Not sponsored. Just still a fan of this guitar! x
Lots of fellow guitarists appreciate your opinion.
I do like PRS guitars.. However, I feel that the Gibson Les-Paul has a superior action and tonal quality. Mary, You are a superb artist. I feel if you really gave the 1957 reissue Gibson Les-Paul a chance, it would unlock your inner soul.
@@markjarrett6587 Ya know Mark, I do both, I have a wonderful Les Paul Custom and a 15 year-old SG '61 reissue, and they both play wonderfully and sound great. But someone asked me, if I was to endorse any guitar-builder, who would it be and I had to admit it would be PRS. I don't think anyone outside of maybe the really expensive boutiques are making better playing and sounding guitars. They look nice, too.
I love the European music scene. Seems like so much of it is interconnected. Lots of the youtubers all know each other. Feels like family!
I had the same issue with the switch blade tip. I wrote to PRS support and they sent me a new set of plastic parts, free of charge. Outstanding support. Maybe the initial run had those issues, but I was not expecting that from PRS.
Keep on talking, Mary. Your voice is incredible, you should do audio books.

Lmao 😂 the replies to this comment are gold
Wtf
I LOVE this video. It’s so well put together and sounds amazing. 🖤
So many of you RUclipsrs have been such a great help to me with regards to so many different musical aspects including finding multiple means to make a living with music. Im almost ready to take my leap to be my own boss and put 100% of my energy into what I love. Thank you for being an inspiration.
I was thinking how pleasant this video is in production and information, and then I was reading the comments... and I see so many people think the same thing! You are awesome. Looking forward to watching more and more of your stuff. I love my Silver Sky. Never played a strat. Les Paul only for 25 years, so this is really an incredible ear-opening time for me. Loving it!
It's so good to hear from you. Thank you for your efforts.
Great authentic review... nice to hear the suggested improvements at the end. Looking forward to your new song!
Mary's speaking voice, singing voice, guitar playing & eyes are equally hypnotic.
Great video.

Your voice is so soothing... it’s the first guitar review that made me relax and enjoy the details instead of agitated.
Love and respect you Mary Spender. Your finger picking is awesome. Just love watching an awesome guitarist.
Great review! And also, your talking voice has the most relaxing, smooth quality to it, I could just listen to you talk.
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and opinions based on other musician's questions, it was really interesting and well discussed, your comments where very informational and I am starting to fall in love with you musicwise♥, you have a pure passion for music and the things that surrounds it that you closely observes. keep it up Mary, more power to you and to your channel.
Very informative video. Gave me lots of info on guitar in general
This whole video is soooooo soothing! Your voice, the melody in the back....
Thank you Mary! I dig your content and reviews
Thanks for a classy presentation. Subscribed.
I see you’re doing the anti clickbait thumbnails like Adam Neely
Yesss. Please Mary keep doing this
How is this an "anti clickbait thumbnail"? She is just not going with the trend of Corona yellow.
It's an anti click bait thumbnail because it literally replies to the question asked in the title. Check out Adam Neely's videos to see more examples
MarcoPinn thank you for having a brain and understanding the comment.
MarcoPinn I’m not sure if an open ended question without an answer in a thumbnail is considered clickbait. Clickbait is getting someone to view based on a false thumbnail.
For example have you ever seen an animal attack video where a thumbnail has blood everywhere and two animals are photoshopped to look like they’re fighting - and the video has 15M views? Then the video is a pretty standard animal posturing fight?
Weird example, I know. But if she left the answer out of the thumbnail she would definitely still be reviewing and talking about the PRS SS...
Thank you for these great videos , I literally love ❤️ everything about you.
Beautiful vibes!!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Subbed. A great review/re-evaluation of the guitar. Love your content!
Great video...I've been on the fence about this guitar, I've played one at a store and liked it. just need to muster up the confidence and get one; just keep going back and forth about getting it because I have a strat that I really like. your honest and faithful review is helping to convince me. and really inspired music! Thanks Mary and all the best in your endeavors.
