Its amplified sound comes courtesy of a Fishman Sonitone Pickup system that’s been uniquely custom-voiced by Paul and the Fishman team to sound as close to a natural guitar tone as they could get. Moreover, it thickens up the mids, making the SE A20E a guitar with some serious mid-range punch. The Mahogany imparts a subtle warmth, which adds richness to the bass while slightly taming the high end. The SE A20E, which is new for 2022, is the all-mahogany version of PRS’ Angelus mid-sized acoustic. At this price, the SE Silver Sky is not just a good deal, it’s still very much the real deal. The other changes are also subtle – the locking tuners are gone, the nut is synthetic, the finish is poly rather than nitro, the fingerboard radius is slightly different, and so on – but so what? None of them detract from the sound or authenticity of this guitar. ![]() To our ears, the original versions boast a touch more clarity, but that’s about it. It's 635JM “S” pickups aren’t quite the same as the 635JM pups in the pricier Silver Sky, but they’re darned close. It’s a similar tonal story with the rest of the build. However, we don’t notice any significant difference in voicing, this is a guitar that still has that characteristic S-shape tone in spades, whatever the tonewood. The biggest change is the body material, which is now Poplar rather than Alder. John and Paul’s Fender-inspired S-shape certainly divided opinion back in 2018, but for many, the most pressing question was, ‘when are we going to see an affordable SE version?’ It’s the one the world was waiting for, an affordable version of the most controversial PRS guitar ever, finally with us. Based on one of the most controversial guitar releases of the past few decades, this S-type guitar gives you that characteristic spank and treble bite, without the hefty price tag. If you haven't got a couple of thousand in your back pocket, then the PRS SE Silver Sky offers some serious bang for those with fewer bucks. It's got a thicker-than-normal Mahogany body, with a pair of pickups that deliver powerful tones well suited to any genre of music. It combines the best of both modern and traditional, delivering a proper player's guitar that excels in a variety of styles. ![]() If money is no object, then we'd have to go for the PRS McCarty. Best PRS Guitars Amps: Guitar Player’s Choice So, without further ado, let's jump into the best PRS guitars on the market right now. We have modern classics that will rock your world, resonant acoustics that spring alive in your hands, semi-hollow guitars that will cure the blues, and signature guitars to help you achieve the tone of living legends. My other hollow body, my Gibson 325 (in my profile pic), still has 10's.No matter your playing style, or musical leaning, you'll be sure to find your next guitar among this list of versatile beauties. I'm getting close on the finger strength on the bends and very like next change I will go back up to 10's on the HB and will probably consider flat wounds. My two guitars I play the most, this one and my PRS Paul's, both have 9's now. I like them and I really don't feel there is a lot of tone drop off. But since I'm working on bending, and it seems I am playing this PRS HB more than any other guitar, the last time I had new strings put on I went with 9's, D'Addario NYXL's. All you guys have suggested, as do other sources I've read, at least 10's on a hollow body. Secondly, since it's my thread, I'll give an update. I don't remember where I read it and, let's consider the source, the interwebs. First off, regarding Billy I remember reading somewhere that he has some health issues and that is part of the reason he uses lighter strings. I think I'll likely go back to Gibson Brite Wire Nickel 10-46 next change, although I hear the DÁddario NYXL's a very good) These really arent any different than you'd use on a Les Paul I think.įor acoustic (1969 Ovation) I like the Martin Acoustic SP Bronze 11/52Īpparently Billy took the advice to heart because the inter webs say he plays 7's now.Ī couple things. Ron I'm currently using DÁddario Chrome XL Jazz Light Flat Wound 11/50 on my Godin Archtop, (11.15.22w.30.40.50 Like) and DÁddario XL Nickel Round Wound 10/46 Regular Light gauge on my Gibson ES 335. While working on bending I wanted to have something a little lighter while developing the skill and finger strength. I'm really curious because on my Strat and PRS Pauls I have gone to 9's at least temporarily. You hollowbody guys and especially PRS hollowbody guys, what strings do you use? Heavier than what you would use on a solid body? I don't remember where, not here, someone was talking about using heavier strings on a hollowbody for the tone. I have no idea what strings are on my new PRS Hollowbody. ![]()
