Beautiful guitar!
I have one spec’d the same in a different color, and it’s great.
Another new member of the 594 fraternity (and/or sorority?) - did a NGD post the other day but just saw this thread for the first time. I'm not a guy who's ever had or wanted a bunch of guitars. I've always just wanted one or maybe two that I know really well. I don't mind having two, but when I do, one of them always gets played 95 PLUS percent of the time and the other one sits there looking forlorn and my emotions get conflicted. So really, having one electric and one acoustic is my personal Nirvana. For about 30 years a Strat was my one and only, and always considered myself a single coil guy. I didn't play much for a long time, but got way back into it about a year ago and went through a number of strats and teles before settling on a strat late last Spring. But also had a tele, which never got played, which got returned in favor of an Ibanez semi-hollow and I discovered that in my older age, I'm a mellower player and hum buckers suit me better now, if I have to choose. But just recently picked up a very slightly used 594 10-top that nails the humbucker sound and more than covers my current level of single coil need. So I let the other two go and now I'm a one-electric guy again. Still in the honeymoon period, but I don't know how I'd ever get tired of this guitar. Also, as much as I love looking at many of the ornate finishes I see a lot of around here, they're just not my taste for something I'd be picking up every day, so mine is a pretty restrained tobacco burst. I lucked into finding it for a really good price (still waaaaay more than I've ever spent on a guitar). I"m loving it... Thanks to the many fine folks here for providing a warm welcome and lot's of useful information...

[/QUOTE]You call it restrained, I call it one of the best finishes I've seen on the 594. Gorgeous!

Right, as a new member of Club 594, i'm about to embark on reading through all 92 pages of this thread.........I'm going in!
Just ignore everything Pete said. He's gone back to Les Pauls.

Really?
Really?
He still has the proto sc.
Well you have to tell us the color now, what color is worthy of a special order
I was on the fence with a aquamarine blue, or Beach fade or the green,

Sad, but true (for the most part).
He even had that one on Reverb at one point, but thankfully came to his senses. Hopefully he still has the one with the cool custom burst, too. That one is way cool.
He’s got that one up for sale. I can only see what he’s selling, not buying lol

I've gone back and forth between having one electric and two. Never owned more than two, and mostly just had one. And when I've had two, I always s thought about getting back down to one and never about adding a third. So I think my stasis point is somewhere around one or 1.5. And now that I own THIS one, it's definitely gonna be one for a good long while at least.Ray, that one is absolutely classic. I love it!
I’ve gone back and forth from being a “one electric/one acoustic” guy, to having a small handful. At this point, I think I’ve reached something approaching stasis, but one just never knows! Nonetheless, it doesn’t get any more beautiful or classy than that gorgeous burst!
