Not sure about the 245, but the 594 is not.Are the 245 and 594 models, weight relieved?
Early 245's with the wrap around tail piece were weight relieved.Are the 245 and 594 models, weight relieved?
I thought the 594 is 2.6 which is shorter and I don't know of any Gibsons with a 2.45 scale. Mine are all 2.75.The SC 594 is the Gibson scale length. 24.5 is the other sometimes Gibson scale length.
Paul came up with the 24.5 thing (again, since it was previously used before the SC came out) based on a particularly sweet 50’s LP he had, or at least that was what he said about it at the time the 245 came out.I thought the 594 is 2.6 which is shorter and I don't know of any Gibsons with a 2.45 scale. Mine are all 2.75.
Dude, they’re super fun! Maybe grab a used SE 245 just to try out the scale length? Then just sell it if you decide it’s not for you, those things cost like, a tank of gas for a pickup truck these days.Hehehe....
I agree. A bigger difference is Gibson LP to strat but my LP to PRS SC250 is minor.
That said, a really short scale of 2.45 could be fun for tight chords and fast runs.
I would just need heavy arse strings!
594 seems sweet.With regards to the Tremonti, it is available in both a tremolo and fixed bridge version. If you are not a tremolo player (neither am I) it may be worth checking out the fixed bridge version. Fluff (Riffs, beards, and gear on Youtube) has a few videos where he compared his SC 594 to a Gibson Les Paul and then a newer video where he went through his Tremonti (w/tremolo) and talked through the differences. That may be a good place to start.
My SC594 is tuned to D standard and an amazingly versatile instrument, as is my DC 594. Both of them are able to cover the full range (my range be a bit narrow for some of the more skilled players on these forums) of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Nirvana, Bad Religion, Deftones, and Mastadon. I originally looked at the Tremonti, but opted for the SC594 because I did not need the higher output pick-ups nor did I have an issue with the 594's thicker neck. It is also a little cheaper.
You also asked about push/pull and yes both the 594 and SC594 have push/pull on the tone pots.

You play those heavy bands with stock pickups? What are the pups again? Alnico II?
I prefer a one piece bridge and not a two piece. I hear guys say the one piece bridge guitars sound fatter or bigger? Then I hear the opposite.
I was gonna get a new Les Paul but I'm back on the PRS kick.
I want something a bit different from my SC250.
Maybe an early singlecut but I'd swap the bridge and pickup so that's extra.
Or I can just get a nice 245 or 594.
You play heavy music like me do that's good!
I also play heavier stuff it your bands are right up my alley.
Are the 245 and 594 models weight relieved? I forget, have to read thru this again.... Lol
What's a stripped 58?