Very informative video. Just have to say....absolutely LOVE the color grading of this video. Very nice.
Great video Mary. Great music! Beautiful tones I love PRS guitars. I have a SE 277 myself with Soapbars. Cheers!
Always enjoy your videos. Thank you
Thnx from holland! I always like ur videos!
Thank you, Mary, that was insightful. ❤️
Loved it Ms Mary Spender.
Mary, you are a very awesome person. Thank you for sharing your skills and perspective. :)
Thank you Mary for your perspective on the Silver Sky. Love your music. I hope someday to be able to see you play live in Texas. I hope you are fairing well through these strange times. 🤠🎸
This video was so relaxing with the guitar in the background.
Great Job Mary! Enjoyed your thoughts. I think it’s an excellent guitar.
I saw your viola video. You are very intelligent and smart musically. Great to see. Love your smile and great diction. Good playing and God bless you 😇❤️.
The first guitar I remember picking up in a music store as an adult was, oddly enough, a PRS Artist model, way back in 1990. I was a novice guitarist, but my father had played for years, and I was in the process of switching from keyboards to guitars in my band. My father actually offered to buy the PRS for me, but I deferred, unable to justify the expense (at the time ~$1500) when I was, after all, but a novice. He ended up buying me an amp, instead, and I borrowed a guitar from him. A year later, I bought myself a brand new Rickenbacker 330 that is still my main guitar, today, 29 years later.
But that PRS has always stuck in my mind. It was so comfortable, that I felt like the guitar could actually play itself. 30 years later, I still do not actually own a PRS, but I hope that someday I will. Whenever I happen to be in a music shop, I cannot resist trying out a PRS, if they have one. Stars know I've spent enough money on music gear over the past three decades that I should have bought one by now!
PRS Guitars makes without a doubt, some of the finest electric guitars that have ever been made, and my favorites are not the outrageously expensive models, but the more plebian, the CE22 is actually my favorite of them all. They will always be a good investment, and always be desirable. They really are that good.
Thank you, Mary, for your honest review of this beautiful PRS Silver Sky.
Great vid Mary. John is certainly a master of the guitar. And you are also quite an accomplished musician!
Hi Mary, great video. I just ordered a maple SS in Polar Blue (I love your Dodgem Blue). Glad to hear you still love it. I can’t wait to get mine.
Nice tune at the end! Good stuff!
Love your videos Mary!
Thanks for a calm, well-reasoned explanation/review. I'm a PR$S guy so I'm always inclined that way but it's nice to hear someone who's not raging pro or con. Glad you like the SS.
Glad to see an artist I admire rocking the Colour Box v2. I love mine.
Just discovered your channel, it’s great by the way, I have PRS guitars and they are amazing but recently I have discovered Gordon-Smith guitars and thy are another level
Absolutely love the honest review. Parts make up the whole, and I bet PRS (himself) is listening.
I think it's fantastic your knowledge now is off The Charts when it comes to technical equipment as well as being a fantastic songwriter and singer.....Cheers Phil from Newark
Happy Birthday Mary!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I'd be interested in trying the Silver Sky, as Mary described this as I imagined it, a very refined strat. I have played everything from mim strats to ultras I see the silver sky as being one step above. I can't wait to get my hands on one.
Thank you. Sincerely. Very much. New to your Channel. Thank you.
Hey Mary, Vigier player here too.
About the tross rod cover, I had the same problem with my PRS (yes i had one too), a rubber washer will sort it out for good.
Best of luck to you.
Thanks for this review.
Great sounding pup/s.
New fan! Subscribed. :)
I have PRS SE standard 24 and it’s a joy to play there’s something about the neck that just makes it feel great and makes playing feel easier
I love you Mary Spender. Think you are freaking awesome!
Just got one for my daughters B day on Christmas Eve but snuck a few goes. It’s incredible
Beautiful! The guitar and you.
Well done Mary, sounds good too.
As a guitarist for almost 2 years, I consider that John Mayer's tone is the perfect one, and I think that the Silversky and the SE is a great strat alternative to get as close as his tone.
