Follow up tone report on the 594 Semi-Hollow - WOW!! Awesome.
Best for more Vintage rock and blues tones, this sling slays for that (or cleans). When you get to the higher gain, I prefer the tone of the Solidbody 594's.
REALLY dig the middle position and blending the two pickups, that is great with all the 594's, but amazing with this Semi-Hollow.
Interesting that I have upgraded the 5815 LT's to slightly hotter PAF's (particularly for the Bridge Pickup) on some of my other 594's. Not on this one, the stock 5815 LT's sound amazing, and the Bridge one is awesome! I don't think I will ever swap pickups on this one.
SOOOOOO glad I was "brave enough" to spec a Semi-Hollow 594! I am glad that it doesn't have the F-Hole, a stealthy Semi-Hollow!!
Visually, I dig everything about it, I am so happy how everything came out, the finish, the top, those awesome Edge Knot inlays, the Microburst back, the Cocobolo Pickup rings - what a unique guitar, it feels very personal,
my special creation of my favorite model ever.
6 pounds, 15 ounces and awesome tone? Amazing!
P.S. Tonewise, does it beat the SC 594 PS prototype? And/or the 594 Trem? Not really, they are all totally amazing, in their own unique ways. I don't really have a favorite these days, which I think is really cool! Nothing has dethroned the SC 594 though, something about that one is truly magical. The SH is very close behind that, and the 594 Trem pretty close behind that, which is what I said a few weeks ago, I think. Good problems to have when picking a favorite is so difficult!
