I have what seems to be a pretty noisy 594 core model, like Strat single coil noisy. Into a clean amp at any volume with the guitar wide open its super noisy. I have to roll either the volume or tone off to 3-4 to cut that noise. The noise goes away if I put my hands on any of the...

Which is it? I'm torn between my HBII and 594, the others can burn...

Well it's been ordered... you monsters have put me into yet another PRS...

I'm only 5'9" and have what I assume are proportionally sized hands (that's some good joke foundation for the forum trolls), so that's exactly my main concern. Additional question - do all of the 594s have the tummy cut? It seems subtle and from a lot of photos on Daves, eddies, wildwood, etc...

The width at the nut and body are the same on the pattern and pattern vintage - the only difference is the asymmetric cut and the vintage is only .05” thicker - can you really tell the difference in thickness? My pattern neck is about as big as I’d like - similarly my AVRI jazzmaster has the 60s...

I believe they both come with 58/15 LTs, am I wrong on that?

Yep, I'm thinking solid body 594. I love my HBII and it's been my main guitar for well over a year now, but I can't stop looking at the 594 for some reason... I do wish the HBII didn't have the plastic jack plate. For what those things fetch I'd hope they had steel plates like the rest of the...

I've been thinking about getting a wood library 594, but I already have a wood library HBII. Other than the obvious hollow body aspect, I'm wondering if there's enough difference to make it worth it. I can only assume this crowd will be more than supportive of MORE PRS, but some honest...

Thanks all - I actually had a G7th once upon a time (the 2nd gen one) and it broke after about 2 months - the little brake mechanism inside just quit on me. I went for the D'Addario NS Reflex, which also has adjustable tension etc., and although it's humongous, it works well.

I have one of those shubb steel capos which are great on most of my guitars, but even with the tension wheel let all the way out, it's still too tight on my HBII with a pattern neck, so it knocks the whole thing out of tune. Any recommendations for a capo large enough for a pattern neck?

Does anyone still paste stickers on their cases? Let’s see your cases!

I thought warranty service was already through the dealer?

Well as I much as I like that artist case the handle sheared clean off the case today. It’s about a week old and has only been carried from the living room to the music room and back... Surely this is warranty covered?

Some more photos now that it’s in and has had time to warm up in the box. Limba, maple, rosewood neck plus Brazilian board. Satin nitro. Love it! [edit] Well as soon as I figure out how to post an image that is... ha

Just got a new HBII. On all my other guitars I play with 10s with a wound G. The HBII has 11s. Do most folks keep the 11s or go to something else?
