When I grow up I want to be able to play like John Bollinger. That is all.
I would already be happy with just half of it :)
I have never heard anyone give better examples of the tones in the different pickup positions! Masterly done. 👏
Wonderful to get to hear you play. Good review as always. Thanks
Bohlinger makes everything sound AWESOME.... but as always, delivers the best gear reviews and rig rundowns on the planet
John your reviews are straight forward in demoing sounds, no fluff. Well done! 🎸
So far, it’s the best sounding review of the SE! Very, very good! The amp sounds amazing too!
Glad to hear that!
Id like buy the guitar
Always go to Premier Guitar for the good reviews, especially when John B. is playing
Damn! Best demo I’ve seen of this guitar. You rock!
Your the best John! Always look forward to your reviews. Cheers brother!
Another great Demo John by a guy who loves guitars as much as we do. At that price point I thought the tone was great! I honestly didn't expect those pickups to sound that good. For that kind of money you could drag one around in the bars and not have to worry about it.
Nice job john …
Nice to see you on RUclips…
Sweet guitar 🎸
Great demo. Love the Bonnie Raitt reference. Nice video, you rock, dude!
Dear lord, Bohlinger is PHENOMENAL, hell of a demo! 😍
Great demo!
John you're a champ,another thorough review 👍👍
John, you are simply true blue as an artist, and it shows in everything you do. No surprise that this is a terrific demo of the PRS SS SE, complete with signature John Bohlinger licks 👊🙂
thanks MattyK
Bohlinger and Premier Guitar are staples of the online music industry. Always love getting their take.
Great playing John. I really like the pick ups on this Silver Sky SE.
Best pickups I've ever owned. (Though they've never sounded THIS good.)
Top notch demo! Love that passing tribute to the "Bonnie Raitt tone" - {going back to what she learned from Mississippi Fred McDowell
& John Hurt inter alia} - man, might have to reconfigure my guitar budget for this, thanks for the tasty playing!
Great Playing John!
Really bringing out your Nashville vibe. Nice demo John. Hope to stumble into you one day in Nashvegas...
came for the Noom ad, stayed for the guitar. It coordinates nicely with what you're wearing. Maybe overalls if you demo the green one.
Great demo, John!
man that sounded great with the slide!
I just love your slide work, John. Thank you for another great review. I am now jonesing for either a Paul's Guitar or Silver Sky SE. Maybe both.
What’s a Paul’s guitar?
Great playing Jon
Very nice demo! It’ll be the best seller this year.
Love the guitar but I think I love hearing your great and soothing guitar playing even more jhon!
like how this video actually demonstrates the versatility of the guitar outside of it's "intended" genre
Great review John!
I think I’m gonna grab one in this color, as soon as I’m done watching this.
Speaking of color, I like that you’ve embraced the “Grey” on top of your head. 👍🏼 It looks good on you John. I went through the same thing and finally said, “the heck with it” I’m going natural… haha!
Thanks again John and best to you! ✌🏼
What color is this? It looks different for some reason to me
J.B. Rocks! Much love to ya!!!
You do the best demos! Playing is superb. Just find it funny so many manufacturers always try to copy the original Strat. Many thanks to Leo!!!
Even John Mayer couldn't find a decent strat made by Fender (actually a sad thing), so PRS made him better one.
@@levent. better? tell that to Clapton & Beck. and the thousands of others using Fenders. IMHO!
@@papss1950 how many Fender's have you played? I owned 5 (USA standard and deluxe models) and played at least 1000 strats. Among them only 2 were really nice. Unfortunately quality control of Fender is terrible. Even guitars has same specifications other than serial numbers produced in the same year sounds drastically different. Jeff Beck and Clapton don't do shopping like we do. We are consumers who can't have the privilege of custom shops or master builders of Fender. Our resources are very limited comparing to them. They can have a constant quality control. We can't. So stop giving extreme examples like Clapton or Beck. I like Fender of course, when I found mine I was OK after hundreds of guitars but not every Fender built equally. Now I really can't find another strat feels the same or better. So I'll buy a PRS which have a constant quality.
@@levent. Hey Levent! I've had 2. Currently just 1. The 1st was a '56 that I wish I still had. Bought it in '66 for $145. Current is a VG made in US. Both were & are awesome. You're right about many of your points. Quality control over any mass produced item always seems to suffer. I was merely trying to make the point that there are so many companies that copy the strat foundation that Leo Fender had come up with one of the best designs for electric guitar ever. And I personally am grateful to his genius. Have a great day & God Bless!
Nice work, John! Like the new camera 🎥. (Assuming it’s new…)
this is going to be my next instrument!
Nice playing, John!
This is the best I've heard John play.
Nice picking there dude. I want that baby blue!
