Weeeeelllll dang it. Throw that gorgeous one on the must have list.
glad to see a lot of color choices for these.....need to see the violet and charcoal burst in person........would absolutely kill for one of these in bonni pink but not sure I want it enough to spring for Artist pack..........one of these is likely going to come home from MD in a couple weeks with me....
I think I should arrange to forget my wallet.one of these is likely going to come home from MD in a couple weeks with me....

So, by "safe" do you mean you can't find the combo you want, so your money is safe? Or that you found exactly what you want, and you will have one of these safely in your possession sooner or later?I just did and I think I'm safe
Thanks Shinksma
Well, I ditched the PS idea and just put this baby on hold. Need to dump my Gibson True Historic real quick so off to GC it goes lol

Ugh.. its disappointing. You can't out Les Paul a Les Paul. I would choose a new Les Paul standard over a core 594 in a heartbeat, especially now that the LPs have the axcess heel on them. Thats because I'd want the authentic sound, not something pretending to be that. In case you don't know. 24.594" is the golden age Gibson scale.
I love PRS, But, its disheartening to see Paul have all this Gibson envy. Paul should stick to his thing. 25" scale double cuts. Suhr and other builders are doing the same thing with strats. So, its not just Paul. People think they can outdo the originals but they really can't. No one wants to innovate anymore. Paul was THE innovator in 1985. Now its retro this and retro that. We can't even get out of 1959 with pickup designs. I love my 85/15 pickups in my CE but they are a 1959 PAF design with maybe a few extra winds. I think Paul released the Floyd CU24 and said thats the modern guitar just to wash his hands of it. Everything else is going back in time. I don't like that Paul has alienated the modern players in favor of the near retirement crowd with bucks to spare. At least Suhr, while doing retro stuff, still has a large focus on the modern crowd and Music Man pretty much has gone totally that route. Kiesel too. I would just hate to see PRS plummet one day because they are focusing on a market where the money will eventually dry up.
Let the flaming begin.
Gee. I have a new McCarty on order with Sweetwater. Now this 594 has given me a headache What to do, what to do?
