Why does my 594 hate me then? We will apparently need to go to counseling.

I'm an owner of a lovely 2022 594 double cut. One thing I have noticed is that this guitar is a lot darker sounding that my other guitars. At first, I thought this was due to the LT pickups, so I replaced the bridge pickup with a few different pickups to see if I could get a change in tone. I...

For comparison, this is the McCarty Tobacco Sunburst:

Yes, but both of these are the basic McCarty Sunburst color. The darker one is not the Tobacco Sunburst. The Tobacco Sunburst has a darker Tobacco colored back. Both of these have the light orange back. But mainly they're both labeled the same.

I've been looking at getting a 594 and I sometimes really like the McCarty Sunburst color, but other times find it looks completely different depending on the guitar. It's either an orange-ish burst color, or just plain yellow. For instance, there's this one And then there's this one...

I ask because I recently ordered a Nick Cantenese from MusiciansFriend.com and it did not come with one. All other SE's I have ordered have come with one and if I look on any other site such as Sweetwater.com, Samash.com, GuitarCenter.com, etc... They all say they come with a gig bag. I've...

This is a 2006 Custom 24. It's been pretty heavily used. Almost all of the frets were worn, there are some chips in the finish, some minor scratches on the top and back, dings on the head stock, etc... However, it plays fantastic and still looks like a wonderful guitar. I'm considering...

I've managed to play a few PRS guitars that either had the Wide-Fat or Wide-Thin neck I wasn't a fan of either one really. I am a fan of the 60's slim taper neck on Gibson Les Pauls, however. Is the Regular Pattern-Regular neck similar to this neck shape at all?
