So if you are not a fender Stratocaster follower with all the legends behind and iconic shapes, would a silver sky be a better option?

A Gibson ES335 makes a better blues guitar and the shorter scale makes easier bending. I had strats for decades but in all that time I've only tried two that were really slinky feeling and they were expensive strats that belonged to other guys.
@NeubyWanKaneuby I'm noticing a repeating pattern in this thread. Many of the guys with PRS guitars have many PRS guitars. Seems to indicate they are well loved instruments worth buying more than once. Nice guitars you have there!

my understanding is that the silver sky is supposed to be close to a vintage strat. I'm not the biggest strat guy, so I honestly can't say if that's really true or not. I do like my SS, though, so it works for me.

I like my CU24 and double cut 594 the most. The others are nice, but if I had to pare down, I'd keep those 2 and move the rest.

What do you like most about those two models? Anything specific or just two that were more magic than the others?

I love my DGT, like everything about that guitar is great, but it is not a single coil guitar. No matter what people say. single coil is a single coil and if you want that sound you need to get a guitar with those pickups. I would just imagine that the build quality os a river sky is better than a fender

They're the most comfortable to play. I don't like fighting the guitar. I already suck enough without having to work even harder.

I don't mind the sound of coil splits but I never would use them and no, they don't sound the same as a single coil. I like HB's best.
I know this sounds like some pretentious BS but the easiest playing strat I've laid hands on was a heavily relic'ed Masterbuilt. About six months ago at a jam a player I respect lended me his axe when I snapped a string. It was like playing on rubber bands. I told him those must be 9's on it and he said 11's. I asked him was he was pulling my leg but he said no, he wasn't, and he is someone I trust when it comes to gear and tone. It was actually amazing. I don't care for relics and especially not relic'ed sunbursts ala SRV but damn that thing absolutely ripped. But I don't have 10k for a Mississippi vacation shack let alone a strat, lol.

If you had to pick one of the two which one do you like the most? Or it's a tie?

The CU24 would be my favorite of the 2. Even though the necks are very different profiles, they work well for me.

I'm guessing the CU24 is wide-thin? I wanna say the couple singlecut 594's I tried were more like a classic LP shape (not a slim taper tho) but I tried a load of guitars around that time and can't recall.

CU24 is pattern thin and the 594 is pattern vintage. The vintage is fatter, but feels just as comfortable.
