We still get the exact same pickup selections on the five-way pickup selector as the time-honoured Strat: the centre control (tone 1) works on both the neck and middle pickups the lower control (tone 2) is solely for the bridge pickup. The pickup selector switch cap is a redesign but barely affects anything. We get proprietary control knobs very much in original Strat style with the exception of their missing function legends – PRS assumes you know your volume from your tones! One of the updates on the USA Silver Sky is its rather beautiful moulded output jack dish and the exact same part is used here.įrom here on in, though, there’s little that PRS has brought, visually, to the table. In fact, as PRS’s Jack Higginbotham tells us, this all-steel design came first. Rather than cloning the Silver Sky’s six-post vibrato, here we have what is essentially the two-post vibrato we’ve already seen on PRS’s Fiore. No, it’s not real bone like the USA models, it’s a synthetic bone – the formulation of which was carefully chosen by PRS – and is cut superbly and certainly doesn’t impair the vibrato. The nut looks oversized for the style, but this is PRS and there’s a reason: it sounds better.
