      Yes it looks more like a strat than a regular prs would but there's tonnes of companies out there that make very strat looking guitars. Suhr, Musicman, Chapman to name a few and nobody is having a go at those manufacturers. I just dont get it. Theyre all jealous if you ask me.

      When my friend and I bought our first SE PRS’s, we said it would be awesome if there would be a guitar with a strat body with prs head/neck. Guess it’s here. I would love to see these guitar specs on an core body (bolt on neck (not CE)) made out of alder with some pickguard variation similar to mira, but fitted to the core body.

  • @juggert
    @juggert 6 лет назад +61

    My two cents on the reason for the controversy. For a lot of people PRS and Paul represent a beloved guitar brand which actually went up against the big two and created something, new even if it was inspired by a Gibson junior and a Strat body. With PRS announcements it has always been what is the next big thing rather than what vintage instrument they are redoing now. Paul says it himself in the Seattle clinic he does every year. The silver sky essentially breaks that promise. And then there are those who dislike PRS. But Paul has always managed to hit the sweet spot between building a good product and a great business. He understands the potential of a signature model like this. Dont blame the. guy

    • @flekkzo
      @flekkzo 6 лет назад +10

      Ishan Roy I think you are on the money. This guitar just feels very very lazy to me. They could have made something a bit new, but this guitar is admitting that he wanted a Strat. I'm sure it's a great guitar, but finding a great guitar isn't hard.

    • @robertocorrea7491
      @robertocorrea7491 6 лет назад +4

      You are right. I also think that part of the controversy is that PRS has marketed this guitar as something completely new, when it really isn’t. Of course there are subtle differences with a strat but they don’t justify Paul marketing the product this way. I saw an interview where he made fun of the vintage fender neck that has to be removed to adjust action which I think also made many people reject this product.

    • @Vichedges
      @Vichedges 6 лет назад +1

      YOure exactly right, you just expect more from PRS than for them to copy a Strat. I mean I can’t stand how PRS guitars look. I think their fugly, but at least they are different. This is just a Fender Strat and they’re trying to convince everyone it’s something original. It’s absurd. It’s a Strat copy.

  • @joshscus
    @joshscus 6 лет назад +27

    I think for the most part, the coolest thing is that no matter who seems to play this guitar into this amp, the tone IS John Mayer. He said to Paul "Build me an amp that sounds like all of my favorite amps in one amp" and he came up with the JMOD100. The John said to Paul "Build me a guitar that's my favorite vintage instruments combined into one guitar" and Paul gives him the Silver Sky. And this video demonstrated that the Silver Sky into the JMOD100 IS John Mayer's tone. What an incredible feat and PRS nailed it.

      @dwightlewis3519 6 лет назад +56

      FretNot Music I think it mainly has to do with the fact that PRS is usually so distinctive and treated as at the same level as Gibson and Fender. They are the top 3 American brands. I think people would be just as weirded out if Fender made a Les Paul or a PRS double cut shape.

    The casual observer of Mayer wouldn’t know that he picked up the guitar because of hearing Texas flood at the age of 13. He grew up idolizing his blues heroes, namely Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, B.B. King, and Buddy Guy. He formed a band with his high school friends named Villanova Junction after the late Jimi Hendrix. He started off covering Jimi and Stevie and set out to be a blues guitarist like his heroes. I mean for god sakes his first tattoo was Stevie’s initials on his upper arm. Later on after dropping out of berklee and trying to make it on his own, he started experimenting with pop and found out that it was much easier to garner attention playing more “listenable” music for everyone. More people would without a doubt prefer listening to a pop song in this day and age then a typical blues guitar oriented song. So with that knowledge under his belt he made Room for Squares and the rest is history. Using his popularity and the platform that he created for himself after room for squares and heavier things, he began to drift back towards the music that had originally and always had inspired him as a mere teen with continuum, straight up blues. Nowadays he still hasn’t gone full on blues, but he has done numerous guitar driven performances on stage at various shows over the years, namely covers of SRV, Hendrix and Clapton. He’s done things on the where the light is live album that would blow your mind. He’s done a live blues album titled TRY that would once again show you what I’m talking about. The man has inducted SRV and Albert King into the rock and roll hall of fame because of how associated he is with them and has shared the stage with the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck among many others. There is a video interview done with Clapton that has him saying that John Mayer is a master guitarist. Not only that, Clapton has invited Mayer to his crossroads festival ever since Mayer became a popular artist. The fact that Mayer is so closely associated with blues and has never really done it full time and the fact that most people wouldn’t even know about any of what I just said above and still think he’s a great guitarist shows how talented he is. A guy like Joe Bonamassa who has based his entire career and livelihood off the Blues is not nearly as revered in the guitar community as Mayer is. John Mayer is one of the best guitarists of all time and easily the best we have today. Johns guitar tech who was also SRVs former guitar tech has stated that John is the closest thing we have to him.

