NUGD a special 594

[Andrew Paul]

All I can say is:

YIKES!!!!!!!

I've not seen a PRS that excited me lately. Your 594 is probably the raddest one I've see ( except the one I got for myself, lol).

Seriously, that is absolutely KILLER.

That is such a tastefully put together PS. Some just have too much going on for my taste though your new score looks amazing. Everything looks just right and "enough" extra to set it apart. That headstock (veneer, binding, tuning buttons, etc.) is incredible. This has to be one of the most impressive PS I have seen. Congrats!

Thanks!! it’s definitely a build that I like and not to over the top. Not that I wouldn’t consider one of those either lol.

When it comes to perfect cherry bursts… that one is on the list!!!

I love that that this one uses (basically) standard woods, but the absolute best examples of them. Couldn’t have spec’d it better myself!!!

Thanks!! I’m still a sucker for cherry bursts

 

[Andrew Paul]

Man I could stare at that top all day! What a killer combo of appointments, congrats on finding the one that "fits".

Thanks!! Yeah I really love the top it’s not “perfect” if you know what I mean.

 

[SinSir]

Nice score! Congrats! I'd have to agree about pattern vintage, it's the one PRS neck profile I don't really get along with..

Same here, I have a 594 soapy with an "interesting" (to me) top.
Yours is kind of mesmerizing...

Imperfectly perfect.

That is a beautiful piece! Happy that the stars (aka neck profiles) aligned with your world!! Congrats on a great score!!!

Imperfectly perfect.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!!

When I discovered the listing I called the store regarding the neck profile (carve) for this guitar, it was listed as “C”. What did that mean, could it be different than the 594 pattern vintage? Sure enough they checked the PS certificate for me and it said wide-thin.
Score! My favorite neck profiles are pattern and wide-thin. Not a huge fan of wide-fat and pattern vintage although I own/owned and play guitars with those profiles. Pattern vintage and wide-fat can fatigue my hand quicker and I always hoped PRS would produce 594’s with different neck profiles and BAM.. there it was. I moved a few of my “less played” guitars to get this one. I’ve been playing it a few days now and totally bonding with it. Neck profile reminds me of my 1990 and 91 custom 24’s.

I love the Private Stock build, flame maple neck/headstock binding is beautiful, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard/headstock-veneer/tuner buttons, figured mahogany neck, back wood is lightweight African ribbon mahogany, and a dirty looking curly maple top. Such a beautiful and great playing high end instrument. Happy days!

Nice guitar. Hard to believe but it used to be mine. Enjoy.

Congrats! Top looks like a piece from the Graveyard I run.

That's what I meant in another thread. I see you replied to it. I'm really enjoying the guitar. Thanks for breaking it in, it went to a good home I like that it was owned and played by a fellow Forum member! It's not my first

Not officially but I believe the Graveyard run was in 2016... I think?

Oh man! Congratulations! That is gorgeous and score on the neck!I am the same way, although I really prefer the thinner smaller necks. Especially the narrower nut.

Thanks! I'm really digging this neck. PRS should really consider making some runs of 594's with the pattern thin and pattern regular neck options.

I SO completely agree!

 

[aphantomvaper]

As others have said, woohoo fantastic score!

So many niceties as other have pointed out. I really like the head stock veneer and TRC, they make the fret board look like it flows through the nut! Congrats!

 

[g.wizz]

Congrats, simple looks, but darn attractive in every detail, enjoy it in good health.

 

[ScottR]

Daaaaang!!! Killer score congrats dude!

 

[Birdsofprey]

Awesome and beautiful natural wood/ Maple binding. Why anything above an SE comes with Madagascan plastic for any sort of binding is nuts ( I know cost). I also agree with the OP some of those early 90’s CU24’s are awesome as I have a few. Wide thins and no silly plastic. Beautiful guitar enjoy!

 

[ViperDoc]

YOU DAWG!!! SO MUCH YES.
