As far as reading it all, I need something to do while I’ve been waiting for it to get here. Not that 2 jobs and a family with 3 little boys don’t already. Haha.
I’ve always played dual HB guitars. Then bought a dual p90 guitar. Thought that was what I wanted. However they all had modern higher output pickups. Through a series of events, realized I like lower output pickups and single coils are what I probably should have been playing. Was looking for a 305 (with a figured maple top, those are hard to find) when I found the 513. Figured it was close enough. And man was it great. I just didn’t love the color. And also wished for a satin/bare/rosewood neck. Talked to ptc about doing satirizing the neck (along with fixing a small spot of finish that had popped off on the side of the fretboard). Decided instead of modding a guitar I would only really really like, I should let it go, and kept looking and reading. Because what it taught me was, not only are single coils my thing, so are clear humbuckers.
So I was still looking mostly for a 305/513/509, but kept an on the 594’s. Watching videos and reading reviews. In one video about the 594, Brian Ewald said something like, he’s always been a single coil guy, but the 594 and 58/15LT’s were the first humbuckers he’s really bonded with. That definitely had me watching 594’s a bit closer. Found one I liked at a price that agreed with me and the rest is history. Well at least until it gets here.
