I too have put Ivoroid buttons on my charcoal burst 594 and it looks fantastic. I know I made the decision not to go with the vintage looking McCarty Burst, which was my original intention, but I already have my 'Bear' (similar to the 'Hammer of the Gods'!) and a Lemon Burst LP, so I thought I'd break up the colours a bit. I have a sneaky feeling there may be a second 594 in my future though! Anyway, I digress from the reason for posting:
I bought PRS Ivoroid buttons to go on my Hollowbody II, which obviously fit fine. For the 594, I bought ivoroid buttons from Crazy Parts, thinking they were the same, but cheaper. When I put these on the 594, rather than fitting too closely, as has been the fear with the ebony ones, they actually didn't go fully down the 'stem' (whatever it's called; the bit that goes through the tuner button's hole). So I took the PRS-made ones off the HBII and they fit the 594 fine. Just to add confusion though; the Crazy Parts ivoroid buttons fit the HBII fine! The only conclusion I can draw is there is a slight difference between the spec of the standard phase 3 tuners and the tweaked ones on the 594.
