When direct sunlight hits this top, you can hear angels singing "aaaahhh"...
Note something in my pics of this today you might have
never seen before in my pics - the 3-way in the middle position. I have not really used that position a lot historically, ever, on Les Pauls nor 2 volume PRSi. In this model, with these killer pickups, that is my #1 position, both pickups on and use the volume and tone pots to "flavor" the tone. Bridge on 10 and Neck on 6-7 is a Bridge tone on steroids, and vice versa with the Neck on 10 and the Bridge on 6-7. Want the Clapton "Woman" tone? Neck on 10, Bridge on 7, both tones all the way day down. Okay, so may I could have gotten some of these tones on my various Les Paul's over the years, but they are sounding killer on this 594! Love these pickups.
This guitar inspires me to search for the vintage tones. Today I am plugged into the Bogner Helios on the Gain channel, but into the "Plex" lower input for vintage Plexi tones. Using a Boss Fender '63 Fender Reverb pedal in the loop for a hair of reverb, and the Xotic Effects BB+ OD in front of the amp for that cranked Marshall Bluesbreaker sound. (Thanks Les, for reminding me to dust that off and use that again!) Wow, great tones with this guitar and that setup! (That Helios is awesome. A total "Plexi" amp, not like other Bogner amps.) Channeling some early Clapton with some Beano album jams today...
