Japanese cheesecake joint that used to have ridiculous lineups and equally ridiculous policies (you were only allowed to buy one cake at a time).

The sad part is that their cheesecakes weren't all that good. Eventually the faux novelty wore off and nowadays there's typically no one when I walk by the store in Arcadia, CA. Anyway, I digress.

A faux Strat with a slanted PRS headstock is about as elegant and timeless as a faux Les Paul with a Strat headstock. That's the bottom line.
I agree with you, Mau. I also think it's going to be a big seller, just not you and I. I'll keep my '98 CE-22.

Slightly off topic and probably in need of another thread, but all I ever wanted pretty much from the beginning of my guitar journey was a guitar (Stratocaster to begin with then a Telecaster) with the name Fender on the headstock. (I didn't really care if there were other/better guitars out there).

Had the same narrow view for Martin acoustics. (All I ever wanted was a Martin and if I couldn't afford my favourite D18 then I would settle for something else more affordable again, even though there were potentially other/better guitars out there).

Maybe it's just me.

Oh it is by no means just you, there are definitely a big groups of people that are often or strictly brand oriented, for better or worse. I tend to be that way with Apple computers, and BMW Mini Coopers .

Like many boomers I grew up wishing I could afford a Martin D28 but having to settle for more budget range guitars for many many years. When I finally could afford one and set out to buy one. I started playing many but in that journey after playing probably 100 or more Martins I ended up with a Taylor 810 instead.
Then when I finally 2 years ago decided to get back into playing electric having dabbled briefly playing friends electrics in the late 60's
But that long of absence and years of life experience left me with no brand expectation or loyalty per se. And after auditioning about 15 or so Fenders, all it took was one sit down audition with my PRS CE 24 and I knew that would be my first electric and I will keep it .
Now I still am considering either an American Elite strat and or Tele, but am willing to wait to play a Silver Sky first.

I've only ever been brand orientated when it came to guitars. (I think I wanted to own a little bit of my favourite American guitar history more so than being a brand snob). Just about all my favourite guitarists played either brand guitar with a few exceptions also.

Couldn't care less about brands for anything else.

Well let clarify my "tendency" with both Apple and Mini is because of the overall quality of build, performance and use experience related to my particular wants and needs, much more so than any "Brand Name" loyalty .

Which I suppose is ultimately what led me to both PRS and Taylor.
While have definitely been a big fan of various artists and their music. I have never paid much attention to the specific tools used , nor wanted to copy or emulate their specific sound, and I do not care that much about, and have no desire own a bit of history.

They did sound different - but not more so than 3 different Fender Strats might sound. I wonder if he could have make them even more similar by slightly tweaking the EQ and gain knobs on the amp.

Near the end, the guy says something about liking the feel of the PRS. Again, there's so many different strats that have different feels. And slightly different setups. In the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

I get what you're saying Kev and you're right, there's quality to be had in certain brands.

I do believe that the PRS Silver Sky will make a lot of players really happy. I’m sure it’s a great guitar, and I might own one later. Never say never!
Which Strat did you get? Do tell...And pics or it didn't happen.

The appetizer tray actually looks quite good. And I just had dinner not so long ago.

Yeah I played my CU22 so much that the frets were gone in no time.

I guess he's a bit radioactive now but when I was a teenager the PRS poster boy was Ted Nugent.
