Hey guys! I am announcing my retirement as the SC 594 Club President.
I have a lot going on right now, and will be taking a hiatus from the Forums for a while, as I have done a couple of times before over the years.
I wanted to thank you guys for all of the great support and enthusiasm on the McCarty 594 thread, and here on this Singlecut 594 Thread. It sure has been a wild ride over the last two years!
I am counting on you all to keep the 594 love going strong. Have fun and enjoy!
I guess I just need one, after all this fuss...
Paul,
Paul,
Sorry for resurrecting an older post, but your guitar with the changes you made looks awesome! I have a couple of questions / concerns / observations for you and the rest of us...
(By the way I just purchased a 594 SC...due to be delivered in 2 days...waiting is SO hard...)
First, was there any change in the pickup output or tone with the change to the Allparts gold pole pieces? My concern is a change in alloy from what PRS uses might alter things...not that that would be horrible, but these guitars sound so amazing me, I'd hate to screw it up. Are my concerns unfounded?
Second, I've been shopping around for gold tuner buttons. It looks like Schaller makes large buttons that might be a match for PRS. I might need to buy the entire TUNER set, but it's less expensive than Phase 3s. Any comments?
Finally, I see that a company called Tone Ninjas (or something like that) sells ebony buttons with inlaid PRS birds that are advertised to fit Phase 3 tuners. They look amazing (if a little busy). Does anybody have experience with these?
Thanks!
Gene
goldtop SC 594 popped up on reverb for 2800. my dream of the affordable 594 is coming true
Ended up trading this to Randy at Infinity Guitars in Houston for a Baker B3 - that was originally custom ordered by our very own Pete Dale! Pete, I swear I'm not stalking you! I'm really liking the B3 so far. Randy is awesome to deal with as well!My recent Pat Benetar (heartbreaker) - everything one could ask for in a SC tone wise and playability wise. This one has IRW neck and bras board, 59/09 bridge - it absolutely crushes tone wise (and my back, dang it!).
I did at least confirm empirically what Pete already proved several times over - that these SC models do have that extra 5% for classic SC tones. I understand such continual tests are very important for the betterment of humanity
I joined the SC594 club. Had to sell a few things, but it was worth it.
Wow! Somehow I forgot Emerald was an available color on those babies.
They actually called it Vintage Aqua. The other pic I have is in different lighting and it looks totally different.
Dig it! Congrats! Light or dark back?
Dark back.

We'll miss you Pete! Thanks for the journey!
I`ve learned a lot from you Pete. We`ll patiently wait for your return.
Looking forward to MA_Pete's return and whatever his new obsession is. It always seems to be an adrenaline shot to the forum!
When Pete comes back, it will be with a vengeance as always .
Looks like I'll have something to add to this thread in about 5-6 months . This wait is going to suck .
I sure gonna miss you Pete, I wonder how I'm gonna contact you when I get my 594 SC . Well I wish you the best in your future endeavor hoping that will hear from you in the near future. With God speed brother.
Play on, brother!