    The criticism has been, lets be honest, a bit over the top. The amount of Strat copies is probably higher than the number of genuine Strats. My biggest (only) problem is the whole PR spin behind the marketing

    • @andertons
      @andertons  6 лет назад +26

      I'm not sure I've seen much "spin" - haven't they just made a guitar that John Mayer wanted?

    • @oisinmcphillips2090
      @oisinmcphillips2090 6 лет назад +3

      yes i get that its a signature, but my experience (bear in mind, my experience) with the marketing is that I've seen this pushed as a Strat, 'but better'. It might be all in my head, but that's my impression anyway.

      I was going to get in the debat and say that all those brands (plus Schecter, plus ESP/LTD/Edwards/Navigator, and so on) already do a lot of strat copies that look like more like a strat than this PRS and that in some cases are priced at as much as this PRS so why all the heat ? Can't figure this one out. My only problems with this guitar are : the fingerboard radius (I much prefer the 10" radius like on other PRS guitars) and the price... Not that it's too expensive BECAUSE FENDER DOES STRAT FOR THE SAME PRICE (and same kind of build quality) and it seems like a top quality guitar... But much in the sense "damn it I can't afford one please make a korean SE version" ;-)
      EDIT : oh and just in case, here is an example of the PRS SE EG guitar that is mentionned in the video (and I think it look kinda cool... Imagine an S2 version of this...^^) davesguitar.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/D09786C.jpg

    Listen. At some point, we need to stop thinking so much and remember the bottom line: It’s a guitar, ya plicky-pluck on it and it makes neato sounds. There are many types and kinds and options and colours and some look similar and some look wild. Forget the politics and buy whatever you enjoy playing and don’t worry so much about what it is. Just remember WHY it is. Make the music with whatever speaks to you.
    I love strats. I didn’t even know I had such a deep love for them until just a few years ago and I’ve been playing for a quarter century. I also really like John Mayer’s style of playing. I’ve never really played many PRS guitars but I know they are quite good at making quality, detailed guitars. So I see this guitar as a marriage of several great things. Why complain? If ya don’t dig it, get a genuine strat and enjoy it. Some people would appreciate this guitar for what it is too. I just don’t understand why we bitch so much Lol. More options, more guitars, different takes on classic models, it’s all awesome!! We are in the golden age of guitar options!!

    I went off Strats some years ago, couldn't get on with them, went to Telecasters. But that PRS has made me want that. No way I could afford it. But what John Mayer has done with PRS to create the type of Strat he really loves, along with some natty improvements to the design, has made me want to give the Strat another go. But PRS's take on the Strat.

  •  6 лет назад +28

    I’ve no idea why people are so “outraged” by the PRS Silver Sky and everyone avoiding the term “Strat” or Fender. PRS has a history in taking the Les Paul to a new more modern approach and they have been outrageously successful. Why not a Strat style guitar? Suhr doesn’t get the blowback PRS is getting.
    Fact is, Leo nailed it his first shot out of the box and everything since then have been variations on a theme. We have an entire industry using the term “S-type” with no blowback but come the day PRS does one, well then, it's the wrong day, the planets are not aligned, the entrails aren't favorable, we don't do STRATS!! I call BS. Good on them, go forth and serve the industry, Paul, and I think it’s great.

    Maybe it doesn't need to be said, but maybe it does: JM loves his 63 & 64 Fenders, but why take them on tour where they could be damaged or stolen? "Make me a touring guitar, Paul!" Done. If he asked Fender to do it, they'd be 4 grand minimum.

  • @yungfleip
    @yungfleip 6 лет назад +3

    Absolutely great video and I think you nailed it on the head that the "controversy" surrounding the guitar is pretty dumb. PRS didn't make a strat because they wanted to make a strat; they made a strat because John Mayer came to them and asked them to make a strat. All of the "improvements" or "changes" were because that's what John Mayer wanted. Paul might have made some suggestions here or there, but ultimately John said yeah or neah. But my God what a gorgeous sounding guitar. Though, I don't think I've ever heard Pete play a guitar and NOT think that...

      @verysillypenguin 6 лет назад +4

      well done, man has ears... however going vote the other way... og strat sounds better to me in the context of this video. going to say the prs sounds less dynamic abit more compressed with brighter pointier notes... potentailly higher output too.

    • @BAMozzy69
      @BAMozzy69 5 лет назад +2

      The PRS sounds fuller too compared to the Fender. Its got a lot more depth and low end compared to the thinner sound of the Fender. Its like listening to audio through an Soundbar compared to the flatscreen TV audio. The flatscreen sounds 'good' and more than adequate but then when you hear it through an external soundbar, you get a much fuller sound with more low end too.

    • @TheMachDisk
