Seconded! What the heck are we seeing there?

Looks like a carved back, but why rabbet so deep for the cover? Looks like a thinline-style body construction of some kind with the familiar body outline. I love the top and back binding look, man. SUPER COOL! And where does all that air lead to? ... ...You guys made me go back and look. That’s interesting.

That's very cool! I'm not sure why the rabbet for the cover rest is so deep, but they can do it however they want. Might have to do that one time!It's how they make a matching back cover if you also option a carved back. Simply has to be deeper wood to match the carve. The panel itself looks really weird out of the guitar because it has a pretty complex contour carve to it.
Interestingly, I didn't know until about a year ago that you can order a carved back on any solid body PRS, not just a HBII!! Of course I immediately wanted to order everything like that, hahaha.

I hear you!! Rumour has it that my order is nearly ready for serving!!!
Wow, congrats! Sounds like one nice build! No pun intendedHunter,
Was that piezo, 58/15LT 594 HBII you posted last Friday made entirely out of East Indian rosewood? I’m not a wood expert but if that fretboard has a tree of life on it then that’s probably the guitar the team is making for me. You’re not taking that to NAMM are you?
Hey everyone, I'm on a flight tomorrow morning to NAMM so no PSF this week, but if you're following along on the PRS social media accounts I'll be posting some of the special Private Stock guitars we'll have with us at the show!
Same hereHappy Friday you bunch of wood lovers... I guess I'll look at my 594 all weekend so I'm not sad about no pics here.
