Just closing this thread out with the "goods" which arrived this afternoon! The guitar is amazing. Though admittedly this is my 5th 594 (4th SC594), so I knew what I was getting in that department. It is lighter than my other SC594's and approaches the weight of my DC594. I only did a quick setup and detailed look over before putting it through its paces for an hour. It's a great guitar. Even as a store "demo", it is spotless.
Honestly, the thing I am most impressed with is the gold top. I have always been hesitant to get into an opaque PRS (who wants to hide the amazing tops?), but I kept coming back to this as an option when I would start thinking about an R7. The PRS gold is so much more dynamic than I expected. The big G is "flat" in comparison. This gold has many more hues depending on the angle and it really shows off the curve of the top (which gets missed in the flamed maple tops).
@Bogner you are the man! Straight talk and you got me out of my head where I was overthinking it. Simply getting the guitar I really wanted was the right move. Thank you!
@Moondog Wily I used a combination of 3, 4, 5, and 7. It worked. I got the obligatory eye roll and she just walked away. It's a win!
