In this video, I compare the PRS SE Silver Sky (made in Indonesia) and the USA Silver Sky (American made). I’ll share my first impressions, compare the specs—like the body wood, neck radius, and pickups—and do a tone test through my 1966 Fender Pro Reverb. Many of you asked about the differences between these two, so I hope this comparison is helpful!
Is the PRS SE Silver Sky as good as the American model? I’m putting them side-by-side to see if you can really hear the difference. We’ll look at everything from the $2,749 price tag of the USA (Core) model to the $949 SE version, and I’ll even share the story of the "Wild Blue" Silver Sky I bought without telling my wife!
Did you really hear the difference of TONE of $1800?
I would love to know your thought too! Please write your comment in the comment section. Thank you!

![Are Flat Wound Strings Actually Better?
My Thoughts on Round Wound vs Flat Wound Strings.
In this video, I compare the sound and feel of regular Round Wound strings and Flat Wound strings. I use my Ibanez AZES31 (Round Wound 10.5-48) and AZES40 (Flat Wound 10-48) to demonstrate the tonal differences across various styles, including funk, blues, and jazz.
I also share some thoughts on the importance of light touch, my favorite PICKBOY picks, and how I use my Guitar Wisdom approach—focusing on sound and intervals rather than just patterns—to improve performance.
