Hamfisted String Banger
I am working on a spec to order an artist SC594. While I like the vintage vibe, I am more of a modern player. I will likely use the guitar more for classic rock, blues and a bit of modern rock, plus maybe some jazz, or at least jazz-y stuff, probably in roughly that order.
I think that the 58/15LT is likely to be a bit anemic for my tastes. I suspect I'd want either 58/15 or 85/15 (though I wish 85/15 could come covered).
I don't like SC245 (too anemic) or SC250/Tremonti (WAY too much output and trebly at the bridge).
I love BKP Cold Sweats (strong output but not too much, good bite, but also balanced), but would like to see what PRS has in that neighborhood, or maybe a touch less aggressive.
I'd like a full tone that has lots of character, but not so much that it turns to mud with crunch or is unuseable with high gain.
I'm also open to other suggestions, though the guitar will obviously ship with PRS pickups, so I'm only interested in what they can put in it.
EDIT: OK, I'll throw 57/08 and 59/09 into the mix, but 59/09 only comes uncovered, for what that's worth.
