PRS Silver Sky SE vs Fender Player Strat - Which is Better?

For my Presets visit: https://johnnathancordy.gumroad.com/ So this was the reason I grabbed the PRS Silver Sky SE - at the time they were announced I saw a fair bit of backlash from folks asking why would they buy the Silver Sky when the mexican player exists. Over in the UK, the question is even more relevant, given that the Silver Sky is roughly £300 more expensive than the mexican player.

As someone who has no dealings with either brand, I wanted to share the experience of playing both of these guitars and some conclusions that may or may not help you make your choice....

The preset I'm using here is "Divdedby13" for the cleans "EricLead" for the drive stuff, and I'm using a Two Rock Traditional Clean for the just guitar parts.
