PRS made sort of a TSO (Tele Shaped Object). Bad access to the upper frets, the pickguard looks like a roadkill Bat-Signal ( and looks cheap), and, although I usually hate the "It costs too much" comments, this is way too expensive. It hit me as I was typing this, this guitar actually looks like a First Act with bird inlays. Oh, and two high frets on a guitar in this price range? HARD pass, thanks. This was another very good review though.

@riffraff1350 Год назад

If you don't like high frets in this price range, don't get a Fender CS. They're playable but they're not always level.

@martin-1965 Год назад

@@riffraff1350 Fair point. I fix guitars for a living and am yet to have a new guitar turn up that didn't need some fret levelling no matter what the price bracket. Just a fact of the way materials settle from factory floor to delivery. Unless you buy from a local store and they do a full setup of course, but then I don't get those guitars brought to me to fix lol.

@JunkfoodZombieGuns Год назад

Oddly, the NF53 version has better upper fret access. It also has a differently shaped pick guard. This is a signature model, so we always have to take into account that the artist will make different decisions than we will. I think between the two, I'd choose the NF53.

Correct: the frets are either level, or they’re NOT. Saying there’s only 2 high frets but it’s not an issue is weird. Lower the action and there will be an issue.

Any neck pocket gap??

@donkeninitz4590 Год назад

Any new guitar can have develop a high fret or two between the time it leaves the factory until it reaches the consumer. I've owned more than 100 guitars in my 50 years of playing, and I've had plenty of new Fenders and Gibsons that have had high frets or worse (like gaping neck pockets on Fenders, even high-end ones).

That sorta surprised me, no quaestion the frets on that guitar shuld have been perfect!! Knowing it was going to be at Gearfest and players and reviewers would be all over it, find that a huge error by PRS! No matter what the price was, but for a bolt on neck at 3K that thing should have been flawless in every way (including the compound in the cavity). Have even seen new models at NAMM in the past that were 5-800 dollar import guitars, the manufactures still went over the frets with a fine tooth comb as they wanted to show the guitar at its very best. Paul must be having a fit knowing this is out there.

@_Yep_Yep_ Год назад

When it starts popping out of Indonesia, this will satisfy the value proposition. Not sure PRS nailed it at 3K+ dollars. Also does not stack up too great against the monochromatic Fenders coming from California or Fender-Japan.

@daniellowry660 Год назад

I mean yeah I've never jived with any usa or Mexican fender. There was one MIJ tele that was nice but for me I've never really clicked with fender products. I fell in love with both the Silver sky and Fiorre. Both bring a little prs DNA to the strat so I can imagine folks having similar experiences to mine and paying a premium. Folks already do that with other companies like Tom Anderson, Knaggs, and Suhr. Not sure why PRS gets so much hate for it

@eugenehavens Год назад

PRS had John Mayer selling the Silver Sky as smoothing out the rough edges of the Strat. This guitar doesn’t have star power or a killer marketing message so at $849 or $949 (by the time it comes out) this SE model isn’t likely to do anything the Starla isn’t already doing at a cheaper price point. This thing is somewhat interesting for guitar geeks like us, but I think it’s a dud.

Phil, one thing that draws my attention is that there's no shielding on the pickguard, or on the routed part in the body. I saw that in the deep dive videos on the PRS Silver sky as well. So, my question is, does PRS make such good pickups, or why do some reviwers emphasize the lack of shielding on some other budget guitars as a negative thing? Thanks!

@mortonwilson795 Год назад

The finish looks great on them. This is there one guitar that pulls off the dog hair look just right. For me if the telecaster look was the only option I would pick this because it would also have a feel that my hands are familiar with and enjoy. Fender makes a great product. I like the yjm and Hendrix models. I only like the look of their stratocasters and telecasters just aren’t me. To my hands the build and design of the neck and fretboard is just not my preference. If it was limited to just a tele design I would take this over any other tele look out there!

Hi Philip. If I sent you a guitar that I bought from Jackson (Scott Ian Red King V), could you do a video on how to fix this horrible piece of junk? Out of the box I had to level and crown the frets, then I had to replace the nut. My issue is I am having a hard time with the nut replacement. When doing a dry run with the nut, the high E and B strings keep popping out. It also seems like I cant get the neck flat at the 7th fret. Let me know if your interested or not. Thanks a bunch and love you content..

Arguably it won't win any beauty contests, great video philip. 👍

@williamsatnan4380 Год назад

I will think about buying one when they come out with a sub $800 SE version. I didn't pay $3k for my Keisel I'm sure not paying that for a production tele knockoff.

Appreciate the review Phil. I want one, just bc I always want another guitar. 😂 Having said that, the price is a bit high for me. At $2k, all day. Almost 3 tho?!… 😳

IMO I much prefer the NF53. thanks for the video.

If I had that kind of money to spend, I would just buy a Paul’s guitar. I think that’s one of the best ones they ever made.

Bring back the 'Spitz' 6 inline headstock, PRS!!!

@Metalcop5150 Год назад

ps. I wish guitar manufacturers would STOP doing this?!! A Les Paul is a Les Paul, a Tele is a Tele, a Strat is a Strat and a PRS is a PRS. There's really no need (other than a money grab) for PRS to make the Sky Strat copy or now this thing, or the Tremonti Single cut, for that matter. Same for Gibson, when they tried to dip into PRS territory with DC arch top guitars. If I wanted a Tele, I'd buy one. If I wanted a PRS, I'd buy one of those. Personally, I'd never buy another companies 'version' (copy) of someone else's guitar. But that's just me.

I like PRS, have a core Silver Sky and Hollowbody. I also love Telecasters. So I guess I’m kinda the target market for this guitar. I gotta say this one leaves me a bit cold. I’m sure it’s a great guitar. I’m not into the aesthetics or the fact the pickups are humbuckers. Appreciate that it’s perhaps more clearly it’s own thing than the Silver Sky, but I’ll be sticking to my Telecasters on this one.

I like both. Put that satin neck in the NF and your winning

Wait for the SE model.

I was blessed to see the Eat em and Smile tour. Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan wouldn’t that be a great combination. And it was. They’re doing dueling solos,frenetic energy,acrobatics tossing guitars in the air. That show they just gave you everything they possibly could from start to finish. Badassery is what you call it. Steve Vai rose to the occasion to put it lightly. They were all on Dave’s coke they had to be. It was superhero type shit

Just imagine Philip’s yearly nylon socks consumption….

The NF53 sounded a lot ballsier than the MK in the side-by-side, to my ear anyway.

@JustMe-mn5hk Год назад

Who's going to buy it? Certainly not me! But on the other hand Philip you are awesome!

@joeblankenship377 Год назад

Save your money and get Charvel So-Cal Tele. 1/3 the price, and it's got a roasted maple neck with a reverse telecaster headstock. Much cooler than a PRS neck.

@carlosmurua9946 Год назад

It doesn't have the pickups, body nor the headstock of a Tele. How come this is labeled as a "Telecaster copy"?

@carlthomas99 Год назад

Jerry Cantrell Epiphone Les Paul (both) + Jared James Nichols Epiphone Gold Glory = the cost of that. I love guitars.

@johngudgeon7454 Год назад

6K Australian dollars. I have a PRS NF3 and a Knaggs Choptank. I'd love the white doghair NF53 but with the miles kennedy wiring and neck. I'd also like a Pagani Zonda. Sigh.
