594 Soapbar Thread

[László]

In the great tradition of MA Pete, I figured I'd start a thread for the 594 Soapy.

I've already posted an NGD thread, so I won't bother with details and pics, but I figured other 594 Soapy players would enjoy something like this, so have at it!

Mine's absolute gold. Gold, I tell you! Uh...Black Gold, that is...

MA Pete always shows pics.

He's a better man than I.

Plus his guitars are better-looking!

But here's mine, for anyone interested. It's the one on the PRS website:

So one thing I've noticed with this guitar is how it rings out so strongly acoustically. Whether that comes down to the hardware and nut, and/or other factors is something I'm not equipped to guess on; maybe it's just a really good individual guitar overall.

The note definition on chords - the "string to string" stuff - is fantastic. I've never played a guitar this well-defined. All the pitches ring out audibly.

So much so that if a string isn't in tune, you REALLY hear it. Which is great! You need an accurate tuner with a very good readout, at least with the one I have, because everything that's off is clearly audible.

This is a fantastic instrument.

That's beautiful, congratulations!

Thanks, Shawn! You probably know better than me how sweet this model is.

Thanks, Shawn! You probably know better than me how sweet this model is.

When do we get sound clips?

 

[Alan Manning]

Congratulations Les.
A Tonal Beauty that's for sure.

Did you get this from Dr. Gretz?

When do we get sound clips?

I've been messing with the amps, I tend to set them up a little differently with Soapbars. Give me a few days, and you'll have 'em.

Did you get this from Dr. Gretz?

Yes, indeed! I'm a loyal patient of Dr. Gretz!

Great idea, Les! I am it sure it will be an awesome thread.

Congrats on the NGD, it looks great!!

keep them coming boys

My question might sounds silly, I have no experience in P90's but I've heard many demos and songs,
so can the split HB on a 594 get close to P90's realm or it's a different ball game altogether?

I've been a little absent lately and missed the thread. These guitars look awesome. Both those are sweet guys. I'd love to have one someday. Ya know what else would be fun? A semi hollow 594 soapie!
