It's not a private stock guitar. It's an employee guitar for being with PRS for 15 years.

Mine has the regular neck, but more than half that I saw when I was looking to buy it had the thin neck.

As others have said, it's less custom than it could be right now. I had 3 PS builds declined last year until I just gave up and ordered a custom shop strat instead. However, you never know until you ask. I went through GuitarGuitar in Newcastle and even spoke directly to Jez at PRS Europe to try...

The top on that 594HB is pretty spectacular. Looks like it says Employee Guitar on it?

I just saw that guitar on Righteous Guitars website. Yes, it's Hormigo.

Very probably. I tried to order one recently with brushstroke birds on the fingerboard and a traditional PS eagle on the headstock and was told no. And that's just a combination of existing designs, not something totally new.

Yes. But not as much as an acoustic instrument. Tone wood deniers are out there though who will tell you it makes no difference if you make an electric guitar out of aluminium or alder. Funnily enough a violin maker was telling me there are ongoing experiments with 3D printed violins, the...

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Sorry, but if you pay the money for ultra premium products, that's what you deserve. However on your other point I agree, so I said no thanks to their alternative. I want the guitar I want, not the one you're prepared to make.

At a certain price point (and certainly PS guitars are in this category), 'difficulty' becomes irrelevant. That level of quality/finish is simply what is acceptable. I've recently put forward 2 different builds for a PS quote; the first was simply a no that's impossible, the second was also a...

Black cherry is one of my favourite PRS colours, never seen a 594 in it till now, and it's very nice :)

Will add them to the list! Looks like I'll be spending a bit of extra time browsing the next time I search

I will check those two out. Thanks!
