Thanks everyone for the very kind comments!!
Very unique beauty! Love the knots and that quilt. Gratz on your creation!
Are either of your other 2 going to be singlecuts?
The 2 PS you have are just insane, I can't image what you are doing with 2 more in the oven.
Thanks, John!!
One will be a Singlecut, the other a Doublecut. I have some unique attributes beyond that to make them each unique and special, stay tuned as those come in later this year (summer timeframe)...
Oh, I'll bet you say that to all the guitars.
Well, 2 of my current collection at least!
Wow Pete!! You killed it with this one! Something about that top is VERY 3D! Not entirely sure I would have picked it from the library, but I would have regretted it!!!
And I love the resonance of a semi-hollow. Any significant change that you are aware between having and not having the f-hole?
Enjoy this one. I am certain it sounds phenomenal!

Thanks, Kevin! I am told there is a subtle difference re tone with no F-Hole. I did it more for the aesthetics of it.
The tone is AMAZING with it being Semi-Hollow! It is really terrific, my favorite DC 594 to-date, no question, re tone.
It is also about the way it feels, the way it resonates. It is mid blowing how different it feels, it is like the Semi-Hollow Body is a resonance engine, you can feel it, it sustains for days and the harmonics breakup and swirl around, with a Plexi type amp (of which I have dozens of tasty ones on my Kemper) you can hit a chord, a note, a double-stop and just listen and marvel as it sustains. It has brought some tears to my eyes in amazement in the past 24 hours.
What an experience it must be to spec your own guitar. Lovely.
It is AWESOME! And it actually gets better over time, as you get better at it, the result is better, and more personal. I think this is my eighth time doing that since 2012, if I am remembering correctly.
Wow, so awesome, where to begin?! Just so tastefully done and thought out. I don't usually like quilts - about 2% of the ones I ever see would I own. This is the best quilt I've ever seen, congrats. Frankly when I first saw your inlays when you spoke about them last year, I wasn't digging them. But now I get it, seeing the final result. It's part of what makes this look like and scream "custom". And the glow treatments - I've become a big fan. If I ever do a PS, it will be a glow of some sort. Great job, you should be really proud. I bet Paul had a smile on his face when he signed it.
Thanks!
Agree re the inlays, it makes it more unique and custom. My SC 594 has the "Blade Knots" and I feel the same way about that one too. Also the two I have in the oven also have some sort of Knots, different ones.
I am a big fan of the Glow finishes as well! My SC 594 Prototype PS is "Faded McCarty Glow", and it is very subtle and vintage, but also awesome in a PRS PS sort of way. One of my two remaining ones is a Glow finish, the other a Burst.
Pretty darn perfect. Love it. It has a super 3D top that really jumps out at you very much like the 594 trem!
I'm a little torn on the pup rings...
Pros - they perfectly match the micro burst and they are very classy
Cons - my eye tends to go to them too much, I wished they would blend in more and not distract from the AMAZING TOP! Again, I am torn....
Thanks, Brian!
No need to consider Pros and Cons. They can easily be changed. So really it is:
Pros - Having PRS select the Rings to match the Board, Headstock Veneer and Tuner buttons. (Which they did a GREAT job of!!)
Cons - None. If I get sick of them or want a more traditional look, I can easily have them swapped.
I will post more here re comments on the tone when I get more playing time. So far I am delaying this my best Doublecut 594 yet, but not yet ready to declare that it is my favorite guitar to-date, the SC 594 Prototype has held that honor since the day it arrived...
