    Nice review. One little comment, the silversky is not the first strat inspired PRS. It's the PRS Brent Mason (2013), a HSH strat with korina bodyand splittable humbuckers, that seems to share a lot of common points with this Fiore : very versatile and awesome sound.

    So the first couple of strums and switch changes, I went from. Ohhh… to Wow… to Geez that’s nice, to must have. Thanks. Ps… my only gripe is fret buzz, mainly when fretting the 5th and 6th strings in the middle neck…but I get it. A lot of players prefer lower action and aren’t bothered by it. I hear a ton of it on YT demos. Not being critical of you. It’s a me thing. You did stellar job of showcasing this guitar and it’s attributes. This is how to do a demo. The focus is on the guitar and you let us hear it on all settings, both clean and dirty. You didn’t make us endure needless thrashing about on the guitar. It’s so great to find guys like YOU that Get it! I subscribed… you are awesome. 👊🏼

    Actually, the PRS DC3 (3 single coils) predates the Silver Sky and is a great Strat-like guitar (contours, 5 position switch) \. Unlike the Silver Sky and Fiore, it's a 25" scale like most PRSs. I love mine but would also prefer a bridge HB so considering a Fiore.

    I also sold a Silver Sky which has been my main guitar since they first came out to buy a Fiore. I have a love hate relationship with Gibson-love the pick ups, but not so much the necks. I make due with my SG but finally sold my Les Paul due to it. That being said the Fiore is the best of both worlds in my opinion!

    Solid walk-through! I own this guitar too and I feel like you skipped 2 of the best 11 positions, which is the humbucker in parallel with middle tone pulled out too. All 3 pickups and the outside pickups sound absolutely delicious when the humbucker is in parallel. Best part of the entire guitar IMO.

  • @craigchapman6613
    @craigchapman6613 Год назад

    I've switched from a PRS Studio to the Fiore. The 85/15 humbucker in the Studio is one for he best pick ups I've played but I found the narrow field middle and neck pick ups neither here nor there in our band sound. My Carvin TLB60 (HSS Tele with Suhr pick ups) really cuts through the band sound and the snap of the ash/maple woods really fits in. The Fiore gives me the best of both guitars, with PRS' perfect construction. All the pick up positions have good uses and inspire and they all sound like they were designed to be used on the same guitar, which should be obvious but is rarely so. Great demo too

    They have other single coils that came before the Fiore and Silver Sky. The 509 is still being made and has an HSH configuration that can be straight coil split to SSS, which can be mixed up into 9 combinations (hence the 509 name).

      I have a Suhr Custom Classic HSS. Fantastic guitar. Still want to try Fiore though. Tried a Silver Sky and was extremely impressed ... but the Fiore's flatter radius, HSS and bridge are more my cup of tea. The bridge HB in parallel option is very appealing too. My Suhr is set up to split and I never use it split ... just gets too thin ... it's the only thing I would change. I have another guitar that I put Tom Anderson pickups in and set it up to allow parallel switching ... I rarely use that guitar with the pickups set in series, the parallel tone is so good.

    It sounds amazing on all the videos I've seen.. I am curious. I think the colour options are quite uninteresting for such a beautiful sounding and high priced guitar. I have a USA Tremonti and the floating trem is unbelievably stable and isn't locked, other than locking tuners. I think the fiore has a down only trem in factory set-up. I'd be really interested to know how stable the trem is in floating mode.

    All wrong sorta The first PRS all single coil guitar is Paul's version idea of how he would make a single coil single single single guitar Look up the PRS DC3 they're amazing, feels like you have lower gauge strings always on it, and the pickups are made to sound inbetween p90s singles and lipsticks and 25 and a quarter scale length That's what the Silver sky body is using too and fiore, ANDDDDD if you look hard enough you'll find that john Mayer used a DC3 for a little while before the silver sky Also theres the NF3

      I like HSS strats and PRS guitars so I can’t wait to try one. I do wish they had done a few things different aesthetically; ditch the birds, different headstock design (6 on side) and better color choices. A few opaque colors would be nice. Oh, and the gig bag at $2500 is lame. Every guitar $1500 and up should come with a HSC. I may pick one up used when they’re around $1700.

      I feel like this is a guitar that’s going to sell well, not because of the name, but because it’s a great guitar. There are a lot of people (like myself) who love the DGT but don’t really listen to David Grissom. It’s just a sick guitar! I think this will attract more than just fanboys like the silver sky does.

    • @russellzauner
      @russellzauner 3 года назад

      *A S H* Ash strats are somehow always really great sounding - this guitar and Henrik Danhage's Charvel sig, it's not a super popular body wood for treble guitars, but man it responds so well to the articulation in the upper register as well as being super harmonically rich in that zone as well. It can be overwhelming to people who aren't used to having a tool that will let them instantly flex dynamics, attack, and the sustain from hell. Why do ash instruments just suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustain? No clue, but the sustain on my ash instruments is noticeably more regenerative and stable than others, by and large. That doesn't spoil the others, it's just that when you get a shift from instrument to instrument like that you really have to have another signal chain or be able to re set it up quickly when you switch... Paul is also great at voicing pickups to meet the artist's ear, which helps make an instrument be playable as a unit and satisfying enough so you don't feel like swapping out electronics and you get the original intent and spirit of the configuration and design.
