NGD: S2 594 Thinline

[yankeebulldog]

Snagged this earlier this week:

So far so good. No neck dive issues, seems just as balanced as my SAS or CU24 on the strap. The pickups are a little hotter than the 58/15 TCIs, 8.5k in the bridge, 7.9 in the neck.

Nice - I like the lighter streak in the fretboard! Happy to see the S2 McCarty’s out in the wild, enjoy!

Looks great, congrats! I love this finish, and the way the grain in the Mahogany pops through! Much better so than my S2 DC 594 with a mediocre flamed Maple top.

Cool unique Board, too!

PRS: PLEASE PLEASE release a Thinline with the Pattern Vintage Neck Carve!!

Beautiful guitar! Congrats

Bangin’!

Man... moving that pup selector really does it for me aesthetically.

Congrats! Another beauty! It is going to be tough deciding on a finish when I am ready to get a Thinline.

 

[Plugske]

Congratulations, nice looking guitar. Have fun!

Oh la la, they've done a stand out job with this! Lusty!

Congrats! Nice all hog rocker there. If it had a PV neck carve....

 

[bodia]

Damn hot! Love that board. I’d like to check on of these out.

 

[Herr Squid]

Nice! I want one.

BTW, who here remembers when NGD pix were smaller than life sized...?

 

[dmatthews]

Lovely axe, ya done good!

Probably the guys who are so old now they can’t see those small pics without glasses.

Yeah, I think that's gonna be me in about a year the way things are going. Grumble...

I like the all hog look and color but apparently it wasn’t in the budget to countersink the cavity cover.

What makes it a “thinline”, is it just the lack of a maple cap?

How are the pickups sounding? Reviews on YT and comments are reporting they’re a bit muddy compared to the 58/15LTs. It’s hard to tell if they’re praising the core model or complaining about the S2 there, since most of the reviewers already had a core 594.

In any case I’m just wondering aloud... enjoy your new guitar

How's the thin neck? I'd be all over this if it had the pattern vintage neck.

 

[Ovibos]

Seems
Great!

I haven't measured it, but it feels about the same as my Custom 24 Floyd, maybe a tad thicker due to the gloss finish vs. satin on the Cu24. Nothing you can't get used to after a few mins of playing it.
