PRS SE SILVER SKY £895
“A THIRD OF THE PRICE BUT FAR FROM A THIRD OF THE GUITAR”
RS has tried many times to crack the bolt-on market. Yes, there’s the CE but that’s really a bolt-on version of the Custom 24, and despite well-received attempts like the 305 and DC3 they’ve never managed to get close to a Fender-style electric that stuck around. Then along came the John Mayer Silver Sky. When it was launched four years ago, it ‘broke’ the had an opinion – and it is now up there with PRS’s best-selling designs alongside the original Custom 24 and the 594. Four years on, PRS still can’t keep up with the demand. The problem is that at £2,620 it is out of reach for many of us. Well, now we have an option: the Indonesian-made SE Silver Sky that with its included gigbag is a third of the price but far from a third of the guitar.