That opening 'tune' is the new sweet child o mine! Lol
😎 Thanks Jon, PG ⚓️
Great demo John. These are gonna fly off the shelves! PRS guitars are set up so well. My satin S2 is as enjoyable and playable as my core guitars that cost 3 times as much.
They're already sold out online.
John, you sure you didn’t make a trip down to the crossroads sometime in your past, great review dude keep it up
Did you practice today?
I only trust in John Bohlinger reviews and man...this definitely sounds good! Thanks for this, just made my mind on pre-ordering one. Thank you!
Yes. Agreed 👍🏻
Brilliant guitar! Well played and demo’d 🎶👍
Good one John
Premier Guitar, you made me have to sit through a Depends Commercial for this, that ain’t right !!!
Great review. I’m happy you played styles this guitar is best for through a Fender amp because other reviews I’ve watched don’t. They also play through amps that are not typically used for a Strat style and don’t sound like this or how John Mayer sounds.
Thanks again.
Sounds good & I'm sure that the quality will be there. For 900-1000 in eu... meh but at sales period probably will be sell out. I am expecting the next runs will have alder bodies or locking tuners and Fender MIMs bump in quality. This competition is good for the players. Between the 2 MIMs have more drop-in upgrade options.
Does sound good .
I dig poplar and alder, but I think the lighter weight of polar is a big plus. Can't wait to play one.
Everyone's favourite Johns, together again.
John sounded better than the original demo 😜 Mayer would be happy ! Cant wait till I get mine , but I may build one before I get 1 , ahhh !
Great playing 👍 as usual 😀. What I wonder though, will the normal production runs you will find in the stores, have the same decent set up and finish, as the ones they send out for demo’s now ??
They will for sure!. It's a PRS thing. Comes set up great and ready to rock.
@@claypack5943 I second that: yes, it comes set up and yes, it IS a PRS thing. (And THAT is what sets PRS apart from the rest - imho)
Veryyy nice
Nice ax and playing!
I am sending message for prize
Bohlinger - You're playing has really matured over the years we have been seeing your Demos. You are in the right Gig
Poplar is a fantastic wood for guitars. Light and sounds fine
Honestly, who cares if it’s polar, maple, alder or else…
if it sounds good, it is good, even if it would be made from unicorn poop :)
@@Spidouz wood matters, poplar is bland, maple is sterile, alder or ash is it for strat tone, the rest meh. if you cant tell or dont care thats your thing, but plenty can and do. Its not all about "sounds good" it's about feel and dynamics, things you cant hear, you gotta play. Again there too tho you may not be able to tell or care, but plenty can and do. Everything matters if you can tell the diff and care. If u dont then have fun playing anything you want...you can get similar to this for $99 from china and not tell the diff between that and this guitar, so why pay more than $99? Heck get a used no name china guitar for even less. Where does it start or end? Play a composite plywood guitar then. A cardboard one, etc...hey if it sounds good to you and you cant tell or have such low bar set of standards play uni poo for real, seriously I bet someone makes a petrified cow dung body for you and everyone you cant tell and dont care
I've built a few solid body guitars from poplar. The key is to use a single piece for the body.
Nice demo, how does this guitar stack up against the 2011 fender American standard Strat that I currently have?
I own an American Performer Strat, I bought and returned the PRS SS SE, I was not that impressed, my Strat is a much nicer guitar. I have played a USA Silver Sky, there is a reason it costs more, it's a much better made guitar. I've owned PRS guitars and some PRS SE models, this one was disappointing. YMMV, try before you buy IF you can
Is the colour saturation in this video just cranked up because that blue looks completely different to the “stone blue” in all the other videos and promotions of these SE silver skies ?
They seem to have the special Sonic Baby Blue limited run 🤞
how did u get the blue colour
PRS JB model is where I'd put my money.
I'd love it if they made one with two stacked P-90s.
nice job...
Sounds really good to me. For the price you really can't go wrong.
what gauge of strings do you have on that?
Good affortable S type to go against MIM Fender,Sire and similar models from other brands out there. The JM sig in the logo is the real "bait". I think it is going to make a lot of money for PRS.
The SE Silver Sky is already a better value than the recently price-hiked Fender Player Stratocaster.
The SE Silver Sky, for the same price, comes with Rosewood (yea, Pau Ferro is not inferior, but many just prefer the Rosewood look) and a gig bag. And PRS SE usually have impeccable fretwork compared to Fender MIM lines.
And I'm not a PRS fanboy, my only electric is a Fender Player Strat.
@@Idler81643 I got my Fender Player Flame Top on sale for 699, I'm very pleased for what I got, and Mexican guitars are still very good to this day.
