    This was THE review that was the most impactful in me putting in an order for a Fiore today. It really highlighted the kind of tone that I find most pleasing, even though I thought I was going to be chasing a more typical strat and tele tones. We'll see if it winds up working out the way I hope. I really dig the more P90'ish vibe with the fatter, warmer tone with the still single coil attack and spank, and the bridge HB falls perfectly in line as well and seems like it could be my favorite HB tone so far. Much appreciated!

    Wow. Color me surprised. I’ve been looking at the Silver Sky for a while now, while the Fiore didn’t really do it for me for some reason, as I never connected to the HSS concept that much. But this thing sounds amazing in your hands! I think I actually liked the neck and 4 position better on the Fiore.
    Gets you thinking. And the red one looks tasty.... one more to put on the wish list I guess.
    At this rate I’m gonna need a larger house (not even going to think about the much larger banking account, dreams are free!)
    Thanks as always Phil for a great demo/comparison, you actually made me reevaluate my priorities!

    such different vibes. The Fiore sounds as great as I had hoped. Like, that neck/middle tone is just exactly it. The Silver Sky sounds like John Mayer's 64 strat. So if you want that, there it is. Cool variety for sure.
