The anticipation for the PRS Silver Sky SE is immense. Countless leaks & pre-release videos were all over cyberspace leading up to its official release on 11/1/'22. The definite concern here is the changes in details because at this price point (USD849) some things have to be compromised.
Summary of changes
- non-locking tuners
- standard truss rod cover
- 8.5" fretboard radius
- poplar body
- 635JM 'S' pickups
- Higher output pickups (slight)
- 2-point vibrato bridge
- Covered rear cavity
- Smaller strap buttons (slight)
In true PRS SE philosophy, the colours offered for these guitars are unique to the series hence differentiating itself immediately via visual reference. I am eager to handle one in person & hear the tone in action. Hopefully, these will be here soon but might not be in time to avoid the GST hike (darn!). Factoring shipping costs into the equation, look forward to pay about SGD1.4k for one so it will be hard times for the Fender Mexican & Japanese models in terms of sales. In the mean time, this is what the endorser himself has to say about the guitar:
Update: Swee Lee Co. will be listing this for $1,049 😁

considerate of them to install 635JM 'S' pickups 👍
The 'S' version are constructed differently from the Core version. In fact, the 'S' version has components of a high output single coil but the sound very vintage / similar to the core tones. I just want to hear these in action myself.
