Great demo, Im looking at one tomorrw in red. The fact he pulls country tunes out of the humbucker is killer, such a versatile guitar. :) oh and the lightspeed is just killer.
I’ve had a Black Iris Fiore for over 3 weeks and I am absolutely in love. Been playing Custom 22’s, Hollowbody and McCarty for many years and man this is a breath of fresh air. It is currently around my neck at the moment. Cheers! Edit: by the way have you noticed when using the middle tone control pulled, that depending if you are on position 1 or 5, or 2 and 4, that the tone control which works changes? In other words, with middle tone pulled, in position 2, the bridge tone control affects both. But in the position 4, the middle tone affects both. Something they don’t mention in the manual I discovered.
Ok second edit. I just tried it again and position 2 they’re both working but position 4 only the middle one does. Ay yi yi! I give up! Just gonna enjoy it! 😂
@@waywardsoul4918 I don’t have much experience with a SS. In fact I’ve only held one once at a GC and I just strummed a few chords than gave it back. However with that said, I’m pretty confident that no, No way. A SS will be far more strat like than a Fiore. Especially when using the bridge pickup for obvious reasons. The Fiore isn’t really like a strat to me. It’s a super Strat. I liken it more to a Charvel or even a Jackson. The bridge pickup has a lot of output. It’s not EMG level but it’s definitely not a PAF or vintage inspired sound. The guitar sounds very modern to me.
I just tried one at the store today, and I think I like the Fiore single coils over the Silver Sky’s. The neck is chunkier than a PRS CE24, but I was surprised that the fretboard is narrower than other PRS, so I think it’s like what they call a D shape neck? Definitely feels and sounds different from my Custom 24 and Strat. Those pickup combos are killer!
Very curious bc it’s an amazing sounding and playing guitar. Perhaps bc it is too plain looking? It also had the unfortunate timing of coming out during the Silver Sky. I also think no pickguard is a very polarizing look on an S style guitar. I love it but I think it turns off people looking for a vintage vibe. I think it’s more versatile than a studio mostly bc of the pickups. The d’armond style pickups are amazing but very specific in their tone. The out of phase sounds on the studio are beautiful but not what you would normally associate with those positions. Also the mahogany body and set neck make it much warmer. Again the studio is an amazing guitar. One I hope to own one day, but the Fiore can just about slide in to any musical situation.