@@Ycjedi Yea, I got mine around the same price as well. I love my strat as well. But I'm just saying, for $850, I'd gravitate towards the SE Silver Sky. Just need to try out the 8.5" fretboard.
@@Idler81643 The price in EU is same with the high end "Players (plus)" and "Vintera" models. And for the same money I can get a really nice hand-made (in my fav speqs) S type guitar made in EU.Usually I am not a fan of sig models,no matter the brand. The SE JM looks and sounds really good but for 1000 EU there are many brands with top quality S guitars like Bacchus, Sire (a lot cheaper actually), Yamaha to name a few. So it is a hard decision. To be honest the JM "logo" is what make most of us go GAS for this one......
I bought a new Player Strat from guitar store for 750$, Silver Sky SE sells here in my country for 1250$
Cool. Does the term arm pop in or wind in?
pop
thats the stone blue? first time its ever looked blue to me
Why didn't I see this one coming??
Imagine my profound disappointment when I buy this based on this awesome demo and then realize I have a killer guitar, but still can't play.
You could do worse than find recordings in any format available of the classic blues players and see what you can learn, that's the roots of so much American music.
Every time 😭
The 2 point trem leads me to believe they're planning an se fiore next
Sounds great but I just can't get on with the inlays and headstock.
My loss I guess.
Man John should do a segment where he buys budget pawnshop gear and demos it.
Cool about time.yea
@@davidkenneth3983 Like a Top Gear budget challenge - buy a $100 guitar and mod it for a gig.
The stone blue looks different here it’s like all the colors slightly change every time you see them in different settings especially the Dragonfruit
How much did it weigh?
Nice job John…price point….PRS …has a formidable guitar here…
Is that stone blue? Pics on the PRS website looks like a sonic blue , darker comparing the way it looks in this video.
I thought the same…
I thought the same…
I actually don't like the bridge single on this guitar but I do like the next pickup lol
what color is that? The SE comes in 4 colors, but that isn't one of them?????
Looks so different from the stone blue in pictures.
Cool. Another Fender Strat copy.
Is it a satin neck?
Sounds great. That string pull between the nut and tuners is not straight though. PRS needs to fix this
How can PRS still use rosewood when Fender can't? I thought it was like a regulation.
🤑💰
Great review. And I've watched several. And John.... Quit showing off. Lol.
dude can play the guitar... kudos
I NEED BASS
Nice playing
They sure are pushing this SE everywhere..
Always trying to improve Leo's strats like everyone else.
Nice guitar tho
Is it just me or is that string line on the head stock definitely not a straight line? Seems like the strings bend off to the ruining pegs just a bit
Why am I getting Ibanez AZ ES vibe ? Oh right, the colours chosen for the launch. Gotta wonder why Ibanez with Tomo Fujita's input, and now PRS with perhaps John's gone for ... such basic colours.
Besides some confusions about various folks saying it is a light guitar, then others stating 8lbs or so.
Aside from John the other STAR here is that FENDER PRO REVERB.
Sounds as good as any Strat and looks way better with the PRS SE headstock. The only thing that lets it down is the truss rod cover but if your handy with tools you can always craft one up from a nice piece of wood. Excellent demo as it is not drenched in distortion and the quack is there in abundance.
If it had a strat headstock it would be a nice guitar
Is that the stone blue color or a custom color?
Still dont get why PRS doesnt make a Lefty Version in like the best selling RH colour for example
Paul doesn't like lefties, he called them "fickle" I don't think he'd get away with labelling any other minority in the same way, He could do a run of 1,000 lefty Silver Sky's tomorrow and every one would be ordered and paid for before they even started making them.
It’s all about business and sales… lefty players that need lefty guitars are rare, maybe just 1/10th or regular business, so it’s hard to focus production ressources for small markets. PRS is not a big company such Fender or Gibson, even if they are very popular.
@@Spidouz Not really true mate, Suhr and Anderson are far smaller than PRS and offer lefties, Also Chapman, Schecter Ibanez BC Rich ESP and G&L among many others offer lefties that are built in the same factories as PRS models that are not offered in a lefty option. It's down to Paul
Is this guitar smaller than a Strat or are your hands so darn big ??
my hands are big and clunky. Guitar is normal sized
Has anyone mentioned how untidy your pedal board is? haha 😂 Anyways let's hope they bring out a maple neck and some more colour options
Geez, even PRS didn't introduce this a minute before you John. Talk about clout!
Funny you think to yourself ehh I want the usa version but when you go to the store you play a bunch of guitars and the right one picks you.
Does anyone else think this looks way more blue than other videos?
Controversial: Out of all the unbelievable slide guitarists, Bolinger picks Bonnie Raitt for the tone description...we can at least pick a more modern slider, right?