Another gr8 content...I love it.
Hi, love this vid and love John Mayer's silver sky! Regarding the birds inlays though, the silver sky's 22nd fret is not an owl, it's a hawk landing. You can only see the owl in a branch inlay on 24 fret models :)
Huge fan of your channel, your music, and Strats and general. I would say, I hope you do eventually experiment with the vibrato bar. I think with your beautiful reverby arpeggios, it would sound haunting or ethereal. Especially if you were to, for example, end a passage my resolving to the tonic, but then using the bar to drop the chord down a semitone to a major 7th, or something like that. Great video and cheers from Alabama!
Haven’t seen you in awhile, sure enjoyed this
I clicked for the guitar... got Mary.
Works for me.
(Loved the song at the end)
Nice. I really want to try play one!
Nice review. I love my White Frost Silver Sky. The only thing i'd love from PRS is having more possibilities to customize the guitar. Different pickguard, pickup covers, tuners like you said, knobs and switch.
Very nice review. I loved the light weight and chunky neck that were on the ones ive tried. I was also kinda puzzled by the plastic tuning keys and cheap feeling knobs and switch. Easy fixes though.
Mary youre awesome!
I love the newish maple neck midnight rose version of the silver sky, gorgeous guitar...
very informative I am actually considering to purchase this model.
Very comprehensive analyses. I’m guessing when they went production they made a few cost cutting decisions ie machine heads etc. Interesting stuff. Well done.
Nice review. I'm had a couple of strats in the past and I'm not fan, but I liked how you parsed all the details and explained why the Silver Sky is a good choice for you. Currently I like the PRS Custom 24 SE with the wide/thin neck. Perhaps you could review that model sometime?
i have the Sylver sky since 1 year , i love this guitar so much. My switch crack too , exactly like yours...
Fantastic video as always Mary, I think the comment about consistency is very important with older companies that change processes, models and partners that make parts, factories, etc. You definitely need to do your homework to find the right model, size, fit and finish (looks count) that you want while new guitars are mostly consistent.
soothing voice!
Cool channel Mary! I welcome myself to this channel.
Hello from Kentucky! Hope you're well!
Playing a 7.25 radius neck drastically improved my bending consistency and stability but I also noticed that having such a rounded radius requires a precision fret level as well as a very good fret finish, or you'll end up choking out note bends. I've only ever played a Silversky once, unplugged, but it's easy to tell that they made sure to get that 100% right. I currently own two strats, a vintage competition mustang, a jazzmaster, and Jaguar - all with the 7.25 neck. It's become something of a staple in my playing now. I don't have any trouble with other radius' (radii?) but it's definitely become a very specific preference when looking for a guitar though certainly not a deal breaker.
Excellent review. I love your style of production. Funny thing, my blade selector switch cracked too and I'm quite delicate with my guitars too. At the time they didn't offer it on their site and I'm unsure if they do now. I reached out to PRS and they replaced it no hassle and for free.
Wonderful video Mary! Could you do one on your Orange Rocker 15 Terror? I watched the video you are featured in on Sweetwater and really liked the sounds coming out of that amp. I also watched your first look video and would love if you did an in depth video. Glad you enjoy your Silver Sky!!
I got a Silver Sky within a similar production batch as yours and my Pick Up Selector Switch Cap broke off. They had a casting issue with the plastic on some of the first ones. I emailed PRS and they shipped me a new Selector Cap immediately!
thanks for the good video. as soon as prs changes the tuner from grey plastic to something nice i buy one. i like prs and have two others.
Hopefully we will be hearing a lot more of this blue PRS as it is a nice sonic change from that sea foam green one.
Yes, I also had the plastic switch knob (what to call that damn thing!?) break on mine as well. I've since replaced it with a boring Fender one since that was easily available to me from Thomann. That said, it is still absolutely to coolest guitar. The more I play it, the more I just love it. Great video. I'm right there with you on all points. Keep it up!
PRSpend more on tuning knobs.
