Correct answer….Santana first, thoughI’d get ‘em all.

I like both.Strictly humbuckers? Or do you like single coils as well?
Had a few minutes so stopped in at GC and messed with an SAS a little. Just not sure that the HSH configuration isn't a little too hard rock/metal. Thoughts?This could be a good choice. The 594 and the DGT are great guitars. Both are pretty new to the SE line as well. If I were giving you my personal preferences I would stay 594, then DGT and look hard at the new SAS. I have all of these models in core level guitars and they are all great but a little different from one another.
I completely understand this. I always thought a single coils guitar plus a humbucker guitar would kind of cover a lot of ground.My questions are an attempt to figure out your preferences in guitars to help identify which one or two may be something you will really enjoy and avoid getting something you will hate. It is really about looking at the features and specs to figure out which one fits you best.
The SAS is definitely not just a hard rock or metal guitar. There used to be a couple of guys on the old forums that loved them for jazz. I play a wide variety of music and my SAS has done it all very well. It is nice to have the in between strat type sounds along with the two humbucker guitar. The SAS does tend to be a bit brighter and snappy due to the woods. I have a couple of friends that have told me that if I ever decide to sell mine that they want a phone call from me.I like both.

Seems like back in the day, that's what there was: Fender type Single coil (incl. variants like p90s) and Gibson type HB.
My core SAS is the Swiss army knife of my guitars. Maybe more of a Leatherman since the mods.Had a few minutes so stopped in at GC and messed with an SAS a little. Just not sure that the HSH configuration isn't a little too hard rock/metal. Thoughts?

They're out there.. I've seen them even before the sale. But Daves has a tonI don’t know where you are finding those prices but yeah.
I have one. It had two or three issues as soon as I got it home. The input jack assembly had to be re-bent. It was so loose the cord almost fell out of it. There was a small dent in the backside of the body. It needed a full setup, which is not unusual with other SE models.I am so surprised no one has recommended an SE McCarty 594!
I think those would definitely cover a ton of sonic territory for you!Right now leaning towards an SE 24-08 and a Hollowbody II.

For me if I COULD do 3, at his very moment it would be (all SEs) Paul's Guitar, ZM594, Hollowbody II.That's a good place to start - but as most here will confirm, it will take a LOT of self-control (or no cash) to limit yourself to just these two, they are quite addictive and you'll always be wanting more to expand your Tonal palette.
Whether its an SAS, Silver Sky, 594 or even one of the Signature models (Myers, Holcomb, Santana etc) they'll all have their own unique sounds the Cu24-08 or HBii won't quite be able to match so it may start with 1 or 2 guitars but there is so much temptation and variety that its easy to 'justify' adding more. Don't have a 'Strat, Tele, Les Paul style, don't have a Floyd/floating/fixed bridge, Low/High output pups, 7/12 string, Baritone etc so there is always something you can use to justify buying another guitar if you want or need to...
I still think you should perhaps go through the SE models on the PRS website to get an idea of the difference in specs and/or sounds - I think they all have youtube videos demoing the guitar and all the positions to get a better idea of what they offer and/or sound like before going to a store to get a better idea of how they 'feel' to you in your hands. That's the only way to really know which guitar(s) you should buy 'first'. As its only you that will be playing, your money, you should buy what you 'prefer' - not what others prefer as their preferences could be very different to yours...
If you feel a Cu24-08 and HBii is right for you, then that is the 'best' guitars to start with - you can always add others to expand your tonal palette if/when required. Its far more important to have a guitar you want to pick up and play and only you can find that guitar...
Not At All.This sucks. If they weren't on sale, it wouldn't be so hard. Loving the SE ZM 594, too. I was trying soooo hard to be reasonable about this!
3 would be irresponsible, right?
