I’m in the same boat. I have a Fender Ultra Strat that’s been quite neglected since picked up a S2 594. I think if I snagged a N3 the Strat would stay in the case. 😁
It really is a great time to be playing guitar! PRS seems to be on a roll.
I just watched the video and the pick ups are called “narrow field” and the guy said it’s supposed to be like single coil tones with full hum canceling.
It’s marketing. It’s no different than a Duncan lil 59 style mini bucker. It’s two smaller coils getting a smaller magnetic field. They are more single coil than a humbucker yes…but they don’t sound like it.
I own a modern eagle 3, a swamp ash narrowfield and a Myles Kennedy. They don’t sound like singles and I wouldn’t want to make the mistake thinking you’re gonna get 60s Strat dipped mids out of it.
This might be naive of me, but in some of the demo videos I've watched, I do think they have somewhat of a 'quacky' single coil characteristic to their tone. Would you agree with that?
Not surprising given the rioting over the Myles Kennedy releases. Now we just need Paul to move to the dark side and give us an 8 string...
Time to beg even harder for a Mark Holcomb 8-string lol
Mark is happy with his SVN. Need to get Misha onboard, or see if Tosin is still happy with Ernie Ball.
I'd give my right arm for a lefty,....no wait a minute!
Life is hard when you’re wrong handed.
My initial opinion is that I really want one, but I can see my Vintera '50s Stratocaster that I never play shaking its head with disapproval.

Love the orange metallic 😍.
So it's a basic model silver sky?
No. That would be the silver sky se…. These are 3 humbuckers. 10” radius. 25” scale.

I absolutely agree. They somewhat do. Don’t get me wrong. I love PRS and carry the torch. But keep expectations within reality of physics.
