I don't know. My McCarty gets me my Gibson vibes with additional bonuses of functionality and comfort.
I’ve put this elsewhere on the forum, but I thought it might be of interest-
12lbs of Les Paul... That thing would KILL my shoulder in less than an hour of playing.
While my I’m waiting for my Private Stock 594 to be built, I am playing a PS Paul’s guitar - I’m sorry to offend Gibson fans (and I am one - though not of the company today) but it totally destroys all my LPs on pretty much any subjective measure.
I just like Paul stuff.If more people just admitted that preferring a Les Paul was a fashion choice, I could totally stand behind that.
I agree with Les, the 594 is the closest you will get out of PRS to an LP. It is a great guitar! I found that if I roll back the volume just a bit on the 594, you can come very close to vintage LP sound on all 3 PU settings
I am not one bit surprised.If more people just admitted that preferring a Les Paul was a fashion choice, I could totally stand behind that.
If you look up comparisons and blind tests on some of the other guitar forums out there, there's enough evidence that some PRS nail the idealized sound enough for some folks to not be able to pick out which is which. Look 'em up.
nds nds aFunny that you mention this, because I have a 20th Anniversary of PS Limited from early ‘16. Essentially, it’s a Paul’s Guitar with a narrowfield middle pickup, and a thicker mahogany body with thinner maple cap.
It’s easily the most interesting guitar I own, and it certainly gets just about any tone I’d need.
That said the closest I can get to sounding like Jimmy Page on Whole Lotta Love is with the power out of phase setting and sweet-switch up on one of them – same settings on the other sound way different.
