I LOVE that color!! I'm trying to understand the concept of a Wood Library guitar as it relates to an opaque finish. I suppose, then, that there was a special selection for the fretboard wood (i.e. Brazilian) or the neck wood?
Enjoy! Loving the 594 bright opaque finishes!!

I think in this case, it was speced as a WL run just to get a batch of custom metallic finishes although I've seen other "one offs" out in the wild that were not part of a WL run. The boards on these from Brian's are all IRW.

Going to be a fun day here on the 594 thread! 
First up - the "LT" on my pickups somehow magically turned to "TM" this week!
And the covers became a little shinier, and the Gold Slugs turned to Nickel.
WOW!! These pickups sound great in this guitar. I dig the LT's, but I had been searching for "regular" 5815's, and came across 2 sets last week and pulled the trigger on them both.
Paul was pretty proud of these 5815's when they came out in 2015:
In the video, Paul states that "the 8515's and 5815's are cleaner in the high midrange, they have less low midrange, and the bass note is a slightly different clearer but strong bass note."
Note that the Core Range for standard Humbucker guitars for 2017 has gone to all 5815's, LT's for the 594's and the Hollowbodies, and regular 5815's for the McCarty and the Santana, and the Uncovered 8515's for all the Customs.
The video also gives a brief history on the evolution over time from the 5708's to the 5909's, 5310's and 5815's. My Righteous Guitars Korina WL 594's have a 5708 in the Bridge and a 5815 LT in the Neck, and that is a GREAT combination. (The Grey BlackWL 594 is for sale now, since I somehow acquired 3 all-Korina 594's along the way here...)
I think that a 5815 LT in the Neck combined with any of the 5XXX PRS Bridge Pickups would be a great combination in any 594, as those of you who have Brian's Guitars' WL 594's with the LT in the Neck and the Uncovered 5909 in the Bridge have already discovered.
The only reason I didn't keep the LT in the Neck and just try to the "Regular" 5815 in the Bridge on the 594 Trem PS this week is because the finishes don't match on the covers.
Anyway, I am very pleased with these 5815's in the 594 Trem PS so far, and just thought I would share that!!
I can see me evolving to a collection of 594's with a mix of 5815's, 5815 LT's, 5708, 5909 etc in the bridge. Just for fun, and for an attempt at a justification at having a few.
Speaking of a collection, 18 degrees here in the Windy City today. This box came in today, but I figure it should acclimate to the indoor temperature before opening...
TO BE CONTINUED!!...

Temperature acclimation, phase two. Out of the box, but still in the case, warming up.
Also, a hint as to what it is...

I am guessing whatever it is, it's fragile.

The "Unboxing" - pretty much in sequence with how I experienced it!
This is the first Private Stock NGD, for a PS that I have personally spec'ed, in almost 2 years! I almost forgot how amazing and unique of an experience that is.
Semi-Hollow with no F-Hole. Weighs 6 pounds, 15 ounces. Sounds HUGE!!
More to follow...

The normal 58/15's are my most favorite pickups, the first time i played them i felt like crying, long road to experience pickup nirvana.
