I've been on a bit of a guitar-procurement spree recently, although one of them "wasn't my fault" for being a recent acquisition - it was delayed from Feb/Mar.
As some of you know, I picked up that Special Semihollow Ltd at Experience, despite going there fully expecting to grab some variant of the SC594.
The SC594 SH Ltd model has been itching at the back of my mind. Do I want to get in on a WL run? There is at least one going on here. Or do I grab one with "traditional" woods, to get the sound that is probably in my head? The non-10-tops have been looking pretty good, so I think I'm OK not splurging, and sticking with the "base model". I'd maybe go AP if I could get a maple neck/FB, but those are off the table for this model. (Hoarding all the maple for Silver Skys?)
There's a nice one in River Blue on Reverb, with a translucent blue back. But I'd really like a natural back.
Fortunately there is a dealer I've worked with before, who is patient and put up with all my questions about color/back combos, and was very responsive to my emails. And my wife helped pick out a color:
Aquamarine
(Almost went with Blood Orange.)
So sometime early/mid next year I hope to have in my grubby little paws a SC594 SH in Aquamarine with a natural back!
And this doesn't count as part of my current spree, because all I spent was the deposit, no guitar yet! And next year it won't count, because I ordered it this year! See, not my fault again!
