@dmatthews You don’t happen to have one of these, too, do you? (It contains air, so approved for this thread.)

Love the background.

Man, reading back through this thread… this might be the most beautiful collection of guitars I’ve seen in one set of posts, short of the PS Friday thread from PRS. Forum members have some astounding guitars.

Sadly no. I have 2 other 594s but no semi.
Absolutely lovely.

Ok ladies and gents, please convince me on why I should consider a semi or full HB for my first Private Stock build! Lovely thread btw, all gorgeous guitars!

I thought we already did that. Just look at them!

The 594 HB was instant love the first time I played one. It has everything you want, tone, playability, etc... but the one thing that instantly won me over was the comfort. It just feels like part of your body.

Those all seem like very solid reasons to consider one. Sounds like another trip to Chuck Levin's is in order so I can strum on one. Very curious to hear the tonality difference provided vs solid body.

Are S2 SHs allowed in here?
It has a big F hole and air inside it.

I can’t make a strong argument for someone else getting a semi hollow. I like the aesthetic, but don’t feel it really does a lot for the guitar. I say that knowing some feel differently.

A hollowbody with a piezo is a very versatile guitar. I’ve said in more than one thread that everybody should have one. It’s a good candidate for PS if you don’t already have something special in mind.