Love the look of the body/neck.
Nice vid Mary :)
Have a silver sky myself and love it...couldn’t agree more about the tuners though! What were they thinking?!?! Love your work by the way.x
Good job!
I've had mine over a year and still love mine. play it every day! =)
Great review , very honest . Silver sky looks great
thx, that was well done Mary. What strings are you using? your tone seems warm which is nice
True story! A friend of mine very kindly let me try his as he has lots of PRS guitars but I've always liked the balance and feel of a strat body. He did say it was controversial, but to me all that matters is how the guitar plays and sounds and I really liked it!
Great video!
Mary Spender - "Back on Land"
Cory Wong - "Friends at Sea"
can there be a colab PLEASE!!!
haha!
Whose Cory Wong?
@@Sig721Tau Solo artist and guitarist for Vulfpeck. Look him and Vulf up here on RUclips
Now that is a name I like to here
Still yet to get my hands on one to try. I love my custom 24 and have a tele but very tempted by this or maybe an archtop. Who knows. Great video. Would love to interview you on my guitar show if that's a possibility. I do love the colour of that version too. Only just found your channel. Great to see another English in the online guitar world.
I believe that PRS guitars carry a lifetime warranty, so I'd contact them about your issues you've been having. I met Paul a few years ago and he signed my scratch plate. Such a passionate and infectious guy to talk to.
Take it easy. Thanks for the video!!
You deserve all of the subscribers in the world.
You use the JHS Color Box?! God, I love that thing. I don't use it as much with my Boogie because it has pre-amp EQ and 5-band power-amp EQ (so lots of tone shaping built into the amp), but man is that a great device. Wonderful for doing the solo to "Easy Like Sunday Morning", also.
And I still love my Silver Sky too, I have the red one, myself. They're just so ridiculously well-built.
Thanks for the information🙏
I used to had few fenders gits when i had the money,but when i lost the money,i lost the guitars.
However.
I got 3 Squier Fender Strats/2 Bullets and one Affinity and they better than all the other that i had before.The only weak point is the tuners of the Bullets while the Affinity has solid ones.
However.Nice Gits,they sound great and the necks are so fine that it feels like butter.
Honest review - straight to the point. Thank you. Bought a PRS SE Pauls guitar about a year ago. Great guitar but like the Silver Sky, the tuners are cheap looking plastics! Pity.
Mary Spender you are an incredible musician and well composed in both your music singing and behind the camera your gaze is alluring and engaging and you are intoxicatingly talented if you find yourself in the states in particular Oregon and your doing any music clinics or any shows I’d very much enjoy community connection and to pick your brain and hold your gaze…. Cheers Mary Spender you are one of one and there will never be another like you and there has never been one before you I don’t know you but I’m proud of you and have a heart after your heart… stay sharp keep your tact and shred the track
🤘🐑🤘
Yours truly,
J the H
Found this really helpful. I have had lots of S type guitars, and the main problem I've always found was in my head as come resale time people don't know what the brand is and it didn't say Fender on the head-stock. However, when it says PRS that is regarded as Custom Shop quality, but in my experience PRS are better. Saving up for the next limited edition color - this is all that that is stopping me!
I got a dodgem blue when it came out too! The switch tips breaking is very common, and mine did too. My dealer gave me a new one and it doesn't show any signs of cracking.The numbers on the knobs rub off really easily too, but again, my dealer got me some new ones from PRS. I haven't put them on yet, so no clue if those have been improved. The pickguard yellowed really quickly on mine (way yellower than my '93 japanese strat), so I got a replacement from MojoAxe. PRS work magic with woods, but I guess have neglected their plastics...?
For what it's worth, this is still the best 'strat' I've ever played.
That is a great tune !
My switch tip broke too it's common for these. You're right about the tuners as well. As it's a premium priced guitar it should come with a hard case, my Fender American Elite had an SKB style case as standard and it was considerably cheaper. Don't like the fret wire on the SS too narrow for me so gonna refret it with bigger wire. Nice review, thank you
