RIP to Allman Brothers founding member and drummer, Butch Trucks. The Brothers at Fillmore East was the main reason why I started playing guitar, and later 'bucker equipped axes like our beloved PRSs'. Even Dickey and Warren played PRS from time to time.

IMO the DGT is in a way the "sleeper" of the core models as far as vintage tones go. I also tend to believe that when most players get over the stigma associated with playing prs guitars, and actually get to play a DGT, they go "wow, this is pretty cool sounding and plays great"! At least that's...

Good Morning Fellow PRS Folks. While I too over the last few months have been caught in the wave of 594 "whateveryawannacallit" (I bought 2 of "em), last nights gig brought my head down from the clouds and planted my feet firmly again in pure, unadulterated, no muss, no fuss, "Tonesville". I...

For me I only own and use an 18 watt 1974 EL 84 equipped amp (own two of the same model actually, one as a back up). I usually use the same setting all the time, and feel both the 594 and DGT fit the "vintage" tones quite nicely, moreso than any other PRS Model (IMHO). I recognize however that...

Actually I "knew" after two minutes that I was going to pull the trigger on the acquisition. I actually however played the guitar for about a half hour, and had to stop myself so I could get out the door and make the one and half hour drive home. I just couldn't stop playing the dang thing!

Hey there I own both a fab gold top DGT (I've owned about 4) and a few months ago purchased a 594. I couldn't agree more from a tonal perspective regarding the DGT evoking Allman tones at the Fillmore and the 594 sounding like Blluesbreakers Clapton. The only additional comment I'd add is that...

Hey Folks I'm wondering if any forum members have had any experiences shipping their guitar from Canada (or internationally) to the PTC for repairs/set ups/ restorations? I have a lovely 594 that I'd like to have refinished in the colour of my liking. I plan on calling directly tomorrow as I...

Here, here! This is exactly what I was thinking while reading these posts. For me, "the skies opened up" once I stopped emulating my heroes, their tones, and specific genres of music, and just focused on playing, which, dare I say, also coincided to leading me to playing pretty much exclusively...

Great choice for a "sole" guitar! I've employed one fairly exclusively for the last couple years (and intermittently since they were released), and have come to realize they're pretty versatile and have excellent, traditional sounding pickups (perhaps the "best" splits, dare I say)! I have a '13...

Within the last couple weeks I traded a Private Stock DGT straight across for a core 594 and have no regrets whatsoever, the 594 IMHO is that good! Mind you it certainly helps that I have a killer core Goldtop DGT, so it's not like I'm going without... On a side note, I also sold a Private Stock...

Is that you buddy ol pal?? RonnieD

OMG! I've owned my core 594 for almost a week now, almost fell over playing it for the first time in the store (Guitar Shop) and gigged with it last Sat! It totally delivers the goods, my best pal spent the next morning scouring online looking for one!

Hey Gang! I picked up my core 594 from the Guitar Shop yesterday! OMG it's just great!! Same colour as yours too MA Pete (Tiger Eye I believe, it's not listed but that's what it looks like to me, and it looks very similar to yours in your earlier posts). I could've played this thing all day long...

I'm scheduled to pick up a core 594 tomorrow!!! Just a question, is there anybody playing these with 11's? All my guitars (2 DGT's and a PS DC 245) have 11's, and not sure I want to go "back" to 10's, especially if the 594 is as deadly as everyone says.... RonnieDRonnieD

It's just like a new ball glove and the like for me...there's definitely a "broken in" feel the more you use a new guitar. I totally believe the more a guitar resonates from use the over all character changes for the better.
