I watched this video earlier today while on a break.
I discovered Wes when he was a touring guitarist for Porcupine Tree. I've seen him play with his band at a local-to-him bar in Tampa. He's currently part of Vertical Horizon - not sure if legally a full band member, or just part of the touring group.
Anyway, he's always been a PRS fan, and is one of their Official Artists. He's been playing (what he describes as) a CU22-based guitar for years, except it's a single cut, and has additional controls for the piezo trem that is installed - this was long before the P22 came out - he says he been playing it for almost 20 years, so around 2006-ish? So not really much of the CU22 left except number of frets and scale length, lol. Maybe is was originally a SC250? Or a modified Tremonti?
He also featured on the PRS video they made when they released the P22 as a core model, I believe. Ah yes, here it is, from 2013:
Anyway, he decided he wanted a sibling to that SC piezo trem guitar, and asked PRS to make him a DC594, with a piezo trem, and a different control layout (3-position toggle pickup switch is down where one of the Tone knobs would be), and maybe there is a volume knob for the piezo, which would leave just one tone and vol for the mag pups...so more like a P22, maybe. I guess you could call it a fatback P22 with a 594 scale length, I dunno.
Anyway, I like the idea of a Piezo-trem 594...maybe PRS could make that a Core model one day...
