Great video, man! Gotta say, I love how involved you always are with the groove, really passes on the feeling of the room. Keep up the good work! cheers from Brazil.
Always tune in to hear that zany Canadian lay it down! hehe God I love that Suhr PT model.......Maybe someday I'll have the coin to spare for one of those beauties.......
Thanks for the video. I'd be happy with either of those guitars. Although they're quite different, they have common ground in that they can cover lots of different styles of music, though the PT would be better for heavier stuff, while the SS does those iconic Strat sounds very well.
I have to say I hate the tone of the Suhr in this jam -- tinny and fizzy. I'm sure it's the amp settings, as we've all heard it sound great other times. The Silver Sky sounded great.
Agreed. I've seen Pete play his signature model in a bunch of videos and it has always sounded great... here it sounds just awful, almost as though it was an amp sim but without the cabinet sim.
Marc Cote Honestly every clip I have heard of these amps being played at Guitcon has not been good, in my opinion. The one Pete was playing through seems the better of the two but I don't think either sounded very good. I wouldn' blame the guitars for that one.
Oh, I'm not blaming the guitars! It might be the amps, it could be that whoever dialed in the tone is incompetent. Or deaf. Or it could be a recording issue. GuitCon has not had what I would consider stellar recording gear. At least, not this year.
I actually think the room mic wasn't doing anyone justice. I've heard Pete in many of his live streams, and his voice usually sounds much different. I agree that tone-wise the SS sounded much better here. I'm willing to bet both guitars sounded better in the room.
no they make ridiculously expensive guitars. I had a suhr and it was not a wooooow guitar by far. it was good but not great. for almost 4k you could get way waaaay better guitars.
@@nicky91guitar How was the quality compared to higher end production stuff like Music Man/G&L/PRS/etc? I'm curious since I never tried one, only Tom Anderson.
@@MaestroJericho Music Man electronics fail quite often, and they are proprietary, when they fail you're screwed; also Music Man necks also are quite problematic, just search around. PRS guitars are awesome. I had 3 Music Man in the past (I had problem with them all), and 1 PRS Custom 24 which was awesome. Today I have one Suhr Modern, and it's the most perfect fretwork I've ever seen... construction is simply flawless, like no other... I only play my Suhr these days.
@@nicky91guitar I think you get what you pay for. Meticulously built from the best materials. Superb fret jobs etc. What alternatives you thinking for the money?
@@MaestroJericho the one I had(modern pro charcoal web) was on the same level as a Ibanez rg Prestige. I have had ESP´s that were way better made. Even the musicman Luke was nicer. I´ve had even prestiges that were better... but Suhr stepped up their game. I had an old one. Last week there was someone at my house with a Suhr (vintage strat hss) god that thing was incredible!
I was initially surprised and pessimistic about the radius then I found out the Gilmour Strat’s got something like 7” radius and so the Silver Sky is relatively flat compared to that. Gilmour must have some serious killer setup to make a 7” work.
+Drew Barries ive got a 7,15" telecaster and even do with a good set up can play decent i mutch prefer 12" of Gibsons. personally i think fender need to update their game. Even 9,5" kind of sucks in my opinion and thats what all Fenders have now a days
The Suhr Classic Pro / S gives you silent circuitry, choice of a rosewood or maple board, choice of SSS or HSS pickups, the beveled heel and chamfered lower horn, a 2 point vibrato bridge, and more color choices than the Silver Sky, all for less money. Why? Because you don't have to pay royaltie$ to the 'celebrity endor$er'.
This was fun! Thanks for hanging with me, I'm glad I got the chance to check out the PRS and talk geetar with you!
I'm Obsessed With Petes guitar playing
Great video, man! Gotta say, I love how involved you always are with the groove, really passes on the feeling of the room. Keep up the good work! cheers from Brazil.
Nice video. But the amp's tone is pretty bad... Especially on the Suhr guitar....
Great video gents!
A white PRS Silver Sky and gold top Suhr Pete Thorn are on my bucket list!
Always tune in to hear that zany Canadian lay it down! hehe God I love that Suhr PT model.......Maybe someday I'll have the coin to spare for one of those beauties.......
That ThornBucker on the brige sounds good !
And I'm a neck pickup guy...

Pete thorn knows great tone. This is the amp/settings for sure.
Is the Silver Sky any fun to play???
suhr makes a ridiculously good guitar

At the very beginning of the video did he have to tell Pete what key he was playing in?
I want the locking bridge, when and where can I get one?
Wonderful stuff. Great talent and superb instruments.

Dude. Didn't know that!
Guitargate www.fendercustomshop.com/series/artist/david-gilmour-signature-stratocaster-nos-maple-fingerboard-black/
the silver sky has 7,15 so is practicañly the same as gilmours...
Dani West oh wow, For some reason I thought The SS was like 9”. I guess if it can be set up to play without issues then that’s great.

Pete why didn't you just put a single coil in the middle to cover all the bases?
This video was reasonably entertaining
This is like an anti-H&K ad. Same settings make the Suhr sound fizzy and thin and the dark and wholly.
I want that natural finish Supro hanging on the wall!
Thanks Pete! Here's the vid I referred to regarding the Thornbucker, etc: th-cam.com/video/krBzlrVSmEI/w-d-xo.html
Great video!
Nice guitars...you guys sound great together
If the PRS had a 9.5 radius and bigger frets, I’d have bought it.
please dont say "spunk" .. just means something so different in the uk
It means that here too :)
Buzzzzzzzzzzzz
Yeah the guitcon sound wasn't perfect.. but we had a lot of fun!
Amazing how Harley Benton make a guitar that looks the same at that shur
Wonder if Harley Benton will make a prs silver sky ? Think it’s the only one they haven’t copied yet ..😉
Looks doesn't make you play better, good guitars are the sum of all the parts, including the manufacturing
Bad sounds !!!!

These are all true except that for prs quality level youre still paying 2000-2500 from suhr too. about the same as the silver sky
Suhr sounds like garbage
