But wait... don’t watch that one, watch this one instead, it’s better than Tank Girl
No, it's $6550: https://www.chicagomusicexchange.co...4-singlecut-joe-walsh-limited-edition-1230337
And while some of us are debating whether this guitar is "worth it" or not, I'm sure all 200 will sell out in no time.
EDIT:
BTW $6550 isn't much more than a Wood Library, which you'd have to get in order to get a Brazillian board anyway. And then on top of that it has several private stock features:
- Stainless steel frets
- Vintage nitro finish
- Actual signature from Paul
Plus of course Joe's signature, which doesn't mean much to most of us but definitely means something to the intended audience for this guitar.
And I think having Joe Walsh say "This is better than anything Gibson is making." in so many words is worth a lot to PRS in terms of reputation. Some die hard LP people may give a 594 a chance as a result of this endorsement.
I'm not getting one, I don't like SS frets and I have an R9 and the 594 Graveyard already, so I'm all set. But I don't see any reason to really doubt if this guitar is "worth it". I think they would have sold out at $10k.
Indeed, it is.$6500 is super reasonable comparatively speaking
I love PRS, but this guitar makes no sense to me. Its almost exactly the same guitar as a regular 594, but supposedly like $6,000+. Why not just buy a regular 594? The only difference I can tell is the headstock and supposedly the frets, but that doesn't warrant the extra charge.
Exactly,$6500 is super reasonable comparatively speaking
Absolutely. I paid more than that for a new R9 with Brazilian fretboard a few years ago.$6500 is super reasonable comparatively speaking
Yup, and I'd even take it a step further and bet that all 200 will be pre-sold, especially in this hot guitar market. Better get your name on a list with your go-to PRS dealer toute de suite if you've gotta have one!No, it's $6550: https://www.chicagomusicexchange.co...4-singlecut-joe-walsh-limited-edition-1230337

I find it funny we're trying to justify the price.
No, $6550 is not like a 594 Wood Library, not even close. Unless:
- we mean the WL runs from stores who inflate MAP by 10-20% (yes, they do exist even on this forum).
- a WL with plain figuring top which nobody ever does, but if they did they'd be sub $5k MAP. Remember, only Joe is getting an Artist/PS grade top on his, we aren't.
Then consider that most WL don't sell at MAP but this limited edition likely will.
Overall that makes this guitar easily $2.5-3k more expensive than a comparable guitar (or a 10-top 594 wood library SC594 with BZRW fingerboard for that matter).
It may be worth the two gold sharpie signatures and SS frets to some, and that's cool.
Will it sell out ? Probably, almost everything sells out these days anyways.
Again brilliant marketing release IMO, no question about that. I can however see why some think it was a belated April's fool release.

Brazillian boards are getting quite hard to come by, even with PRS who have usually been more liberal with them than others. I just searched Reverb for "594 brazillian" and literally only one listing came up; a 2018 used wood library which is asking $4500 used. And they will probably get it.
two years ago i got a brand new $5700 MAP wood library 594 with a brazillian board for $3999. Those days are over, though.
This really isn't that unreasonable if you're actually in touch with the current market. They will all sell very fast. If they were Gibsons they would be $15k
