Please only contribute if you have had a chance to play both. Trying to keep the thread clean. Thanks!
I am currently considering getting a 594. I love the feel and overall warmer tone of shorter scale guitars but have struggled with how bassy/muddy the neck pickup can sound. For reference I had an S2 with a SD 59/custom hybrid in the bridge (which I loved) and a 59 in the neck which was exactly what I described above. It sounds like the 58/15LTs are great and don't suffer from this issue.
However, I am torn between a solid body and semi-hollow. From what I have gathered by reading online and watching videos is the semi-hollow sounds more full, dynamic and expressive. Is the semi-hollow as articulate in the neck position or does it get bassy/muddy? How would you describe the tonal differences when it comes to warmth, dynamics, articulation/clarity and other intangibles?
Thanks again for the help!
