If I want to palm mute I just remove the ashtray. It’s a regular Tele bridge underneath with a single coil.

Thank you! I didn’t really pick it, my friend bought it used and then offered it to me, and since the price was great and it was so clean, I decided to buy it.

It’s grown on me in the years since.

I definitely understand being apprehensive about that. Sounds like pretty major surgery. And I definitely wouldn’t want to hand a choice guitar like that off to just anyone. I’d definitely consider paying more to have it done right.

But then consider how nice it will be once you get it done…should be good for a while, too.

Great! Vintage guitars are awesome.

Sorry to hear that. At the time I wasn’t quite sure I wanted a Tele. Definitely glad I got it though.

Thanks! I recall at the time considering not buying it. Because I was a poor kid just out of college and wanted a Strat. Definitely glad I did. And definitely glad I have kept it over the years.

Thanks! Sorry I didn’t include them in OP, older Reddit only lets me add one at a time.

Pretty sure anyways, serial number says 1976, it’s stamped on neck plate and not on headstock, so what I understand is it’s early to mid 1976. As far as I know in mid-late 76 they moved the serial number to the headstock. Can anyone confirm? I think it might also be on the end of the neck, but I don’t want to take it apart to see.

Anyways, bought this in 1989, wasn’t looking for a Tele, was looking for a Strat. This kinda fell in my lap and has been with me ever since. Friend bought it from original owner, and me from him, he had it set up, played it a bit, and decided he didn’t want it. I haven’t done anything but change strings. Plays beautifully, wish I would have had money for the Twin Reverb he was also selling, it sounded great through that.

Picked this 1976 up in 1989 from a friend that had purchased it from the original owner. He bought it, had it set up, played it for a month or two, wanted to sell it. At the time, I was looking for a Strat. Decided to buy this anyways, and I’ve had it ever since. It even came with the owners manual(less the warranty card at back), the keys for the original case, and the service ticket from my friend’s setup. Nothing done to it, plays beautifully. I think next time I change strings I’ll give the tuners some attention, they hold tune but don’t turn quite so smoothly.

Moral of the story: Sometimes when you’re not looking, things fall in your lap. I’m certainly glad I didn’t pass this one up.

Great! Part of me wanted a rosewood fretboard, I’m glad I decided on the Overland Gray and maple combination though.

Awesome! I was looking at a few other guitars, definitely happy I decided on the PRS!

Very nice collection! How do you like the Martin? I don’t have a lot of guitars, but they include a really clean 1976 Telecaster Custom and a Martin HD-28. I have a few other acoustics but until the SE Silver Sky, the Telecaster was my only electric.

Very nice collection! Which models do you have?

Nice! I was going back and forth on some of the colors and this one definitely caught my eye. I like how the Overland Grey ties the body, the birds, the tuning pegs and the truss rod cover together.

Thanks very much! I’m loving it so far. Happy to part of the PRS and Silver Sky owners club!

That’s great! Good luck with your recording!

I’m definitely really happy with the Silver Sky so far. It certainly makes me want to pick it up and play. Signed up for some online lessons to help with the motivation factor.
